ok so im the type of person that likes a fast car but with a nice stereo system too.ive always had 2 twelves in my trunk but have or do any of u ever put the speakers anywhere else like under the seats or something crazy like that cause i dont like mines in the back.i want a system but cant think ok anyplace to put them besides the trunk and that's alot of weigth added too.

[gripthenboost]

i have a buzuka tube. Its a 8". Sounds awesome. i have an external amp running it.

[ryanw]

Thats the price you pay for a good sound. Go with a buzuka tube or just down size your speakes and box. I have 10" in mine. i dont like all the room they take up either but im not giving up sound for space

[fogged306]

Without glasswork, you're not getting a sub anywhere else but the trunk. At least anywhere where you can make it sound good and use more than a 6" woofer.

mount a 15 inch in the spare tire area then cover it up and now one will know its there,being a 15 inch should give you plenty of base,i used to like a good stereo in my cars but im getting older and half the time i dont ever turn them on anymore,but if you run a 15 make sure you run a capacitor or it will suck to much power from the amp and cut out half the time

[1987mustanggt]

i thought of the bazooka's too but not that many ppl have them... fuck this is hard to think of

Do people still do that ? I thought that was a fad with all the rice burners. So what do you do when you get a flat. Call AAA

[1987mustanggt]

it does sound like sumtin a ricer would do but fuck its better then the having a heavy ass box in the back.less weight..anyone got more idea's?

[Big_B_96]

i've heard of people glassing 10's into the doors... but that is a shit ton of work and skill for it to sound right and i'd rather have a smaller trunk lol

[ryanw]

Just put a single 10" sub. or a single 12". Now your only using half the space. Are you looking to have nothing back there? What ever you do dont put it in the spare tire area. Ive seen people that do that and there subs dont last that long, they get smashed and ripped You cat put any thing on top of them so you still cant use you trunk. Plus you need a spare tire

that sure as shit wont work. not only will it probably be too deep, too much sub for the car, but you wont have anywhere near the space needed for a 15.

build a slot port box for a 10" sub to put between the shock towers, to the specs of the sub you want, then bolt it to the floor and make a facia for it so it blends in completely with the rear seats and shock tower humps.

i did that with a kicker cvr10 threw 300 watts at it and it will rock your shit. if you dont have a capable set of front components, that are amped, you wont hear anything but bass.

[1987mustanggt]

u dont have any pics mxnate116 that sounds good i just wanna have something decent sounding without all the weight of a box and all that other shit...cause i also put a battery in the trunk for the stereo alone.so that about maybe 100 extra pounds or more...

[91cobra5.0]

I have 2 12s in mine and still have room for a 10lb bottle and the battery and I can still put some things in the trunk, I put the amp in the spare tire spot, the spare tire well is plenty of space for a 15in sub, get some mat and lay it out inside the well, spread some glass over it cut to fit some medium density fiberboard, seal the glass to the board, mount the amp on the back of the rear seats and run the wires under the carpet. a few friends of mine are using the round 15in kikers in their cars and those subs hit with a big enough amp.

[mxnate116]

ill try to dig something up, if you want a sub, you are going to have to have a box, unless you have a coupe you could run a different setup that doesnt require a box. there was a guy in the 5.0 mag that had the battery, amp and sub all inside one 'enclosure' that looked pretty clean. but it took up half the hatch area.

here is the best pic i could find of the old kicker setup. im going to be building a different setup for a different driver, but thats on hold until i can actually drive the car.

if physics were on your side then yes. but the mounting depth of the typical 15" driver is at least 8in. the depth of the spare tire well is 6. which means you need to glass in a 2" rise, at LEAST(a kicker cvr15 is 8 1/8"). also if the laws of physics were on your side (i.e. the spare tire well were square) you could get a MAX of 2.4ft^3 of airspace(which you wont). without doing the in depth calculations, your going to get a decent amount less airspace then that.

most 15" drivers need at least 1.8ft^3 of airspace. thats the minimum. and by minimum i mean real shallow bass notes. they cant follow through into the low end. it might add to the punchyness, IF and only IF you have a set of components that can produce decent midbass tones. other then that its just loud garbage.

A single 10" sub in a well designed ported enclosure is what works best in these cars. i have tried out many different setups and a properly designed 10" system works the best.

[twinmill]

um or u can just try buy a 10" solo baric x. No offense size means nothing. Anyone running 2 Cheap ass pioneer's or kicker cvrs and is complaining deserves to get hit.

Just got buy a high quality 10" or 12. Do the box right it wont be to much weight. Also make sure its hooked up to the proper size amp so ur reaching the subs potentional.

Dont be like me and a 500 hooked up to 2 l7's.

Its all abount the magnet so look into competition subs and ull save some space

Just got buy a high quality 10" or 12. Do the box right it wont be to much weight. Also make sure its hooked up to the proper size amp so ur reaching the subs potentional.got something right, you have to match your equipment. but buying a nice driver, and the right amp is only half the ordeal. a proper install(that includes the right enclosure) is the other part of the battle.

magnet size doesnt mean quality factor. there is tons of other factors that play into a good driver.

also comp subs usually use more space, tuned higher, to get a higher spl. doesnt really play into a DD at all.

and im sorry but a solo x is for nothing other then being loud as shit. the SQ is horrible on those drivers. doesnt matter if its l5 or l7. just a SPL sub.

if you want sound quality look elsewhere

[91cobra5.0]

here is mine and it knocks hard, i didnt have my bottle yet but everything is exactly the same except the subs are pushedall the way back and left and the bottle is to the right

[91cobra5.0]

oh and i ran a 14.1 in pueblo colorado at a elevation of like 5400ft on my gt40 ecam set up before i noticed the lower intake manifold gasket was leaking coolant and it was running faster and faster with each pass and i was barely learning how to launch the nt05r's i had, cutting like 2.1 60s (driver error haha) with the speakers

I don't run a spare tire even without subs in the trunk. That's what cell phones are for.

That's what polyfill is for.
