Hi guys

Has anyone in the club done this

I was thinking of doing the same but dont know what type sub to go for. What are the best brands/makes and does anyone have any personal experience with a particular sub? Also would need an AMP recommendation aswell as I only have 6 speaker system.

To do this, does the sub have to be put in a box or is it just screwed to the back seats? I am thinking the latter because of those bars that run umderneath the back shelf, would get in way of box???

Help me out here please :)

And yes I did use the search facility!

i think that's what the majority of people have done who have installed a sub into an IS (myself included)

screwing it to the seat is a very bad idea!

Has anyone motorised the arm rest so you can flick a switch and it lowers itself to reveal the sub. Would look very smart, but I don't know what to use for the motor.

GALLA 4 you should buy my diamond audio amp and get some components!

Have a word with Mr Singh and he'll advise you on some RE gear.

The sub will almost certianly need to be mounted in a box. A sub that doesn't require a box is referred to as 'infinite baffle' - these are not very common these days.

A sub mounted in a box can take more power, is easier to control and is more efficient - in other words "will be louder and sound better.

The key to great bass is isolating the air infront of the sub from the air behind it, this is easier if it's in a box (obviously this rule goes out the window with ported boxes - but I'll not get in to that)

If the amp is just to run the sub then I'd recommend getting a class D amp.

One of the better value amps around is the Alpine MRPM350 - giving 350RMS - £115

The RES-RE10V2 10" sub from RE would be a good sub to complement that amp - £95

Guys

Could I get a 12" Woofer in there? I think the pic I posted there at the top is a 12" one.

Guys I saw these two deals below. They both have same 12" Woofer, but one is 500W and other is 800W. Which should I go with? Would 800W blow me out of it?

Option 1

Option 2

silly question but have you changed your head unit yet, as the standard unit is incompatable with extra amps

Ur joking me!

[TheDon]

even with that tutorial that shows you how to take a feed from the internal amp you wont be able to run the subs effectively.

i had the conversion and it never worked

What? didn't work at all?

I thought the 6 speaker system didm't have an external amp any way, so this woulldn't have been an option for GALLA

2 Words...

Stay away from Audiobahn, and SONY!!!!!!! Sony Xplod range is just about the biggest pile of SH!T car audio world has seen since Funky Pups... yet every chav and his brother has them in his boot with 10 sets of 6x9s!!!

Fire the sub through the ski hatch is a good move.

If you want even more output, port the sub and fire through the rear deck. I shall be doing this in my Altezza... coming from a 160dB SPL Car i'm maxing any output i can... Saloon cars aren't easy!

Don't fall for that either, 500w or 800w... you could put 20000000000w and still be worse off if its PMPO. You should look for RMS power.

Power rating means nothing aswell.
