just got a 350z...best set up for this sub

[Cody Is Cool 10+ year member]

i just got this installed for $510

JVC Arsenal KW-ADV64BT

i didn't get speakers yet i wanted to see how much the SQ improved after just getting a head unit...ended up making quite a big difference. came with bose speakers, which i know isn't anything special, but for now they will do. (suggestions on some decently priced speakers that would be better than the bose stock?)

also i had this in my old car:

Kicker CVR12 COMP 1600W 12-Inch Subwoofers with Sub Box (Pair) (400 watts RMS each) an alpine type r is 500 watts rms if you want to compare it to something

i was thinking about putting just one of those in my car since it's a hatchback and a smaller car, i figured one would suffice. any suggestions on a box or placement of the sub will be appreciated. and i'm thinking ported so i can get that deep/low bass

the best is in the spare tire wheel with the rubber mat over the top of it.

i'd prefer to not take out the spare wheel. i might need it. what about the box that sits under the sway bar? i also saw some that sit in the corner but they might be too big for that being a 12" and i don't wanna rebuy any subs/amp

10's fit under the sway bar, 12's don't. let me get a pic from my buddy who has a 12'' in a 350z

 

[wenn_du_weinst 10+ year member]

here is what he did, single 12'' sealed and even then says to much bass for what he wanted.

edit: and you know you can't fit your fullsize tire in your car after you put the spare on right?

possibly aware, i have 2 places in mind

did not know my full wouldn't fit.....what about the encloser that sits under sway bar and points backwards? no good? that would still give me storage space.

one 12" won't fit under the sway? i thought i've seen eclosures with 2 12 spots in them

 

[wenn_du_weinst 10+ year member]

the 12'' versions actually stick down past your false floor. I think it's exactly 12'' in the middle. you will have to stick it past the strut brace enough to fit a 12'' most of the box will be under the brace but the sub itself won't.

 

[Cody Is Cool 10+ year member]

so the box will just come out a little farther passed the sway...is that a big deal?

misc obviously. rep me *****. also get rid of the cvr's kickers sell them and get something better like dayton references or sundowns depending on what you want

 

[wenn_du_weinst 10+ year member]

there are tons of places to put it. The most beneficial one other then under the carpet is what I posted.

 

[TheUnderFighter 10+ year member]

I'd say sell those and get a good 10" that is pretty efficient and doesn't require a large enclosure. The kickers require extraordinarily large enclosures to perform optimally, and then aren't very good still. And since they're Kickers, you'll have no trouble selling them on craiglist or fleabay.

would this work

Custom Sub Enclosure | Affordable Sub Box

that is an exact picture of what I was explaining before about it going down past your ''floor''
