I don’t take heed to music at very excessive volumes and I’m not on the lookout for glass-shattering bass which turns into uncomfortable for different passengers.

Good day all,
I’m a proud proprietor of a Honda Metropolis ZX MT (4th Gen), that I bought myself in 2019. The automobile already got here with a fairly good audio setup however as soon as the guarantee interval crossed, I began to have an itch to improve.
Quick ahead to at this time, my setup already consists of the next:
- HU : Blaupunkt San Andreas 970 (wi-fi AA + carplay)
- Audio system : JL C1 650 elements (entrance + rear)
- Damping : Twin Dr. Artex 2mm damping carried out on all 4 doorways.
I need to say that probably the most vital impression on the audio high quality (and total noise discount) occurred solely due to damping.
The JL C1 audio system however, whereas fairly good in themselves, should not a lot of a big improve over the OEM audio system.
Now, I’m trying to get a bit extra bass output from this setup and I’ve tried to mess around with the equalizer settings however I’m not in a position to fulfil my need.
Please notice, that I don’t take heed to music at very excessive volumes and I’m not on the lookout for glass-shattering bass which turns into uncomfortable for different passengers since it is a household automobile, only a little bit of a rise is what I’m on the lookout for.
I did some analysis on-line and on team-bhp and located an underseat subwoofer to be a viable choice and talked to my ordinary man, who instructed me that we can not set up an underseat subwoofer in Honda Metropolis because the house is not sufficient below the seats.
He instructed me to put in an amplifier as a substitute since I’m not on the lookout for a considerable improve within the bass and instructed manufacturers like Morel or Brazo 4 channel amplifier.
My doubt nevertheless is:
- Would an amplifier actually give that incremental improve within the bass I’m on the lookout for?
- If the above is not any, then what sort of choices do I’ve? I’m not eager to place a bass tube within the boot as I journey lots and wish that boot house.
Any assist can be appreciated!
Thanks.
This is what BHPian Mr.Boss needed to say in regards to the matter:
JL C1 is a really respectable performer, I doubt the HU is the weak hyperlink right here. Having skilled a number of Blaupunkt HUs, their output high quality or the flexibleness of tuning could be very restricted in comparison with Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer.
Strive slim subwoofers just like the Sony XS-AW8.
Or
Get a correct passive subwoofer put in with a customized enclosure that does not devour a lot of the boot house.

Simply to let you know what is feasible, there are many below seat sub-woofers accessible out there that may be put in below the driving force’s seat. These are of the identical dimensions as an everyday amplifier that’s normally mounted beneath the seat.
I drive a 2015 Verna and have an below seat sub-woofer put in (make Blaupunkt, I have no idea the mannequin quantity). They’ve been performing splendidly for the final 7 years. The benefit is that they don’t want amplifiers or hi-lo converters to be put in.
For my listening wants, it’s the excellent filler sub. By the best way, my head unit and audio system are inventory that got here with the automobile.

Discovering a store with an XS Aw8 in inventory shouldn’t be arduous. Ask one to borrow and see when you can match it below your seat – you’ll be able to inform them the reality – that you’re fascinated about shopping for one, however your ordinary store declined your small business saying that it would not match. I really feel they need to match – My FIL’s 4G Metropolis has amps below each seats – the AW8 dimension is comparable.
Personally because the proprietor of not one, however TWO underseat subs, I discover the XS AW8 underwhelming – it struggles to fill my Indica with deep bass – It sounds extra like synthetic DSP’d mid bass. I desire the Blaupunkt XLF 200A I bought second-hand in my Etios – It goes lots decrease. You must try the Blaupunkt XLF10A – It is cheaper too.
This is what BHPian akhil chandu needed to say in regards to the matter:
What a coincidence! I simply put in an Alpine PWE 7700e-el underseat subwoofer below the driving force seat in my Honda Metropolis ZX i-DTEC. It’s a brand new 7-inch mannequin, compact and was a correct match, simply that the seat needed to be raised barely.
Beforehand I used to be utilizing an Infinity Primus 12 inch subwoofer within the boot. Initially, I had deliberate for an underseat and I’ve tried many however as a result of house problem below the seat, none of them may match. Therefore needed to go for a correct boot subwoofer. However then someway discovered the bass too heavy and boomy. Furthermore, it was loud for individuals sitting on the again and there was vital loss by the point it hit the entrance passenger. Therefore after I bought to find out about this underseat, took the plunge.
I might say it’s respectable in delivering tight bass. However then as a result of house problem, the subwoofer touches the seat and transmits a number of vibrations onto the seat and it will get uncomfortable at instances. Contemplate this earlier than continuing. In my view, for Honda Metropolis, a correct boot subwoofer works one of the best. Get a small one when you don’t need heavy bass.
