_Shane_ Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 one nice sub / amp setup for a bit of bass in a supra imo, im happy these days with just a good set of components up front like the focal k2p range If you want bass build an spl car but 6 subs in rear of a supra is just stupid in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassan Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 If i was you i would only use 1 15" alpine type r u have. With the 1 amp to power it and one amp to power the front end. Not only to you need huge amounts of airspace to run one 15" sub let alone the six you have. Plus how are you going to wire them up? You would need one big powerfull amp to power 6 subs and then also deal with ohms law? And a huge amp means more batteries more heavy gauge wires, split charge setup and a bigger alternator. Have you thought it through? Speak to a high end car audio shop and get some advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightsix Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Jeez....it looks like a display cabinet at Halfords.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creative Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Jeeez.... Maybe he just wants it to look crazy! Who cares if the boxes arent the right size to get maximum from them. I did the same with the ute... I was told the same and they were right.. The boxes are too small for the subs... But the way its set up absolutley kicks! Much louder than i can listen too it! My 2 x 15s behind the seats... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naybad Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Good Luck m8 I thought I was bad trying to get a 12" in the boot with enough room for amps and the rest of the stuff.

Going to be using a fleas and resin to make it and sectioning each sub off Nos bottle has had to be moved to in between the back seats Nothing wrong with that rob you love your engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Those subs are going to be stupid close to the window. I'd make sure you don't give it the bass beans unless the boot is open I'm presuming you are going to use MDF to section off the subs? I wouldn't trust fibre glass by itself with all the bass that will produce. Like rob, I'm not a fan of the extravagant ice builds, but fully respect the work that goes into them. I much prefer something subtle, like my twin 10" subs sunk into the floor of the boot. Looking good mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I love a good ICE install. IMO, a good quality sound system makes a car. I couldn't have a car without 1. Keep up the good work bro. Bit of a tip for you when you skin the install. Use a furry picnic blanket and stretch it over your frame. Use spray glue to stick it down but leave it a little saggy. Then lash loads of fibreglass resin all over it. After that start applying layers of fibreglass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fibre glass install is something I want to do at some point, but need the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fibre glass install is something I want to do at some point, but need the time. If its tight then when you pile on the fibreglass it's going to distort the shape. If you sag it a little you can build up the shape with the fibreglass. Ideally for a good dense sound you want about 10mm thick of fibreglass..
