Installing a subwoofer in your car? Choose compact, smart and powerful.
A subwoofer can literally boost your car audio. No more flat sound, dull bass or distortion at high volume. But ... you're not waiting for a huge box that takes up half your trunk. Recognizable? Fortunately, there are better solutions. At Eye4Audio we build daily compact subwoofers in cars - with strength, without concessions.
In this blog, we explain how to choose the right subwoofer, which brands are proven, and how we ensure a neat and invisible installation.
🔊 Why install a subwoofer in your car?
The standard speakers in most cars lack one thing: real low end. Bass is smoothed out or sounds cluttered as soon as you turn up the volume. A subwoofer solves this:
- ✅ More punch and body in your music
- ✅ No distortion at low frequencies
- ✅ Better balance between high, middle and low
- ✅ Less load on your normal speakers
Whether you like hip-hop, house, metal or classical - a subwoofer makes music listening more fun, dynamic and immersive.
🚗 But what about space?
Many people think of a subwoofer as a huge box in the trunk. Understandably so. But these days there are smart, compact solutions:
- Active subwoofers (amplifier built in)
- Flatbox subwoofers under your seat
- Small, efficient crates With smart placement (in side panels or wheel arches)
At Eye4Audio, we always look at your car and how you use it. Losing space? Not at all. We build the subwoofer in such a way that you lose practically no luggage space.
💡 What brands do we use?
We work only with brands that perform AND are reliable. No AliExpress junk, no unbranded junk. Our favorite compact subwoofers:
🔸 Audison Prima (active subwoofers)
Very tight sound, extremely compact. The 10" active sub often fits behind or under seats. Often used in our Level 1 audio package.
🔸 Hertz
Known for their tight tuning and punchy character. Hertz has both small boxes and flat active subwoofers.
🔸 Vibe
Ideal for lovers of solid bass. Compact solutions that really impress without being overdone.
🔸 Option Audio
Budget-friendly and solid. Good choice for simple upgrades or smaller cars.
🔸 EDGE
For those who like a little more impact. Slightly coarser in tone, but extremely powerful - and still available in compact sizes.
📦 Which subwoofer fits your car?
It depends on:
- The available space (under seats, side panels, floor)
- Your music style and listening preference
- Whether you already have an amplifier or not
- Whether your audio has already been upgraded
We always suggest a customized proposal. Sometimes a flat active subwoofer under the seat is perfect. Sometimes a mini-box in the wheel well is smarter. Always with an eye on sound and comfort.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I also install a subwoofer without an amplifier?
Yes. An active subwoofer has a built-in amplifier. Convenient and space-saving.
Will my trunk remain usable?
Yes. We build in such a way that you can still just run errands or put a stroller.
Will this work with my original radio?
Most of the time it does. We use an LC2i or similar interface to pick up the signal with no problems.
Is the audible difference really big?
Yes. You don't just hear it - you feel it, too. Basses become fuller, music more alive.
