There's been a lot of questions asked in other threads, here are the frequently asked ones:
What's up with the shape?
The the box was CAD designed to be easily producable without having to use a car as a mold and to keep the box prices down (you'll note these boxes are pretty cheap when compared to other Subaru specific boxes). It was also designed to get the most amount of internal volume while not taking up leg room and not blocking the air vents that pump air to the passengers in the rear. We accomplished those goals and the end result is the shape you see.
Is a subwoofer included?
No, a aubwoofer is not included because Premier has very large-company requirements to become a dealer.
What Subwoofer do we recommend?
Pioneer Premier shallowmount 8" subwoofer, here is the link: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn...969765,00.html (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069929_297969765,00.html)
How deep is the box?
The box is a little over 2.5" deep, I'll have to measure when I get home.
What is the volume of the box?
The box was designed to take up the least amount of cabin space and not impede the use of the underseat vents that port air to the rear-seat passengers. Our goal was to meet the Premier 8" minimum volume requirements, and we did, the internal volume is 0.15 ft^3.
What is the box made of / construction / etc?
Each box is made of a mix of sizes of MDF. Mainly 1/4" MDF is used with the exception of the Subwoofer mounting face, which is 1/2" MDF. The boxes were designed in solid modeling software to get the maximum volume and keep our self-imposed constraints of not interfering with the cars functions (foot room and underseat vents). After the boxes are put together, they are *hot* coated with what is essentially a truck bed liner, however, we have a custom mixed blend with extra Polyurea to make the boxes stronger, this is how we get away with using 1/4" MDF and not having the box flex.
Does the Subwoofer fire down?
Yes. Our early design had the subwoofer firing up. This was bad for 2 reasons.
First, it made installation a pain for the end user. Installation still requires you to bend the wire clips in all the way. However, if it fired up, you have to zip tie and push your wires all around.
Second, it makes the front passenger seat hard to sit in. The subwoofer pounding under the seat firing up can be uncomfortable for some. we now have it firing down, and it'll still give you a butt massage, but it won't be irritating.
