All depends on the equipment my friend...there are only a few ways to accurately measure distortion...pulling a number out of your *** is not one of them...

 

Look up "post hoc," it happens to be one of the most commonly used logical fallacies.

 

This is my first sub and amp. Never realized how much work the installation would be, but its done and I'm happy. Came out ok. It's a Infinity 12" ref1250w sub and a Infinity ref7541a amp.

 

^ looks great:





Many more pics in this link: http://s178.photobucket.com/albums/w...os14us/VW1200/

 

^^^^Nice looking box.

I'd make a comment about how often you change your subs, but after once, its just not funny anymore

 

you mean like after a dozen times?



my trunk might be updated some day

 

This one may stay.

 

We all heard that before...

 

i'll give parag another month before he switches sub.

oh, and clean install whattingh, looks like a 3rd gen?

 

Bets taken.

 

^ i was referring to the guy with the infinity sub

the trunk/back seat looks like a 3rd gen max.

 

Fixed, lol

 

Thx man. It is a 3rd gen yes.

 

Nice setups guys i forgot to post a finished pic of my floating amp here it is.
Oh and i also had one question, do you guys think i need a cap for my setup its a 1200watt amp?

 

Nice setup - clean.

No, you don't need a cap.

 

I prefer JL Audio subs.

I got 2 12 w1 v2's they are great. I'm not in for the whole lets see who can blow my trunk off. If you want best quality bass & a good bump. JL all the way in my opinion.

Nice pictures guys.

 

you have much to learn then. there are plenty of other companies for less $$$ that outperform JL in every category

 

kinda funny how his name is Tim too

 

So where's the pics? The thread title is SHOW US WHATS IN YOUR TRUNK.

 

Reminds me........ I need to post a picture of my JL sub

 

YES! And a review

 

That is EXACTLY the kind of setup I want. How can you put subs in the rear deck? I have a 96' Max if that makes any difference. Do I need a particular kind of subs?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Just build a baffle and mount'em up. Use lots of deadening and make sure to seal the front waves from the back. Any driver can be used IB, it's just a matter of how they will perform in that scenario.

 

Thanks for the info What does IB mean? Any suggestions on inexpensive drivers that perform well under these conditions? I'm not looking for insanely loud bass, I just want response from any sound frequency, no matter how low or high, so super low frequency response would be key (and clean too).

 

Infinite Baffle. Inexpensive... something like IDv3's from Image Dynamics would do well for sq and not insane loudness. I really enjoyed the DLS OA8's I had as well as my C-Mass SS82's.

 

Thanks alot for your help. Hopefully this will materialize fairly soon! I'm big into audio but I have yet to experience a satisfying sound system in any of the cars I've owned. I plan to biamp a set of components for the front and mount some subs IB style . I think it has potential to sound awesome. A problem with my ideal system is that I want to add as little weight as possible. I want to stay away from sound deadening even though I know it would help ALOT. I mean, for the rear deck, I understand it would be pretty much required but I think it would still save weight compared to a box in the trunk (trunk space too). I'm def. gonna look into those subs you mentioned!

 

This is an older pic but the set up is exactly the same. I've since put in JL's and cleaned up some of the small imperfections. None the less let me know what you think.

 

pic shows 2 alpines but I added a third to left corner side on floor to power rear doors. Big amp is for 2 jl 8" free air 8IB4 subs in rear deck, Other amp is for plk momo 6.5 comps, 3rd little amp is for alpine dddrive 5.25 comps custom made in rear doors. Plus I have a tiny 4th amp under my center console to power center spk for 5.1. Plus you need the nos bottle too. Spare tire under wood rack that lifts out.

 

It's Dec 4th, Blau is still in

 

Old trunk set ups: (still working on my current trunk)

 

Looks good man.

 

two 12" polk audio subs, cheap box, 900 watt rockford fosgate amp, slaps real hard, may not look like it but it does.

 

Not due to lack of trying to change though..

Lack of funding is more like it.

 

pwnt

 

Wasn't gonna put it in the car, was gonna use it for HT. The fg is staying, and the blau is staying

 

Sure.......

 

X 2

 

Next setup may be subless, thats all I'll say

 

Staying tuned.......

 

YES!! I thought I was the only person on the planet with those amps still!! Old School Alpine V12's FTW!



That's an old pic...the "MAXIMA" area w/emblem is gone (thank god, it was just used to help cover a badly measured hole, I have the center amp hole fixed with an added F400 instead of a F300).

What else is there? (2) Kicker comp 12", (2) Alpine MRV-1000, (1) Alpine MRV-F400, (1) Lightning Audio 1.5 Farad cap.
Then in front I have: (2) 1" Alpine dome tweets in the factory holes, (4) Infinity reference 6.5" in factory spots, Alpine CDA-9??? (dang 30yo memory) AiNet/MP3/CD player.
I installed/wired/set everything.
Oh...and an Optima Redtop.
