Tiguan Subwoofer

for the remote you could tap off a 12v oultet, in out 2009 Tig it is a switched power source.

I ordered a Rockford fosgate shallow mount 10" sub and a kicker mono amp. I'm doing a custom box under the panel in the back. I'll take pics and update this thread (should be by this time next week). I'm using a line out converter and keeping the factory equipment, just adding to it.

I have two KEF 8 inch 4ohm woofers if anyone is interested. I'd like $50 for the pair.

In case anyone cares, I finished this project. Here are pictures below, let me know if you want more information on how I did it.

Custom box with a shallow mount Rockford Fosgate RSSD2 sub, sounds really great (when used at the appropriate level, meaning no one outside the car knows its there!)

The panel that goes over was custom fabricated by me, using 3/4" MDF.

Protective cover lets the sub breathe and I can still load items on top of it.

Nice!

Where did you put your amps?

If you look close you can see it behind the sub box and the spare tire, closer to the cabin side. I still have room for pairs of athletic shoes and other small items underneath which is nice. Much better use of space than that bulky Styrofoam they had in there from the factory.

Bumping for more posts. I'm ready to pull the trigger on a sub set up but I am still uncertain which is the best route to go. Under floor, custom box, side panels with a 10, side panels with two 6" each, powered sub, a simple tube, etc, etc, etc,

I'd love to hear more as this money is burning a hole in my pocket and the Premium Sound 7 is burning a hole in ear drums!

I am extremely happy with my setup. The one change I will make in the future is to "pretty" up my top panel by fabricating it from a hard wood panel (oak, fir, cedar, etc), and then fabricating a plexiglass cover with stainless steel rivets to hold it in place over the speaker. With my setup, I didn't sacrifice any usable storage space. I couldn't figure out any other option to maintain the storage space. My setup cost about $450 for everything.

Cool, glad you like it! Nothing wrong with prettying up either. I actually am leaning towards just getting a slim box and sticking it in corner of the trunk for now, and deal with asthetics when I have the time and money.

I figured I 'd add my 2 cents to this thread. Just received one of the first Tiguan boxes from Uber Stealth audio. Very happy with it!

Interior volume is in the .7 to .8 cu ft area. I would Highly recommend the Rockford Fosgate Punch P3S Shallow subs for this box. I would bet their cheaper "Prime" shallow subs would also sound great.

Nik delivered a great product that fits beneath the floor of the factory Tiguan (I removed the little latch mechanism on the bottom of the floor).

Hi there nice install with the custom sub enclosure. Would the original hinged cover have fitted over that custom enclosure?

Cost depends on what options you get (carpet, liquid sound deadener, etc.). Lead time is about a month from payment to shipping.

The original hinged cover is in place below my Gorilla Gear mat. I think it is contacting one part of the box causing the floor to not sit perfectly flush at the moment.

I will try to find an extra 1/4 inch or so by shimming the hinge mechanisms on the floor. I did need to remove the little slide latch on the back of the floor that is meant to hold it open.

As it is right now is very good, I just need to tweak that last little bit of fit.

Thanks for the pics. I've been contemplating contacting Nik with some questions. Did you have to send in any measurements or info regarding the foam cutout around the spare?

He made the prototype based on foam from a fwd Tiguan. Mine is AWD so I confirmed the part # on my foam (which was the same).

Nik's site seems to be down.

Nice, but I'd be worried about that tire off-gassing and stinking up the car... would need a cover!

[budokha]

I use a bazooka. I have a dynaudio w a bazooka 10" it has its own amp, performs well, and has for years. It does take up trunk space but it comes out easily when I need to.

Hi there with the boot cover on does the sub breathe ok and does it sound any worse than with the cover off? Just wondering as that 10 inch sub is going to pushing a lot of air when in operation so wondered if a set up like that wouldn't cause vibration in the cover.

That was my concern when I put mine in. Thats why I made my floor panel open with the piece over the top, a couple inches above. It actually disperses the subwoofer's sound really well so I've been happy with it. I only got the cheaper Rockford Prime series and i've been very happy with it.

With the tailgate open and the music loud, the cover vibrates a bit. However, I can't hear any vibrations at all when I'm driving around just listening to music.

As a temporary setup before my Stealth box arrived, I used the same amp and was running a big 12" in a box behind the seat. This Fosgate 10" and stealth box is very close to that 12" (I did have to turn the Bass settings up a bit on my LC2i), and I have 100% of my cargo space.

Good to hear! I actually almost went with a Prime also (my Punch was delayed in shipping). My punch is dual 2ohm VC's wired so I have a single 4ohm load.
