TurboRex90 · 06-29-2009, 03:47 AM

Lolz, sound system.

My turbo is my sound system.

Taco15 · 06-29-2009, 08:29 AM

to all those power inverted home theatre sub having peeps.....

your crazy

whatever works though. I cant wait to get my box built in my pickup. I cleaned it up Sat. I havent cleaned it in months so now it seems like a new vehicle to me. actually not ashamed to drive it.

now i really need some bump back there.

awptickes · 06-29-2009, 10:03 AM

8" sub in a bandpass.
6.5" Kenwood components in the front doors
6x9" kenwood 3-ways in the rear
1200W kenwood subwoofer amp.
Kenwood kdv-something head unit, usb iPod connection, audio delay features, etc.

Oh yeah, and a high-revving d14 engine with 2.5" exhaust.

CAFROG · 06-29-2009, 10:56 AM

I just like the thought of a self contained bass system (like bazooka) and these home theater subs are mostly self powered (cheap radio shack converter gets it done)

AS we all know....hatches don't have a lot of space for mounting amps. I would like to get rid of my 6X9's (and amp) and do it old school with the bottom of my back seat removed and lay the top of the seat down. Get the rear speaker grills, hardware and put some 5-1/4 in there. I want it bare and clean but can't really do much if I need two amps installed somewhere. I can hide an inverter. the sub has the power supply plug and a set of rca's that need to be ran (some are just one rca) It would clean up the back and all you would see is the ambiguous box in the back (or pull a few plugs and it comes out)

awptickes · 06-29-2009, 11:03 AM

In my civic, I have said amp mounted under the rear trunk carpet, in the spare tire. The wire snakes up, and connects to the tiny little 8" bandpass sub. If needed, I can unhook the bandpass, put insulators on the wires, and put the box behind the driver's seat and fold the back down to haul big/long stuff.

Now with the fit, I doubt I'll need to haul stuff in the civic anymore.

CAFROG · 06-29-2009, 11:06 AM

I'm skerd to take the spare out lol

TurboMirage · 06-29-2009, 11:06 AM

for the cost of a home theatre system, you can get a used inifinity basslink.

No, the spare is in there too. It's illegal to roll around without a spare in Germany.

I'm guessing this is a car audio sub?

I wasn't going to buy a whole system....just search for someone who upgraded their
system and has an extra self powered sub they dont need (lots of $mid-range$ home
theaters come with an 8" sub (I just finished researching for my home theater in Feb)

I have a Polk 10" sub and its too much bass so I turned it way down. An 8" will do this
old man right lol

TurboMirage · 06-29-2009, 11:43 AM

look at my image post on the 1st page.

hatches have alot of space. amps mounted on the back seats are the best. My buddy had a fiberglass box with four 8's and had 2 amps and a battery in back. he had room...

. I'll try to take a pic when i can.

my amp is in a retarded spot for anyone that carries passengers around a lot...but i don't, and it's easily hidden with one of those extra rear passenger floor mats i don't need in mah rex.

i was daydreaming once upon a time about putting it in the bench area, but i couldn't see defacing primo CRX interior bits.

I bought my powered sub by itself, since at the time I just needed to supplement an existing setup.
So that's 150
add 40 for the inverter
RCA's maybe 5 bucks
Head unit add 180

So I spent around... $375 all together on my setup. Most decent home theatres systems are a lil under that and go higher than that. Plus this speaker I got is more like the subs you would get with a $500 system.

Yes...the back has room but I really want to lay the back seats down (with bottom seat
gone) and not have an amp being so visible (to detour tweaker thieves). I figure a
bazooka or the home theater sub would be pretty inconspicuous, self powered and
easily removed (to get that extra 1/100 shaved off the 1/4mile times lol)

cjvictoria · 06-29-2009, 04:08 PM

well if your hatch is anything like the one oi had (1984 dx) then i would just pull out the rear interior panel on one side and mount the amp in the "wall" of the car... that would be super stealth. I thought about it with mine, but never got around to seeing if it would work.

CAFROG · 06-29-2009, 04:13 PM

hmmm....there might be some mounting points in there.....and would be stealth
but also hot hot hot...so a fan too

cjvictoria · 06-29-2009, 04:19 PM

yeah thats a good idea... maybe you could even cut a vent with a fan, like the side of some computers have.

or better yet, two vents and you'll be set. one intake and one exhaust

CAFROG · 06-29-2009, 04:23 PM

I would just mount a radio shack fan...or two next to the amp and let it go wherever it evacuates.
Don't wanna mess up my Si interior (silly but true)

cjvictoria · 06-29-2009, 04:50 PM

lol i hear ya that stuff is hard to come by in some areas... plus since its si its black right? yeah fuck that..

K2e2vin · 06-29-2009, 05:19 PM

Mine is still a work-in-progress, a 3-way active setup:

-JVC SHX850 HU
-CDT ES-01 tweeters running straight off the HU
-Peerless HDS Exclusive 5.5" in the doors
-Peerless SLS6 in the rear pods; SLS8 if I decide to redesign the rear pod
-MB Quart DSC4125 amp powering the Peerless drivers; considering using the amp just for the mids and tweets and a separate amp for the rear mid-bass
*if needed, I have a JL12W0 on hand but need a separate amp for it.

I'm also debating on getting a equalizer; Soundstream PQ-7...but don't know if it'll need it yet.

I am going to look into a powered 8" home theater one...or a bazooka power car sub

Right. On the back of the box it says 50w rme each and my deck is giving it 50w max each. My tail lights are out right now so it sounds had but I'll still make a video.

cjvictoria · 06-29-2009, 06:46 PM

I love my neon's solidness. I can turn my shit on full blast and it doesnt even make the trunk rattle. I mean not even outside... It should but it doesn't. It's amazing really...

OGMatt · 06-29-2009, 09:21 PM

Got an 89 crx si with pioneer deck pioneer 3 way front speakers and mtx 3 way rears. Alpine amp( 400w rms) and a massive rw 12 sub in a 50hz box.
