If you have completely stripped out the car, why not making some panels where the rear doorcards used to be and put some 6X9" there.

No as that would just add weight, i have still standard door speakers and thats it :)
 
  AGH the sl*g
I just fitted some decent alpine speakers in the front doors and thats more than ample.

people strip cars to save weight!
and to make them more into track cars,

adding a sub goes against everything these people believe in,
so i seriously doubt it!

I have icicles on my roof, otherwise I cant help sorry.

LOL.

On a serious note, people who strip cars won't have any subs in the back as it's completley pointless in what they're trying to achieve!

okay the decent door speakers in fronts ok but surely if i amped these would i be able to notice a massive differance in volume etc of waste of money and time?

you wont notice barely any difference dude,

i used to have all the speakers in my car amped,

now ive got a stripped out valver, i run them off the headunit,
complete waste of time amping door speakers unless youre a rear audiophile,

cheers mate look like ive got the hard option stick to low volume music o well who needs it lol

you cant have it all dude,
stripped out car, and pumping tunes. lol.

i still crank my stereo, good headunit and good speakers will mean they can still go just as loud as when amped,

or just bracket a sub to the floor, cant imagine it will sound very good with no interior though!

Amping your door speakers will make a huge difference!!! They just have to be fitted and sealed properly.

You can't possibly argue that having four times the rms power wont make a difference.

Good quality, amped and well fitted door speakers is all you need.

it depends completely on the speakers,
if the RMS on the speakers is high, then an amp would make a difference,

if the RMS of the speakers is similar to that of the headunit, then its really not gonig to make a large amount of difference.
but yes, using dynamatt to seal the doors and such might help,

if you really car that much about the music, leave the interior in!

What aftermarket speakers would you buy that wanted 20w rms???? Averagely, they're 50-100 rms and therefore vastly underpowered when running off the head unit.

If you want bass from front speakers, they have to be well sealed, this is where the biggest gains can be had.

10% equipment, 90% installation.

run it under the trim? or get a passive sub (withou built in amp) have amp under your seat and then you only need to run two wired to your sub, or get an under seat sub?
