Recommend a small subwoofer that I can have put in my SUV under the seat.

I, too, am trying to hang on to the year 1999.

The amount of 90s and early 00s Baker High School grads on the OT has increased the past week.

Didnt we just have this thread?

Cocomo should have all the answers

Meh. I just want one small speaker.
When I was 16 I had saved up some money and got two 12” speakers and an amp. I also would put my two huge home stereo speakers in the car. Yes I was trashy.

Are you and the guy that started the thread yesterday going to have a “bass off”?

Its easy to install. You can power it using an add a fuse at the fuse box instead of running a wire to the battery.

ETA: Does it happen to say "Sweet N' Low" on the back of your SUV....

---

LOL. No I haven’t had any kind of stickers or magnets in my vehicle for at least 20 years.

Went to school with a very fat guy and he always said when he got his first vehicle he would put Sweet-N-Low in the back windshield.

Just looking for a small increase in base.

A subwoofer is a crucial piece to any audio system. Not to knock pictures off the wall when you pass by, but for playing low frequencies in the music. Any good car audio system has a subwoofer, even from the factory.

Imagine how a home audio system would sound with no subwoofer.

To the OP, like you, I like a good sound quality subwoofer rather than one that is going to be super loud but sound like crap. Sound quality subwoofers are referred to as “SQL” subs and subwoofers that are meant for loudness are referred to as “SPL” subs. That may help you in your search.

In my car, I have one 10” Image Dynamics IDQ10 V4 subwoofer, which is meant for sound quality. Also, a sealed box is better for clean, accurate bass, but it’s quieter than a ported box which is meant for loud boomy bass. It’s about $240.

Like the Image Dynamics sub, the Dayton Audio HO 10” subwoofer is also known as being a fantastic sound quality subwoofer for a good price.

You can research those two subs and SQL subs in general and maybe that will help you in the right direction. You’ll also need a decent amp for those.

JL Audio JD500/1 is a good amp at a good price that is perfect for powering those subs.

Or if you want something easy, look for a compact powered subwoofer. It’s all in one. The amp is built in and it comes in a slim box. It’s not going to get as loud as even those SQL subs I recommended, but it’s cheaper and easier. Something like the JBL BassPro Nano:
