Tired of my subwoofer?

[Sparky]

Right, I am sick of having this bloody subwoofer in my boot. Now I like dubstep (Haters hate elsewhere) and other bass-y music and was wondering if I have any relatively cheapish alternatives? - thanks in advance

Yep, Unplug it, Cost £0

It's that simple.

Try one of the small under seat subs.

Mine got broken into and stolen - problem solved.

You could get an under-seat sub and a decent set of components to retain some sound quality.

 

[scaredpassenger]

tell you what as I'm new here.... I'll take it off your hands for you!! lol

of course you'll have to rent some of my boot space for me to 'store' it..... but I'm sure we can come to some arrangement!! lol

 

[Sparky]

Lol @ ScaredPassenger, @Will - they seem expensive though, are there any door speakers that are particularly good, or are 6x9s bassy?

 

[jesus]

I paid £100 for my under-seat sub (or thereabouts).

Underseat sub.
Decent set of amped components in the front. (Properly installed with MDF speaker rings)
Dare I say it 6x9's will give you bass.

 

[scaredpassenger]

6 x 9's will obviously free your boot up but you will have high frequencies all over the shop and dare I say it might sound a bit gash!! though you can get bass only 6 x 9's (or you used to be able to!) so they might be ok!?

I got myself one of these when I got sick of only having half a boot. It's only tiny and takes up a small corner and still has one hell of a punch.

 

[scaredpassenger]

im considering an under seat sub at the mo as me wife dont want a sub cluttering up her shopping space?!! lol

 

[Sparky]

What are component speakers? + the mdf rings I have seen them done, are they diy and what is the benefit? - sorry I'm not an audio man, cheers

 

[scaredpassenger]

components are mid bass and tweeters seperately as a package normally with a crossover to separate the frequencies, you can buy ready made mdf rings on ebay in most widths and depths, but then you dont get to feel like a mans man with ya jigsaw and loads of sawdust all over your lounge floor!!

So are comonents a good middle ground for not having a boot full of wood and a silly looking speaker?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150733846058?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 speaker rings for 16.5 / 17cm speakers

these were in my watch list but then i went out and brought the mdf from B&Q instead, always nice to have some spare wood....... so my wife tells me!!

not really a comparable sound as a sub is a massive driver compared to most components commonly available, a sub will drive far more air at much lower frequencies than a component speaker is likely to ever drive, so basically if your looking for a system that will get the birds quivering, use a sub, if you want to just enjoy some good quality tunes without a sub, get some components, JL do some wicked sets as do Focal and Rainbow, there are plenty out there but all the decent components will require amping to get the best out of them! so you will more than likely still end up with an amp in ya boot!!

On my headunit I can switch my sub off which is a life saver sometimes because sometimes I want to drive off a clif when is on lol
