    Question Sub Woofers

    Guys,

    I have heard mention some C70's with Subs, in the back seats .

    Was this an option, I have the pro-logic setup, but dont see large subs anywhere ?

    can you retro-fit them ?

    any ideas

    Came on the cabrio only I think, but yeah twin subs one directly behind each of the rear seats. Theirs a switch in the back for rear seat passengers to switch them off as it gets annoying having them on sat their!

    these are not big subs, i think they were something like 8" diameter iirc (may be wrong) and yes they fit in the rear seats. i have never seen a car with them and i am not sure that you can see them, but in the accessory catalouge they list them for c70 cab's only, and in the picture you can see that there are speakers actually in the seats (i dont know if you can see them like this when they are fitted though, may be a misleading picture?)

    if you look in the back of the c70's by the cigarette lighter for the rear passengers, theres a blank switch, this is where the switch is that after shock mentioned, for switching the rear subs off when people are in the back. price wise, again i'm not sure (never sold them, only priced them up a couple of times in the past), but think the retail is around £230 or so

    No, you cant see them but they can be seen from in the boot if you pull the carpet down. 8" looks about right, and the switch is useful as they really do pound the back seats.

    Thanks Guys

    My idea was to have them and the parcel shelf speakers, (maybe a bit of overkill though)

    I wonder if the wiring is there ?, I will pull the carpet back in the boot and have a look

    cheers

    I doubt their will be the wires their as they were on cabs only, could be worth a look though. Problem with fitting them to the coupe will be that they are just exposed in the boot where with the cab they are hidden.

    Im 90% sure they are 9inch subs so a bit of a weird size.

    Nice price!

    The ones in the rear shelf on the coupe's are mid/bass units not subs, although they do a very good job!
