subwoofer setups

[AcIdBuRn02ZTS]

well... if you dont have to have a spare tire in that car... ive always liked a spare tire well box... very clean install with plenty of depth for an average woofer and leaves you all of your hatch space... and back seat...

just an idea

Anyone ever heard of Infinity Basslink? It comes with a sub and amp combined.

Yup, CRE had one in his mk3 and my gf has one in her civic. The Basslink 2 provides plenty of bass, is rather compact and economical. It will not fit in the mk3 trunk area and allow room for the targa. It's also nowhere near as tight-sounding as a lot of the nicer subs. But for the price (and if you dont have a targa) it's tough to beat.

I was thinking of picking up one of these rare bad boys. Thoughts?

thats what i ended up with mine til someone offered a good bit of cash for the whole install, now atm i just got a big empty space til i decide what i'm gonna do next.

Wish my setup had a flux-capacitor.... Seriously what is that? Even if it's just your power cables that looks awesome!

 

[Canuckrz]

Its exactly as you guessed minus the fluxing.

My sub setup.. Wood frame and fiberglass enclosure sunken into spare tire well. Sealed box. Sounds VERY clean - I am really happy with it, more so than I thought I would be! (This was in the clean up/reassembly stage so the targa mounts and carpet are not properly put back on yet)

 

[sharpsupra]

do yu like the kicker amp?? D class? ive never had much luck with D class amps....to me the dont hold up well when yu push em hard,,,,maybe just my impression IDK...sweet install tho....

Amps are all about matching their power abilities to your specific speaker application. If you don't know what you are doing its quite easy to buy the wrong wattage output, and therefore have a bad experience.

true ,however i have noticed that class ab amps do have sonic advantages over d class amps...especially when driving subs .....thats what i wanted to say i reakon lol:icon_razz

 

[jdemara]

Ive had that amp for 4 years now, and im hard on it. It powers those subs very nicely. I dont even listen to it at full volume, if i do, it actually hurts peoples ears (including mine, and i like bass!). Lol. Class D is just more efficient, so for subwoofers it is popular because most of the power is actually used to drive the subs, not lost in heat etc...

 

[sharpsupra]

sweet ,i was just curious about the kicker amp...ive had a few d class amps and none impressed me much. i was considering a kicker tho and was just curious.

 

[JL Custom Design]

random question just something my and my mate were considering because ive got a spare set of rear seats from my other supra, we were considering putting them forward facing mounted inside the back seats we're new to messing with subs so its just a curiousity more or less, anyone think it would work? what we've got is a set of JL 10's

 

[Grandavi]

Simple little box.. works nicely because its removable and movable.. and fits under the targa.
Simple.. so I have a simple picture.. if you want a pic of the sides, etc.. let me know.. otherwise.. I think you get the idea.. lol

 

[nctexan]

Lightweight, discrete, and leaves tons of room in the hatch, not to mention enough for the targa w/o any issue.

 

[supra1008]

here is my old setup on my 89, sold a year ago

Talk about excessive!

 

[Backlash2032]

I have an 8 inch slim sub underneath the seat. Very simple and really adds to the sound. Im not a bass junkie i just like balanced sound. On a few songs (No hands comes to mind..) it can NOT hit the bass notes, but for everything I usually listen to its perfect. I have it grounded to the seat mounting point and its a powered sub. Super simple to hook up and takes up essentially no room. One problem is playing bassy songs for an extended period of time. I listened to it at a decent volume for about 2 hours and the amp over heated. Im sure if I would have had the climate control on Bi-Level it wouldn't have overheated though, because there is a vent under the seat.

If I were to do it again, I would get the 10 inch slim and put it next to the spare tire in the hatch area, under the carpet, or ditch the spare tire, and make a custom box for that area. I just hate subs / sub boxes that take up room in the trunk, especially when theres very little with a Supra to begin with.
