I want low bass. Extremely low bass with huge subwoofers that have so much travel that they will sound like you're standing under a helicopter when I play them.
I have a compact car with a small trunk (1993 Volkswagen Fox [4-door])
First Question.
I want my bass to be low and loud, would I be better off having a box custom built for my trunk and just drop subwoofers in my trunk?
Or..
Could I take my backseat out, and set the two 15" or 18" subwoofers where the back seat used to be, facing them in and building the trunk INTO a massive box for them?
Also, if I went that route, ported or sealed? I have always preferred sealed because it sounds so much cleaner and is more boomy.
Second Question.
Which subwoofers to get?
I have been looking at Soundstream's XXX series
XXX-Subwoofer
Either the 15" or the 18"
I have always had a mad crush on Soundstream and they talk about quad voice coils on these monsters. Plus Fs (hz) 22.29 that gets me excited!
I have also been checking out Orion's HCCA series
Orion® Car Audio - HCCA154 - HCCA
They only make 15" versions of these, but all the Orions I have seen have enormous rubber surrounds and Sensitivity 30 dB = retarded lows if I'm not mistaken.
And the magnet is as wide as the f*cking cone is!
