digitaljok: The signal we use is as follows:

In a non-DSP car, we tap the pre-amp audio signal from the factory tuner. This is a full range signal which is crossed over at our amp so that the subwoofer is playing only the bass frequencies. Note that the full range of audio is still being played to the rest of the system; the sub bass is not "crossed out" unfortunately.

In a DSP car, we tap the the factory subwoofer audio signals and crossover as necessary again.

In a car with aftermarket audio equipment, you feed it whatever signal you want and cross it over however you want!

dkl: The sub is designed to play through the factory cover without any grille or other opening. In blind comparison tests here, we weren't able to detect a difference with or without the cover in place.

As far as the amp, if you don't want to give up your CD changer, you are going to be VERY hard pressed to find a spot other than on the outside of the cover.

It looks very nice, but at that price, I dunno.
Will there be a sale on the sub only, w/no amp?

Nope; we will not be offering this outside of a complete package.

Sorry you think the price is high, but if you compare this to the cost of a custom solution in this location on the vehicle at any local audio shop, you'll find ours is far less expensive.

Micah, I live in Italy and have not been able to find a place here that sells this brand. Strange. Can you lend some help? I live far north in Trento.

Which other subs are your comparable too? And do you think we can add other woofers in that box aswell? Maybe an 8W3v2?

Very few woofers are in the same league as the BSW by Alumapro 8" subwoofer we're using, not only because the subwoofer is super, but also because it will be re-engineered specifically for the enclosure and amplifier. Also, I haven't done side by side comparisons in this application and configurations, so I am hesitant to make comparisons.

We have not tested an 8w3v2 and cannot say if it will fit; we have taken no depth measurements since we do not intend to sell the enclosure outside of a package, so I can't say if it will fit.

Hoopie: BSW is a small, U.S. based company and we do not have an established international distribution network at this time. We are, however, happy to ship internationally to you.

This is unfortunate since I already have a sub/amp installed and was hoping that I will only need to swap out my sub/box with yours to get back some trunk space. I guessed if you're not considering offering the sub/enclosure separately, I would just have to turn to JL audio for their sub/enclosure or just leave my current set-up as is

We understand. If we see enough demand, we MAY offer the enclosure pre-loaded with subwoofer, but we don't have specific plans to do so at this time.
