Is this a good place for a woofer in a cab?

[Scouser]

Like everyone else with a cab, I have been searching for a good place to put a subwoofer.

Looking at the space between the pop-up roll bars there seems to be a good space to fit a low profile subwoofer like the Blaupunkt ODw 1000E. This speaker is 10" by 2.5" in depth. There's also a more expensive but high powered and punchy option.:Phase Linear Aliante 8si (sorry no link) is an 8" flat panel extremely efficient subwoofer and its about 2.2" in depth.

The question I have is, do you think mounting a speaker between the pop up bars is a bad idea? I can't see how it would interfear with anything but the red alen key which can be relocated. But what do you think?

Hey there,

Did you ever go ahead and do this by any chance?

Just this afternoon, I had the back panel out doing some stuff with the top mechanism, and I looked at the space you're describing and thought the very same thing...

I think I'm going to take it over to my stereo guy and see what he has to say about it.

Just curious if it worked for you.

Thanks.

Not trying to disrupt your purchase, but I have never been a fan of Blaupunkt. Just don't think they have the quality of sound some others do.

I'd be interested to see what you come up with...if it works out could you throw a couple pics up as well...

here is what i did for my stereo. it is very clear, lots of bass and i can hear it just fine with the top down, i loose about an inch in the seats being able to go back but at 6'1" i still am very comfortable. i cant get the clutch in with the seat all the way back anyways.....
