Greetings to all,
I am definitely a n00b to car electronics. I do however have a slightly more than basic understanding of normal electronics and I have a question I was hoping could get answered.
I have a 1994 Toyota Corolla with a new Pioneer Stereo and 4 aftermarket Pioneer speakers. My bass, however, isn't quite as deep as I want it. I don't want something that will knock houses off of their foundation I just want a little more depth to my bass because right now mine starts to get the "blow out" sound when I really crank the volume with the bass up. So my plan was to buy some 8" subs that would normally go with some tweeters and mid-range speakers to make a component system, but seeing as how I have full range speakers I was planning on using them to give my system a bass boost. I was going to get http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3835_Kicker+05C84.html and put them in the pre-existing 6X9 holes (that I would modify to 8X9). At first I was only going to get one and then I thought maybe they would be off balance and not sound right. First question - will the audio sound "unbalanced?" Next I don't want to do the whole box in the trunk thing because I have a lot of stuff in my trunk that I would like to keep in there. Second question - will the audio sound terrible without a box? Third question - Can anyone point out any problems/flaws with this plan and how I could correct them?
