parents wont let me have a sub

[ChrisC 10+ year member]

So i have a problem, im gonna cry if i dont get that sexy bass sound, but im not "allowed to get subs" because my parents are ******s. All i can do is just get speakers and amps. I already have an Alpine CDE-9843 headunit. Can you guys give me some recommendations on some speakers that will get me the "closest to a subwoofer" sound?? I drive an Acura Integra hatchback. i have 2 speakers up front and 2 in the backseat

Does your integra fit 6x9" in the back of 6.5"?

There are a few 6.5" and 6x9" subwoofers out there that may work well in IB. That as close as you can get to a subwoofer.

They are rare but look for Coustic Basspump enclosures. Squeak had some but they are vanished

well, kinda hard to reproduce subs...You might try these, they work on the theory that sub bass is felt more than heard. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=299-027 Other than that a nother good possibility is to make a really good midbass setup and that might work also.

actually im 17 but my parents are still really gay, they arent even paying for the stuff, i pay with money i earn from working as a cashier at best buy. and im not sure if my car would fit 6x9's right now i have 6.5's in the back, but it looks like it can hold more. but if i put 2 6.5 subs in the back, do you think it would drown out the treble and mid ?? since i only have 2 speakers in the front?

yeah for 6.5" wiht good bass output look into the extremis' or the cheaper Elemental Designs EU-700 . The onyl thing the extremis is more of a mid that will go super low and loud where Anything I read about the EU-700 it is just a midbass woofer.

for a 6x9, parts express has some tangbang subs to fit 6x9 wiht the same surface area as an 8" sub.

oh and get your own car kid

so do i go with a 6.5 mid bass speaker or a 6.5 sub? Oh and do those 6.5 subs need a box? or can i just install them into my 6.5 slot in my car

 

[DiamondFanatic 10+ year member]

Did you ask them if you can get a bass driver? Perhaps if you don't call it a subwoofer they won't be predjudice against it. Oh, and I would just buy one anyway if it was me personally. Especially if you work at best buy.

your mad that they arent paying for the stuff when you have a job? If you didnt pay for the car then its not your car. But seriously getting bass is expensive. If you work at bestbuy cant you get a discount? mabye type R comps and alpine amp. then do a pioneer deck or somewhat for all half off? i dont know how it works. but seriously man, earn your stuff its a lot more satisfying.

im mad at my parents because they wont let me buy things with my own money. i would understand if htey wont buy a sub if it was their money, but its MY money and i want to spend it the way i want to.

basically im not allowed to have anything in a box in my trunk, so im trying to find a solution to get sexy bass without that. dammit im sad. oh and waht is a bass driver?

I think the reason why parents are not too fond of subwoofers because they dont want their kids to be cranking up the music at 2AM in the morning annoying neighbors and potentially getting the police on their butts.

With that being said, a pair of 6.5" subwoofers would work well in the integra (since the sub will be in a small cabin). Looks like any other 6.5" mid (a bit beefier though), but it's not like your parents are going to look at the T/S parameters and say "hrm..this thing has an FS of 25hz. Nope! Not allowable!"
