Adding Bass without adding a sub...?

[Da]

Ok so I have a decent HU and all four door speakers are upgrade to a decent level to get away from the shitty paper ones fitted as standard.
I can't afford to lose boot space but I crave bass! lol! How/where can I add bass staying away from my boot?

alpine swd 1600 goes under your seat £100 online and in some stores

 

[Da]

Sorry should have said, no underseat capacity due to storage tray and CD changer.

Although guess i could lose the tray if needed....

What is an Alpine swd 1600 Matt?

Do you need/have a spare wheel?

 

[Bluebeard]

Dynamat the front doors, fit some focal front components, plug in a hoooooge JL Audio amp et voila.

No, nor do I have a well

Was thinking of an amp actually, is it really worth it on door speakers?

Hell yeah! some decent front components (circa £250) and a high end amp, (again, £250 ish) dynamat the inside of the doors and it will blow you away mate!

I had some focals in my laguna, powered by a PG amp and it used to adjust the rear view mirror it was so powerful!

Ok, cheers for the info guys I shall look into it!

Whats the best way to go when routing power cables/RCAs to the boot in the clio? Is there a hole in the bulkhead for the power cable to use? Is it easy?

Power cable can go through the bonnet release grommet. Search for both of those they've been covered a million times.

Here's an alternative for you - Butt-kickers. I dunno if you've heard of them at all? They're sonic transducers, so instead of sounding loud, you get the same "feel" of base, but without the actual deafening noise (that you tend to get inside cars).

Have a look...

Sweet!

 

[gazbenger]

you can 6x9s made specifically for more bass....just make sure you recover your parcel shelf!

Gemini P69 + Amp = Job done.

A set of mid bass/woofers may do the trick, you can get them in handy 6.5" sizes which should work in the doors with a bit of 'engineering' but sound deadening is going to be a must imo.
you could also try 6x9s if you're willing as they aren't a bad SUBstitute (i thank you) but some decent comps up front will make a world of difference. Whatever you go for definately get it amped its well worth it!

Try:
Comps.

coaxials.
http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/2196.html
Amp.

That should be a reasonable set up imo, unless you have a fair bit of cash to spend

What i did is use dyna mat all round where possible and then have some inphase xt6c's,(now have vibe black hex's) i know the speakers are only 5.25 inch but i had the 6's an changed the door cards very slightly an easily. I do also have uprated tweeters but with all that i do have a small but powerful amp to help put that little extra power to them all.

If your after the bass that does kind of knock a gut gurdling boom through ya belly then yea youll need a sub/amp kit.

 

[Da]

Cheers for all the advice guys

I think dynamat is a must before anything as I can hear the doors vibrate already!

Not into 6x9's at all, don't want anything to look non-OE. Car had 6x9's when I bought it and they were gash! :dead:

 

[fizzy_drink]

I was the same - not willing to lose boot space, but I found myself a nice compact option.


Whack one of these on a reinforced shelf:

Or just build yourself a tiny wee box to go round it. It won't take any room at all!

Or go for one already in a custom slim box for an extra £5:

Good VFM and sound IMO. Keep amp wired into car, only removing/moving the box when required.

Get an amp capable of at least 160 watts RMS @ 4 ohms.
