"While vehicles have become bigger on the outside, the amount of interior space has shrunk. Until now, if you wanted a subwoofer box in an SUV or minivan, you either had to relinquish storage space or mount a 6-in.-deep speaker into a 2-in.-deep door panel. Blaupunkt's OverDrive ODw1200 Saucer subwoofer ($299) solves that problem. The Saucer is half as deep as conventional 12-in. woofers and can tuck into spots where other subs can't go.
Tom Breithaupt, Engineer and Product Manager at Blaupunkt, calls the Saucer a nice compromise because it reproduces low bass by combining a large cone with a shallow cone. As a result of the shallow depth, the woofer can easily fit into a side door, kick panel or center console. Blaupunkt recommends using the Saucer with a 200-watt amplifier and doubling the subs and amps to achieve the deepest lows down to 20 Hz to 30 Hz." - Popular Mechanics
