helix

hey gang I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience using the helix e8w. I was going to purchase to go underseat in my f30. I had the sws and didn't find them to be a very musical driver nor did it have much midbass, 50-300hz is all I need, each coil gets 75 watts rms..

Those subs (they are not woofers) require at least a 1/2" spacer to fit in the F30 OEM shallow woofer enclosures.

Have you thought about putting the stock woofers back in and running a powered sub in the trunk. You can just tap into speaker wires for signal. Cross it over pretty low and use the stock woofers for mid bass?

Jehnerts

With that added power the Jehnerts may work they are mid bass drivers.
