patroddy Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Been looking around the web, and as i think id like to keep the use of a boot (well rear glove box) ive been thinking of getting 2 under seat subs under each seat, and possibly one under the seats in the rear.

Evil Thomas Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Well recently I installed a sub under passeneger seat But had decided not to put one under drivers as I usually drive with seat lowered To fit the sub in you need to cut away carpet underneath and remove some insolation !

Piers Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 patroddy, it depends on what your after mate and how much your wanting to pay. I had a Hifonics Atlas in a box in the boot with an amp next to it. it looked clean and tidy. the sub was 250 and the amp was around 200 new (borrowed amp from a friend). depending on what kind of sound your looking at, personally id reccomend upgrading the door speakers and have tweeters etc and amp them. dont bother with a sub as it will drown out the sound of the standard speakers if you dont have it set right. you will just have one loud droning sound.Best bit of advice i would give is: get some infiniti kappa's (or other decent speakers but not too expensive) get a decent amp and have it all installed set up professionally. that way you will have a brilliant quality sound.if you want a loud bass. go for a good quality 12" sub and powerful amp. dont get anything cheap as it will be cr**. at the end of the day you get what you pay for with most things so the more you spend on a sub (in theory) the better it will be. Also, if you get a sub run it on minimum for at least 24 hours (working time) before you turn it up. it will loosen it up and make it last longer in the long run. a mate of mine is into his audio and runs an extension lead to his at night and runs the subs overnight on minimum volume to "run them in".Hope this helps you and if you have any questions let me know and i will try and help.Piers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 and in relation to the size. there are a few factors to this, e.g. obviously the amount of space you will need for it. the smaller the sub the "sharper" it will be. 12" is a good size IMO. thats what i ran. but if your wanting a very simply sound that doesnt overpower the door speakers id go for a 10. that would give you quality over volume as long as its set up correctly.but to be fair, you wouldnt really notice the difference between a 10 or a 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puggled Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 How would you get a 12" sub under the seat? Free air maybe, but not boxed.You can get wee units like the Kenwood KSC SW01 that will give you bass, but not sub bass, that fit under the seats.Pioneer WX77A takes up next to no space in your boot and gets very good write ups.Some clever compact subs use bandpasses and loading to get impressive bass from small drivers, eg my Yamaha sub in my home audio system can drop pretty low considering it is 100W and 6" driver. It can flap my jeans 8 feet away from the port. It'll drop below 80Hz but you won't get much volume from it at 40Hz.But for proper low bass there is no substitute for inches.

Piers Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Also, you won't get one under the rear seats buddy. Maybe under the fronts but wouldn't go through the hassle myself. Get one in the boot. Could use the wheel well to sit it level with the boot floor or just have a box in the boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
