light weight bass set up.

[HungNeckTight 10+ year member]

i love having subs in my car. but with my set up it weighs a lot and my car is my daily. i mena it might not weigh a lot to some poeples systems in their car's but to me its heavy. i was wondering if its possible to still get good bass out of 6.75 comps or whats a hard hitting light weight set up. it it worth to just build a small box with shallow mount subs.

Fiberglass is your friend. Lightest strongest enclosure and you can mold to trunk corner or center counsol.

Also they make a ultralight MDF, and there is Trupan that you should look into more for a small enclosure. Make sure its the ultralight.

Infinity basslink is a 200watt class D amp a powered 10" and 10" passive radiator, it weighs 22pounds with the amp and enclosure, thats pretty light...

5.25s weigh hardly anything. I have 7 and love them.

Check into subs with a neodymium magnet. They're much lighter. Tang Band makes some really nice 8" subs with neodymium magnets. Check em out!

why are you looking for a cheap amp to pair them with?

inexpensive amp. not cheep. cheep says poorly made crappy amp. i want a amp that will be good with them but will not use up my hole budget.
