howelr Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 so right now i have a 10" L7 in my Honda Del Sol, im thinking about "upgrading" but im not sure what to get, i dont have a ton of room, google honda del sol, its going behind the seats, im thinking either 1 12 or 2 8s, i dont hate the l7 i just want something louder which is probably difficult considering my space requirements. I can build my own box just looking to see if anyone had an idea for such a small car what to do. Also- putting the sub(s) in the trunk is not an option due to the secondary wall between the trunk and cabin area, im looking for spl, i even thought about a blowthrough but didnt know how hard it would be to do to this car Thanks!

howelr Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 i made 2 boxes for the l7, a sealed and a ported, i will end up selling those with the sub so i figure i can probably get close to 200 out of that along with a little extra i have to spend on it, i dont have a ton to drop on car audio stuff but i wanted a bit of an upgrade to what i have now, i can probably save up to 300 if needed, i just want to get loud in a little car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Poncho Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) i got just under 3cu without any displacement. if your going for spl i would do the 2 eights, out of those options. but those 12s could get loud and you might just be able to squeeze one in that little area. actually i would run 2 10s in that space. more cone area than the 8s and should be comfortable in that room. Edit: forgot about budget... in that case 12 all the way. i like my AQs Edited December 18, 2011 by I am Poncho Quote OLD BUILD LOG: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/166273-poncho-designs-trailblazer/ New car, new build coming soon...

rasic Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 A level 4 would get you good, great response too. Or maybe a ssa icon or go on the classifields and look for a used sub, what kind.of amp do you have Quote system: changes way to much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
