mr2stealth · 02-17-2009, 02:32 PM

i was thinking of that but a friend has one and its remarkably hard to sit in the passanger seat cuz its too upright unless his sub box is 2 big lol

fvillota · 02-17-2009, 02:42 PM

nice!

mr2stealth · 02-17-2009, 02:44 PM

So my whole system was about $200, and it sounds like a system that costs like $1500! haha...i love my electronics hahaha

fvillota · 02-17-2009, 03:16 PM

really?
thats what i want but cant find

mr2stealth · 02-17-2009, 03:17 PM

Well there are a bunch of places for car audio in texas, but im not so sure about where you live. Just try looking on craigslist, and call places that are in the phone book.

mr2stealth · 02-17-2009, 03:20 PM

My whole system consists of, Pioneer head unit(brand new), 500k Farad Capacitor, 560w Jvc amp, 10" 1000w maxx Crunch Ground Pounder sub, Thick power wires, Memphis audio door speakers...It works really well together surprisingly..

TreyMR2 · 02-17-2009, 03:59 PM

How loud's your mid's and high's? I thought about a sub but with just 2 door speakers and the little tiny ones in the back stock I was afraid of it just sounding like a ton of bass and nothing else.

There is MASSIVE mark up in car audio

Especially with certain sub boxes, and high end brands, and if you go to a shop like futureshop, where the guys are making commission they are making massive commissions on stuff like infinity or the other high end stuff.

To the OP, if i were you i'd go to a dedicated car audio shop and ask them about what works, lots of times they've done stuff like that so they can help you out big time.

Also watch out for which speaker you get if you're getting those thin subs, because some of them really suck, the last time i listened to one in a demo room, it was a pioneer one and it just couldn't handle the big bass and sounded like 5hit.

You can always adjust the bass, so i don't see how that would be a problem

I have 2 on 950W RMS (and I'm not talking about that overrated junk like Lanzar, Pyramid, Boss, etc.) kinda loud, but the SQ is amazing.

mr2stealth · 02-17-2009, 08:54 PM

My system is pretty loud, there is a LOT of bass, but I can still hear the song pretty good. Also I think my mr2 has dynomat or somethin, I cant hear the bass outside of the cockpit haha, but when you get inside you cant hear anything outside haha

it's the car design, hardly any sound gets out. it's common with small cars/trucks

killermillermr2 · 02-17-2009, 10:05 PM

To the OP. If you are going to put a sub between the seats, you can only realy fit an 8" sub. 10" would technicaly fit between the seats, but would leave no room for box.
I have built the box you are talking about

ebouwman · 02-17-2009, 10:18 PM

I want to put in some 6x9's like that^ if you do that it's not necessary to have a sealed box, or really any nice materials is it?

killermillermr2 · 02-17-2009, 11:29 PM

you should probably use a sealed box with the 6x9's. What little bass there is will sound much better. Those boxes are made with 1/2 MDF and have stuffing on the inside walls. like you would find in a pillow.
