Wow..... so many choices... man
Ok.... quick question. I currently have no subwoofers, and no amplifier. Just a fdescent JVC head unit, and a set of Infinity Kappa 50.5 CS component speakers with crossovers. I'm ASSUMING that the reason It gets distorted at higher levels (especially with heavy bass playing) is because of the stereo.. not the speakers, as I believe top of the line Infinitys should be able to handle much more.... right?? Please.. correct me if I'm wrong. So..... I have a 600W 4 channel amp on its way here as we speak.... Which leaves my choice of subwoofers and subwoofer setups up to me. cutting the center console is definate OUT. No way. I absolutely SUCK at fiberglass, so if I built a box in the front of the passenger footwell (BTW.. the "foam" piece has been removed in my car, and carpeted over), I'd have to build it out of wood. Plus, $350 is too rich for my blood to buy the one that guy is selling. My plan was to "taper" the box so that the bottom part (resting on the floor) was very thin, and the top part was much thicker, so the subwoofer would be facing kinda "down". But after reading that thread, I see the converted bass tube used as a certer console... and I kinda like it. So now I'm torn on what do do. Advice? Suggestions?? |

The distortion ratio for the deck is what causes the high volume distortion. When you add the amp you will be at the lower end of the distortion level for the deck and hence lower distortion at higher volumes. A crossover will help cut out any highs and low to the wrong speaker component.
QUOTE see the converted bass tube used as a center console That’s an interesting option but it will take up your limited interior storage space! I will search for a few other postings that have shown some very imaginative sub placements! Jeff |
