Ie got two ideas:1) Bucket seats, rears removed and a polished rollcage OR2) Porsche front Seats, 3 x 10" subs where back seats would be and tinted rear windowsany other ideas appreciatedcheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Seeing as you;ve definitely gone for the idea of having no back seats id go with the roll cage and porsche seats. Most people who take the back seats out and opt for a cage, tend to really go for the weight loss, so some light weight bucket seats might not be a bad idea. Keeping the weight down and the speed up! Im guessing the cage will stiffen the chasis up alot and make the car handle better and with some excess weight removed should be quite a bit quicker to, which is no bad thing style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Porsche seat would be plush but they will be quite heavy and with 3 subs in the back you will definitely notice the difference.Oh from watford btw, might see you motoring about when im back from uni style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I quite like two front seats, boarded out at the back, with one sub sitting flush in the spare wheel well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDGM Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I'm taking my rears out (once I've worked out how!), boarding it and fitting a pair of MK4 Golf Recaros. All to fit a bike in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbeth! Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) Unless its a BMX itll be very tight, My brother rides a 26" trials bike, with a stupidly small frame.He got a puncture, and I drove him home whilst chewing handle bars!

dublife2 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Great to see a pic of how i had mine! Girls love bucket seats and they look great strapped in with the harnesses!lol. thats the thing, my gf is normally my only passenger! all my other mates drive themselves! Thats why i dont need rear seats and i thought if im goin to put my subs in (which are very heavy btw) i would need to remove something else to balance out the weight. Do i need a spare wheel to pass an MOT?anyone know the best way to make a false floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLYes ok... You missed the point majourly.I said BETTER not louder..something that is LOUDER is more often than not worse.As for "Mutant" And "Ripspeed" ...Far from it.DLS R6 Components up front being powered by a Phase Evolution CC280 ampa/d/s/ R12.S2 sub which originally was powered by a Rockford Fosgate 501bd (650wRMS) in a 0.8cu.ft SEALED enclosure... Currently powered by a random Blaupunkt Monoblock for the time being.yeah ok so its only £1500's worth... and theres only "four parts to it" without the head unit... I forgot to sound better something needed to have eight hundred speakers and three million killa-watts style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />I'm 99.9% Certain i know more about car audio than you'll ever know.SQ is the key to sounding BETTER. not making someone cringe.but you dont know what subs, what amps are goig to be used..bit of bold statement?Thats how confident i am...Ask anyone on here who'se propperly heard my setup in the lupo, and most of them won't be able to say they've ever heard a car audio system that sounds better.Controll is everything... Volume is nothing without it...maybe you should speak to Noddy1, Garth, db, paulbin, lupogtiboy or many others if you doubt me style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Edited May 22, 2007 by nfbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond D61000.1 Mono. As for treble and mids, ive got a full Focal setup, and if youre in the know, which it sounds like you are, you'll know what the Focal V165K2Ps and Focal 690CV are capable of. Im running the Alpine 9813 Head Unit with an Alpine H700 Digital sound processor so dont talk to me about quality.I appreciate the effort though.

Anyone in there right mind looking to compete in sound quality events would not have three subs, and if you were REALLY serious about quality - You wouldn't have bought 6x9" co-axail speakers, no matter how much they cost, or how good the manufacture is rated to be...You stick to what you think, and i'll stick to what i Know.
