Jordan Guess Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Okay so I am looking to do some work on a 1974 MG B for my brother as a gift. there is a compartment behind the passenger seat that I could fit about .15-.1-8 cu ft box in and was hoping to find a small sub that I could get him something a little beyond a typical door speaker. First I need to know if this is even possible, and secondly what would you guys recommend for a 6.5? Ive been looking around on my own and most people are throwing these into home audio system in huge ported or T-line enclosures and there is no specs for sealed. Secondly, would there be a good amp to match this for a cheap price as well? your input is much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapanater Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Check out the Focal 6.5s for 9 bucks. Quote 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Guess Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 would 1 focal be my best bet? even if my budget was roughly like $50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaker Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) First you have to realize that you're not going to get very high output out of it, and probably will max out at 200 watts in a ported box (at most depending on the driver you choose). That being said you can run it sealed in pretty much any enclosure. PE is pretty good about supplying T&S parameters. As far as using a 6.5 as a subwoofer, with that little airspace, you COULD port it, but your output would be low under 40 hz, even if you tuned it low. Your best bet is just to seal the enclosure and fill it with fiberfill, it will give you the best and cleanest response for your airspace. Even if you dont have the correct TS, it takes a lot to be off by that much in a sealed box. With the top down I dont even know if you could hear it. Pinoeer makes a small under the seat powered enclosure with a passive radiator that may be better suited to your situation.

Jordan Guess Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 model number for the pioneer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLNSHVNnDRAGGN Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 JL 6W3 would be perfect for that space as they call for .15^3 sealed and only take 150 rms but they are also about $140.
