What would you do if you couldn't have a sub in the trunk?

[azngurlbaybee 10+ year member]

Alright...so pretend you have a car with a tiny trunk so you have no space for a sub at all...maybe an amp and some crossovers but not much more

Inside isn't much better but there's a spot for a 6.5" in the door and there's enough leg room to put a kick panel...and enough space on the A-pillar for tweeters if need be...

Oh yeah...let's say for the speakers and amps and electronic crossover, you have a budget of $1000...

Oh...and let's say you still care about bass...

There are some nice subs like the RE8's that have been proven to get loud and are very little, just a thought, do a search. What truck do you have?

that a mr-2 spyder? a friend of mine has a yellow one. behind each seat in a storage bin there is a good amount of room or you could put some under the hood...

 

[azngurlbaybee 10+ year member]

Yeah...it sure is...also, I do sorta have a sub already but when the top's down, all the bass is just blowin' in the wind //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

How are you you with building boxes? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Make this, stick a Focal 5WS in it, and bolt it behind your seat //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Came back from holidays already?

Look into flat subs...

Alto falstaff, phase linear Aliante, Bose...

They WILL fit the space behind your seats, even a pair of them.

she has a very good amount of space behind the seats (enough to hold a 24 pack in each and have more room) i have never seen under the hood though. have you already bought one or what?

Yeah, but that's the only storage space though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
I still gotta take this car to work, school, and the grocery store

How much room do you have under the seats? What about...center console? In the floor?

Focal 5WS in that box vs. Shiva in a 1.0 cu ft sealed box in your trunk:

I've had the chane to hear the 5" midbass drivers..although the rep. got so worked up on the fact that I called it that instead of a woofer. They stick to calling it a woofer. It's not bad, you should at least give it a go before you put it down. Try going to some home audio shows where Focal/JM labs are participating in, and you'll see what I mean. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Seriously? Would it actually be worth it to do this in a car?
