still need my boot space!

[Mikefb]

hi there i am wanting to get an amp and sub but as im a student i still need to keep my boot space for traveling, also with me being a student i dont have alot of cash to spend!!

please help

 

[Rorrie]

im in the same position, i am thinking of the genesis subs that are in the shape of 6*9 (not normal 6*9s no) and they can work in infinate baffle, so in the parcel shelf, but will be better with enclusures under the shelf. Also JL do 6" subs, so look at the section about fitting 6" mids in the rear quater pannels, these porb wont be as good as the genesis ones as surface area and as far as i know they are sold signularly(the JLS that is)

As for the amp, if you car is 5door under the passenger fornt seat, if not you have many options for monting in the boot, eg, screw to the back of the back seats, false floor, in the dip for the spare whell (but that means you have to do away with the wheel!) i built a amp box

[wado]

You could get the infinity Basslink X or whatever its called,

Continuously variable electronic low pass filter. Variable input sensitivity. Accepts up to 4 channels of input. Mount vertically or horizontally"

[Mikefb]

that looks like it would work!

where would i get 1 of those n how much would it set me back?

 

[Bryan]

any ICE dealer will be able to get hold of one for you

should cost around £150

 

[captain_clio]

wheres the section about fitting mids in rear quarter panels??

what are views upon installing a 6" mid from a component set without the tweeter wired up, so just the mid in the rear? instead of a 6" sub

 

[Rorrie]

the section is a thread in this section, dont know if it has been pushed into the 2nd page but it was there when i posted it,

dont know, suppose it would work, but i dont think it would subsitute a sub as it is a mid, but would be better than nothing i suppose!

 

[captain_clio]

so kinda bassy then, for what it is

 

[Tom]

vibe boxes are ok too

some nice jbl and bazzoka amp enclosures starting from £100

 

[papa?]

I had the same problem in my pug - so I built a parcel shelf out of MDF on to which I bolted 4x 200w 6x9s and a 4x50w amp, that coupled with a Graphic Equaliser that also has 4x50w and the Head unit made for a v nice little setup... it was cheap too...

4x50w amp from Maplins - £20

Equaliser from Longmill - £25

MDF - Carpet and a bit of hard graft...

This was a couple of years ago - but it was good at the time...

 

[captain_clio]

how will just mids sound in the rear??

or how will just 6" subs in the rear sound?

which would be the best option out of them 2?

 

[Bryan]

6" subs all the time

 

[Tom]

or better stil 5.25inch subs

 

[captain_clio]

5.25 subs, lol, is there such thing? and sureley 62 would be better cos theyre bigger

 

[Tom]

lol you fitting them?

 

[captain_clio]

possibly, if not, ill take it my local ICE fitters. so they can get the 6" to fit if i cant.

do they make 5.25 subs? lol

 

[Bryan]

me and tom both looked into doing this

could take a bit of work, but will be worth it

 

[captain_clio]

u definateley gotta make enclosures for em?

 

[Tom]

yep i would love to go through with you how to do it but i hate typing

 

[captain_clio]

go on, gimme some help.

however, ive been told i just have to use loadsa sound deadening. ??

 

[Tom]

you could do i suppose but i would sound not as good you need to fibre a back onto the plastic panel

 

[captain_clio]

sounds simple, how do u fibre it on? and what do u use as the backing? this sounds fun.

doo tell more if u can...
