Clio 1.2 mk2
Mate if you can't deal with a negative comment or two then your in trouble. However I never said it was rubbish, I merely said bass and power doesn't = quality. Never said your's sounded bad. I'm sure it sounds fine for what it is. Either way it's your car feel free to do what you like but you are on a forum so expect some people to love it and some to not.

Have you heard bose compared to some similar priced units. They are good for tiny speakers but are nothing compared to a proper speaker. We have plenty of speakers much better than bose.
In what sense?
Some BOSE docks I've heard are better than the kind of behemoth systems Sony shave out. the kind with 4-ft high speakers and a seperate sub... and plenty of flashing lights.
Of course, flashing lights are the symbol of top sound quality, as we all know

Sony do not make proper Hi-Fi, either way no need to fill this dudes thread with crap.

so have you seen what alot of the sq boys run in there set ups in the car.....
I agree that there are much better systems than Bose, but the comment about "proper speakers" is bulls**t and meaningless! Seperating the bass and mid range frequencies from a speaker will increase sound reproduction in any speaker. Bass is non-directional so can be ported from anywhere in a room. The 'proper' speakers you talk about will have a crossover in them to distribute the bass to the woofer only - effectivly the same thing as having a seperate sub/LFE, but putting more strain on the single amp instead of spreding the load... By your reconing, cinemas and the likes have got there setups all wrong! And Dolby made a big mistake creating 5.1 and not just 5.0!!
Clio Dynamique+ 1.4
Liking the tints, but gotta say the whole sound set up looks awful. Sorry if I sound like a c**t, but it's just screaming at me to say it!
1.2 16v clio
no worries its not exactly a show standard car the box is designed to get the best out of the subs plus it gives the wow factor rather then the awe cute type fibreglass enclosers that are designed for shows
1.2 16v clio
erm not quite yet lol its a standard 70a alternator i do have a 110a alternator that i will be fitting until i can afford a high amp hour one but.. i do have 0 gauge throughout the car with upgraded wiring for the alternator plus more batteries which takes off quite alot of the strain
Clio Dynamique+ 1.4
I bet the bass tickles your shitter though haha! I got a Vibe BlackAir 1600Watt sub in the back of mine an I feel the vibrations off that go through my body an on the steering wheel, love it!!
1.2 16v clio
its a real shame i cant video it on my phone as its quite aggressive you can feel the steering wheel and even see it vibrate also the doors and the sunroof flexes and the boot well ive broken the lock twice on it now but hey i enjoy it
Clio Dynamique+ 1.4
I had a brand new Corsa SXi sport before my Clio, an the sub managed to make the whole interior vibrate, even the wing mirrors had a little dance. Pretty worrying in a brand new car haha!

nope sorry but you can use another car battery if you wish if your planning on doing this i would advice on doing the big three wire upgrade on your alternator ( 0 gauge ) and linking the battery using 0 gauge
1.2 16v clio
its not a true 2k as its running at 1.33ohm so im probs doing 1500-1600watts at 14.4v which is rare right now lol the score im not happy i hit a 144.3 but thats with no sound deadening and poor voltage so my plans on selling the spl dynamics has changed as my goal for this year is 145

update time
since forgetting to update i suppose i should say what ive been up to
inside of the box being smoothed off on the corners
front of the box cut up to size ready for fitting
now having to jump ahead as i forgot to take pics of the baffle making
trying to figure out what space i have to play with........ it was tight
another jump... fitted into the car with the box tuned to 27hz nice and low and as the box is it done a 144.8 which is 0.2 away from my goal
next step is sound deadening
i ran out after the front door's and tailgate but i done most of the rear quater panels so time to buy some more as i have the roof and floor left
this is how its currently sitting as i have been busy with working stupid hours
projector headlights and colour coded rub strips fitted on the doors
16" 172 alloys fitted even though from the 15" alloys i had in place no1 can even tell lol
ignore the scratch in this photo people enjoy keying my car even though i never play music outside my house

been a little while so i thought to add a small update
not alot has been done but here are 2 small updates
painted the subwoofer box black so it looks abit better until i decide what to cover it in
brand new update just done today i removed the black carbon effect dash trims as im now going with a blue and orange theme to the car
not the best of pics but here is a pic showing the other side
hopefully i will be sealing in the sunroof as the loud music has managed to damage it causing it to leak even with a good seal and good drainage and that means mdf roof ( more weight to this poor little car ) so once that is done i wont need to be doing this when i get tested on how loud i am haha

I wouldn't be letting people sit on the roof mate, i done it on my old Fiesta and the roof bent, i popped it back out and it went to shape but you could see a kink in the paint, just a heads up
thanks for the advice but she weighted hardly anything and the roof will be one of the strongest parts of the car soon as it will have a sheet of 18mm mdf and a couple of cans of expanding foam holding it lol ( may sound strange and unsafe but when you have seen it done and seen what happens you will understand

this ^ some f*cker ran across my car when I first got it and the sunroof has dropped at that corner cracking the paint and leaving a nasty dint... :/

why the choice of JBL? i found them very thumpy rather than clear bass...
1.2 16v clio
when i first done the build i had a small budget jbl has the only subs that you can buy in a small budget and run stupid power through them all the other subs in their price category will blow up through the stress i put through them
the bass coming from my car is loud and clear when people have had a demo they have been impressed on how it sounds for what they are
Maybe for what they are yeah, I have fli in which aren't anywhere near kicker quality but I found them a lot clearer than jbl at the same power etc, just a lot less thumpy and more quality is all...The orange carbon looks smart imo, just wanted to ask reason fella lol
1.2 16v clio
it could also be the box mate i personally wouldnt touch subs like fli or vibe or kicker
