Another rockford install dude they are pretty tasty systems....


Not sure why some posts are duplicating

[LardySBC]

not much rockford in mine, just the processor.

Old school rockford was good gear, these days its sh1te. Same with sony also, and so many brands..........

I was wondering, there are alot of you out there who have installed 6x9's under the seats, i've got mine installed in the parcel shelf.
I was thinking about installing a piar of 8" Vibe subs under the seats instead, and the just angle the plate to mount under the seat so they'll be able to fit in there. Another plus with the slight angle on the subs is that it will play right into the back of the seats.

Have anyone tried that?

I have a currently installed this in my car
- Clarion DXZ668RMP headunit
- Vibe black hex 5" in the front
- Vibe black hex 9 (6x9's) in the parcel shelf

But im sorta missing some base. I have also considered the Blackbox II amp from Vibe.

If I had the money I would want 8" sub(s) under the rear seat. Probably be the vibe exact 8. Get some pics of installs people

[Frede24]

The 5's are in the ventholes. Which I have regretted alot, since its preeettey hot at the moment.
I'll see if i can borrow a digi cam.

But you'll recon that i'll get decent bass from those 8" subs?

[jif2006]

Sweet............

Sorry yeah I think if you were to install the subs under the rear seats :

A. it would not haev the correct amount of bass
B.Non free air subs need to be in an MDF enclosure
C. possibility of rattling from the seat - (sound dedening)

What you fellow TMF members think ?

Subs under rear seats sound cool - you would need to be pretty handy with fiber glass and the only way it will fit is with the bafffle slanted and therefore lose passenger foot space.
You would get plenty of bass though as there's enough space under the seats id say, just a case of fiberglassing an enclosure in there. Would sound louder and less directional aswell probably.
Two 8" subs is more surface area than one 12" sub (or pretty similar) off the top of my head so gonna get plenty of bass. Even one would produce more than a pair 6x9's.

Hmm, this thread is geting interesting, i am now considering changing my 6x9s under the rear seats for 8" subs, what ones are the best to get then???

[Gooderz]

Whats your budget? Do you want one or two? How good at bodging stuff are you? How much power have you got?

[jif2006]

Basically just look for a 8" sub that has good coils and big magnet plus high RMS value plus go for a branded make...

Have a butchers at the square 8" Kicker L5 2 Ohm looks tasty plus mite have a better fit for you lot who want to do the under rear seat sub conversions etc.

If you are looking for smal subs, a set to look very closely at are the Genesis 6x9 subs. Awesome kit for no money £150 a pair.

They'll need to be well and truely sealed in, and be in a shared chambre, as they realy need about 15L each, but you can kinda cheat by using a shared volume and wadding. A little more power would be good also.

My current system is errr, nothing, its all gone as i've had a radical re-think with bluey and ditched all the ice in favour of a lighter and faster mini

I never really got enough use out of the system which is a great shame really so have ditched it and am slowly transfering it all to the daily hack.

The system i did have consited of

Pioneer 7700mp headunit

2 channel kenwood amp

mono kenwood amp

6.5" kicker components

12" kicker sub mounted free-air in boot

PS2

7" widescreen monitor

Here's a couple of pics of how it used to look

[Volf]

At the moment :

Philips - DAP300 MKII Power Amp - 2/1
Powering a 12" Infinterty in boot (Or rear seats)

In planing :

Twin 18" Rear seat install.

Working on :

15" Ported rear seat box.
