Bass without a sub or 6x9s

[willow84]

I can gues what people will say, but i dont want a sub in the boot or 6x9s. I want to keep standard head unit and upgrade the speakers. Any ideas for standard size speakers that will give abit of bass. Not after window shattering bass, just sumthin.

Underseat sub is probably the best way. Although they are a bit meh, will do if you aren't willing to give up any room at all.

wouldnt be able to run a seperate sub of the standard head unit tho would I? Iv got subs and amps in the garage, just didnt wana lose space or lose the standard look.

Just fit a nice set of components and amp them?

 

[willow84]

can i run an amp off the standard head unit??

 

[Dink]

yes you can

either an amp with hi level input or a hi level to rca adaptor (neither are very good and not helped by the head unit)

What do you think of these, look like they would give the bit of base im after.

i'd say no tbh

i'd say 2 sets of components just dont connect the tweeters on the rears (so act more like mid bass speakers)

Don't run co axials if your after bass will give far too much treble, as said above get some decent components and don't connect the tweeters, I'm getting some fli components, cheap And sound great for the price http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=370390571004&index=21&nav=SEARCH&nid=27117112018

Best sort of speakers for the clio, IMO, is the Focal Access speakers, sound great just off the head unit, when amp'd sound one hell of alot louder and bass'ier.

Im currently in the process of upgrading the rear speakers to the 6.5" and will be doing the fronts also with an MDF baffle ring. If you get a new'ish headunit, you can set the filters up and gain a little more bass that way aswell.

Also on the note of InPhase equipment, the amps they do are very good, the whole range of speakers are not. If you can, get the DB Audio speakers.
DB Audio and InPhase are basically the same company, DB Audio is more on the american side of build quality and size tho where IPA is made in the UK, in Nottingham so i am told.
