What sub + amp do ye use?

Hi folks,

Just wondering what kinda of sub and amp do ye use as i'm looking into getting one just for a nice bit of thump.

I was thinking the Fli sub + amp all in one package as there is a nice sound off of it and it doesn't take up too much space.

Big issue here as ye know is the size of the boot i want it not too take up much space, Thanks

I ripped out my sub and amp and went for a decent set of speakers instead, Matt Harwood fitted Focals and they have superb sound quality and performance for the money and you get to keep what little boot there is, also keeps the weight down

JL Audio 10w3d2 Sub and a JL Audio e1200 Amplifier in a custom enclosure that doesn't take up much space.

Amp is mounted in the side of the car where the standard UK autochanger used to be.

Focal speakers replacing the standard stuff to make sure things sound OK.

2 x 15" ballistic 1500watt rms subz - will give a REALLY NICE thump.

Inifinity 12" SUB in a Locky custom enclosure

That's a good idea. As I've got an aerotop, space is at a premium for a boot build, and if I could do away with the sub altogether, then I'd consider that.

Is it similar in price to do that, or as you're using more speakers/amps etc., more expensive?

I have to say I feel the overall quality is better than a sub and amp set up BUT

I do listen to talksport more than P diddly

I just have standard speakers, which are really good if you ask me (well I think there standard).

mine,

Yeah space is very limited ive 4 6x9,s and an amp under each front seat 6x9,s will fit in your front doors with the other 2 in the rear sounds good and still doesnt use up space in your boot plus keeps the fuel a bit not havin the weight of subs being karted around.

I can totally vouch for those, they sound fabulous, with so much bass and range for small speakers.

I have a Pioneer amp and a JBL 10" sub in a stealth fit boot install. It sounds fine, but as its not been contained in a proper box it vibrates in the boot and can sometimes 'boom', which isn't particularly great.

I bought the car with that though, so I'll sort it eventually, and its handy that all the cables are there already, so just some new components are required.

E1800 D JL audio amp

JL audio 300/2 slasher amp

Phoenix gold wiring

zero gauge cabling

Polk Audio Component setup

Panasonic flip out touch screen dvd setup

and 2 crap Fusion subs lol (will fit jl after xmas)

Riteee keyword here being well a few words "i dont want it to take up too much space in boot"

I could make you one, its a really simple box, but first you need to find some Subs, I was lucky in getting hold of those ones, a friend purchased them from someone on his Mazda 323f club that was based in germany, and I can't seem to find them forsale here, that said, there must be some other 6" subs on the market that will work just as well.

Like I say, I have no problem making you a box, my only concern would be getting it to you.

what are the measurements of the box would it be easier to see if i could find something similiar??

I'll have to measure it for you, I sort of made it up as I went along,

I'll be very surprised if you manage to find a similar box

No idea on the make etc of mine , never payed much attention to it . The previous owner had a full install put in at a cost of almost £2500 apparantly . It does sound amazing though

:taped:Not very helpful actually !

I have a custom box from my silver car which sits in the LHS corner of the boot. It needs a decent 10" sub that works well in a 0.8 tp 1.0cu/ft box. Its a fiberglass MDF mix which a mate and I put a lot of time into. Sub not included lol. It bolts down through the bodywork so as low freqs travel into the chassis for better effect and safety of course.

I dont need it anymore so if you want it, either collect it or pay the postage and its yours. Problem solved

Also I have a fantastic 5ch Soundstream Rubicon 550.5 amp, lots of RMS power and compact etc. As new in the box. This is one of the last proper fully featured amps made by soundstream before they went cheapie mass market. You can run the sub and four co-ax or sub and just fronts active. Offers........

p.s. some other stuff in my garage too what else do you need?

How much for the custom box and amp well i need to get the sub also . i was thinking of getting the fli sub + amp package which costs around £110 but if this works out cheaper ill go for it

The box you can have, otherwise its for the skip as i need the garage space and the big clearout is soon.

This amp is in a different league, cost about £500 new etc, but if your just running a sub i think i have a Phoenix Gold amp which would be perfect, I'll check when i get home. £40would do it. (was about £240 new)

fli combo @ £110 ish is pure crap. dont waste your money.
