Rockywwf Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I have a 2010 Audi Q5 withe the B&O system. I purchased a Digital Designs SW6.5 sub (http://www.ddaudio.com/products/mobile-audio/woofers/sw65) to replace the stock 6.5" sub in the car. I also purchased a Fosgate P300X1 amp to power the new sub. Originally I was going to make a sleve and set the woofer in the sparetire enclosure that the original woofer sits in. Upon researching what other have done I see that some have made ported boxes for replacement woofers which sit in front of the spare tire in the back. (see below) I would love to go this route but I have no idea how to design a ported box. I could build it if I had planes. Anyone out there who may have done a similar project would you be interested in helping out? The specs for the woofer are seen on the link above but I can tell you that the minimum cubic feet the box should be is .33 net cubic feet. Thanks in advance. If I left any info out let me know.

Trust me I am a huge fan of this system minus the sub par bass. I just need a bit more thump and all the reasearch I did lead me to just amp the 1 replacement woofer with another amp and leave the rest of the system alone. Saw and heard an install on a 2013 Q7 and it was amazing. They used a 12" sub which is way more than I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S15_Silvia Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Fair enough. Haha I love the Q5s. My dad bought a 2012 and would've had to custom order the B&O package, which I wish he had done. 2016 Subaru BRZ | Sony XAV-AX100 | Rockford Fosgate DSM 4080 & DSM 40ix | On 6/6/2012 at 6:32 PM, 'LZTYBRN' said: 3.

matt scarlett Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 The B&O fanboy in me is pissed that you're replacing their stuff with a Fosgate Punch series. Fuck it though not my car. Not sure how you'll take this then; I've heard stock RF system in a friends Mitsubishi. Hideous! But people have needs. I literally, only design and build t-lines. Having built 7-8 enclosures for my hybrid Audio I6SW, I was on the way to buying a DD SW6.5, when I had my driving license revoked due to ill health (unable to work). So for now my DD SW6.5 build is a dream but I still design the odd t-line around the SW6.5. Love to try one of these subs one day. Don't know what dimension you're working with, but this is probably the most compact design I've come up with. Working on a ported variation And my first attempt at a horn design similar to this PWK horn for the SW6.5 Whatever you do, I'd love to hear any updates and watch any videos. I now have to live my car audio life vicariously through others. Sad, but health comes first i guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
