i need help figuring out where to hid 2 subs. My fathers an *** about subs and wont let me put them.....i need to find a way to hid BOTH subs with out him finding out they are there. And with out removing my spare tire...anyone got a idea?????

 

what if he turns on the stereo...

 

Does JL Audio make a stealth box for your year?

JP

 

I guess the question I have to ask is; is the car his or yours?

 

it's not just hiding the sub, you got to hide all the wires too. i'd say try to make peace with your old man first. my $.02

 

put it in the seat

 

this is what u do but u have to be creative, take the subs out the box, and see if u could remove the spare, and try to work with it in their its the only place where it cant be seen, then again if its your dad hell wonder why theres no spare i duno what to tell u man

 

build a custom sealed aftermarket 8" 0r 10" under the bose cutout under the rear deck-
or find so me free airs

 

You could make a false wall in the trunk. I doubt he would notice the trunk dosnt go back as deep as normal.

 

It'll be difficult to hide the two subs, wires, and the amp. Your father will eventually notice that there's less trunk space. Why don't you spend your money on a set of nice speakers?

 

no they dont make a stealthbox for the 5th gen

 

whats a stealth box?

 

just put them in anyway, how often does he really look in your trunk..really

 

Just kiss some **** and you will be fine. Get them installed some where that will give you a warrantee if they mess something up. SO you both win, you get the sound and he gets the piece of mind knowing that some place professional installed them and if something goes wrong(god forbid) you have some where to bring it to to get it fixed.

 

either fiberglass in the tire well... or else tell him. im sure he will pop the hood and see the wires anyway.

 

i doubt hell he see that one wire, unless you loom it up and hide it or something. but trust me once u have a system in your car anyone or everybody will notice. unless your slick and dont play it around your way.the best thing to do is what slickrick said and put like a trap door. either than that get a free air sub and start drilling the rear deck

 

2 da max....trap door?? free air sub???? whats those things.... my fathers stupid i swear so yeah talking to him is like talking to a goat...

 

who's car is this...

 

This info may be useful.

 

2 da max....trap door?? free air sub???? whats those things.... my fathers stupid i swear so yeah talking to him is like talking to a goat... (my car...)

 

WTF? One more time WHO'S CAR IS IT?

You asked for it...

 

I SAID ITS MINE lol

 

DUDE, you can't hide no subs eighter way. how you expect to get sound quality, you need room for the bass. you could do the spare tire idea, but you can't cover them like with a plywood or something. maybe someone will come through with an idea.

 

Ok, I'm going to answer your questions.

So some research if you want to find out what a free air sub is. It's a sub that does not require an enclosure (box).

I'm sure your father is not stupid, he doesn't want you to spend money like this and put a bunch of audio in your car for a reason. Maybe you could ask him why he would prefer you not doing so instead of calling your own father stupid. One of my buddies' father passed away yesterday, so you may want to think about that for a second. I'm assuming that he does not want you to have to worry about your car being broken into etc.

Talk to him about simply just upgrading the factory speakers (as someone else mentioned) this will give you a better sound overall.

Oh yeah, BTW

 

oh oh i know i know. Use velcro to secure everything so you can take it out whenever you want. Thats what im planning to do.

OR

you can camouflage the subs and amp. Put the sub box in a huge cardboard box and bolt it to the car. Do the same for the amp. Since its bolted to the car, if your dad tries to move the box, he'll think its too heavy and give up.

 

I belive your father might be like mine. Once you put everything in, he won't care much as long as you say, it took hours of work, and looks better then shop would ever do.

 

Are you kidding me? Is this the type of advice we can expect on here? The issue is a bit deeper than trying to figure out how to hide a couple of subs in this kid's trunk.

StAtiXz6 - Take mine and the others' advice and talk to him about upgrading the original speakers. Don't try to hide anything from him, because if your car does get broken into, I'm sure that not having bass in your car anymore is going to be the least of your problems.

 

Best bet right now if you want to improve the sound is to get some nice interior speakers. Granted, most nice speakers are power hungry and may need a good 4 channel amp to make them shine. But this will lead us back to square 1...your father might see the wires. I'd say talk it over with your old man first, then go from there.

 

Tell him if you can't have subs then you are getting a motocycle

 

You guys are putting to much effort into this thread.

 

free air is a sub that works with out a box, if u cut a hole in your rear deck you could probably mount like a 6 inch sub on it but den again, i think it will be real obvious to see a speaker on the deck unless u get some kind of grill that covers it up well. or u could be ghetto and take out your spare nd build a box there and cut a pice of the carpet out when u want to play the sub i duno wateva works for u, but trust me a system IS OBVIOUS

 

Who needs subs? Aura Bass-Shakers under the seat will work


BTW... When did we let 8th graders post here who have not learned to type? Damn people, learn the proper use of words and sentence structures!

Where's my Asprin. I have a headache now....

 

Aight everyone. Thank you for all the advice ill try to talk to my old man and see whats up. Ty all

 

Simple. Remove the rear speakers, enlarge the holes and place some 8"s in there. I doubt he will notice a change in diameter from 6.5 to 8 in the rear.

Or, Make a custom fiberglass enclosure on the side of the trunk for a 12, right where the jack and stuff is, but on the other side.

Or, get a bass tube and put a towel over it so he can't see it

 

Get a bazooka and place it under the seat.

 

just get new speakers and amp those b1t<hes up!

 

not enough clearance under there

 

LOL

 

Damn Minsbang you do have a tough decision!

 

Ok, let this thread die already guys. He said he was going to have a talk with his old man. Quit giving him ideas already

Edit: And how the hell are you going to fit a Bazooka tube under the seat?
