GB: Subwoofer for Stock Location - Page 2

baktasht · 03-10-2008, 04:18 PM

Today's shipment arrived 1 hour ago. I'll get as many out as I can today. The rest will go out tomorrow morning.

55mr2 · 03-11-2008, 03:25 PM

Ordered mine today. Now I just need to track down a sub box and a speaker grill cheap. Any offers????

PS Thanks to EMS for putting this together. Just priced out some cheepo Clairion 5 1/4 mid-bass speaker for $99 at a local electronics store so it looks like $24 is an awsome price, even with shipping, for these speakers.

check Aaron over at Lithia? They may not be that expensive for the stock replacements..

Heck ya man... at this price i would buy like 8 sets

Got the speaker today, and got some emsPOWERED.com stickers too! I'll slap them on baktasht, always nice to represent those that deserve.

baktasht · 03-14-2008, 07:32 PM

Those stickers add a good 5hp

wagonis · 03-14-2008, 09:41 PM

I know...that's why I'm putting on BOTH...=10 extra HP!!!!

55mr2 · 03-25-2008, 10:28 AM

Speakers got delivered today. Great service on what looks like a solid product. Hopefully not too solid when it comes to trimming it up to make it fit.

HKSmr2rbo · 03-29-2008, 01:21 AM

whats gonna be the price after march is over?

brianbooth · 02-04-2009, 12:34 PM

Anybody got a review on these? The range seems a little high for subs but you never know how close reality is to the the listed specs

TreyMR2 · 02-04-2009, 02:16 PM

I actually just got one I ordered from another company in yesterday. Its not like a knock the block down sub but it adds a nice decent amount of bass. I have 6 1/2 components in my doors and to 6by9's I made boxes for sitting on the cabnets behind the seats. The sub made it sound a little more well put together. I dought I'll get anymore other than better door speakers and an amp to run them and the 6by9's on. From my experiance, its worth the $30-$40 you pay for it. What kind of music do you listen to? I'm like 98% rock and 2% anything else. Lol You'll probably want a little more if you like rap and all that stuff but for rock its just about perfect.

brianbooth · 02-04-2009, 06:12 PM

I'm a rock kind of guy too but my love for Tool requires some semi-decent bass. Honestly, the stock subs on my 94 aren't that bad but they get some distortion in a couple songs where the bass hits those low octaves.

TreyMR2 · 02-04-2009, 07:35 PM

IMO for $30 and all you gotta do is trim it and bolt it in, its a great buy. The fact that I didn't have to do any wiring and you can't even tell its there is a plus. I never heard the stock one cause mine was blown when I got it but I would assume by the looks of it that it wasn't as hard hitting as this one. I'd give it a shot and if you still want more you can always add to it or resell it. Like I said though, for me its pretty much perfect, it even does do ok on some rap and harder hitting rock songs. Heres a pic of my set up. With them and that sub it can do just about any type of music and sound pretty decent.

brianbooth · 02-04-2009, 08:16 PM

You talked me into it

For the price, it's hard to go too wrong and with the T-Tops, I'm loathe to build something bigger like you've got. Thanks for the input.

Brian

TreyMR2 · 02-05-2009, 01:31 AM

Lol cool let me know your thoughts on it. Also what kind of radio do you have? I have a pioneer and I did have to mess with my settings a tad to get the right sound.

brianbooth · 02-05-2009, 01:01 PM

Stock radio actually. It still sounds pretty good but it has trouble skipping tracks if you don't run a cleaning CD through it every month or two and even then, it's a big finicky. If it'd just get a little worse then I'd have the motivation to replace it

TreyMR2 · 02-05-2009, 01:57 PM

Lol oh, I don't even do cd's anymore in my 2. The roads down here are crap and they skip like ever mile if your in an older or lowered car. I just leave my ipod hooked up to mine. 750+ songs whenever you want them is nice. Lol

brianbooth · 02-05-2009, 04:59 PM

That'd be nice. The roads around here aren't exactly pristine either and mine's lowered a bit so it can be real rough. I'd love it if I could get a stereo with a USB connection so I can just plug a flash drive full of songs into it without having to keep track of an ipod.

TreyMR2 · 02-05-2009, 05:07 PM

thats what I have. Its a Pioneer Premier DEH-P400UB. I just leave my ipod in the glove box and control it all with the radio

brianbooth · 02-05-2009, 07:08 PM

Would that work with a regular flash drive or does it have to be an ipod that's connected to it?
