did you build your own then or is this an addition to one you had? A sound system is on my list, but the prices of the ready to install ones scare me.

A 3" can produce bass, just not much for very long. Had a buddy that hooked a couple Sony 3" up to a 100w amp once, they cranked for about 15 minutes, then never worked again. They put 6" in my SSV Works, way more money though.
You gotta figure out how to post those vid's. Check out @PistonHonda 's thread about his new camera, I wrote up a basic How To.

Finishing up a room addition on the house right now so I haven't had any time to mess with the P5. Even though that's all I can think about as I'm working. Have some stuff waiting to go on and even more in my head.
One of the things I plan to do is wrap the inside of the toolbox with Dynamat. Will cut down the rattles and resonance created by the air pressure. I can shake the lid easily right now and it's adjusted real tight already. Won't make a huge difference but should add some lost thump.

No, not really. A 3" set up the way it is in a soundbar will not produce much bass. Your statement was a 3" does not and will not produce bass.
Back in the '70's, Bose introduced the 901 series. Those are what put Bose on the map. It had like eight 3" and two horn tweeters in each cabinet. They were known for being unblowable. My brother had a pair and those speakers would straight up punish you, hit so hard they'd make you blink.
Like most electronics, hi fidelity is a science. All depends on the equipment and how it's configured. A 3" is capable of producing bass though.

@JTW im thinking about getting one of these. If you hook up one of those tube bass speakers, will the sound bar have enough power to support it or would you need a separate amp?
I honestly can't answer that.. the way mine is sealed it would not be an easy thing to do. But truthfully.. it's not too bad as far as bass goes. It's much better than I thought it would be.
