Trying for best sound without adding subs


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm sure this is crazy talk around here, but I'm way out of the loop on car audio and need some info. I just picked up a 2000 Honda crv with 6.5" in the doors and rear panels in the cargo area. I intend to do a lot of camping with the crv, the entire cargo floor is a table with fold up legs. I don't want to put a sub back there then have to fight with that and getting the table in and out constantly. I'm wondering if I could get away with 2 sets of these

And one of these

Although, if anyone has a really creative way to have a sub and it not interfere with the usefulness of the crv, I'm all ears

Honestly if you want something that absolutely gets down, look at hertz high energy or mille.

If you want to hear anything below 58hz then no, if you don't care then sure.

Have you thought about doing a subwoofer enclosure for an 8" subwoofer or even a smaller subwoofer like this http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=264-832

I had a set of the vxi components and I wouldn't use them if you were trying to play below their frequency. They sounded ok but not great. I don't know if it would work but you could make kick panels and put some 8 in subs in them.

I did consider trying to stuff an 8" sub or two somewhere, just not sure where. If the E brake wasn't on the floor, then between the front seats would be a great location. Also, I don't think kick panels are an option, not a lot of foot room in the 1st gen crv.

I'd like to hear that hertz stuff in person, a video can't really relay the quality, but it does sound pretty good in those videos

LOL Dude,you can never go wrong with any of the Hertz line of speakers,just make sure to get them from an authorized dealer so you don't get ripped off on some knock offs that are going around. I believe Sundown audio has a new 6.5" subwoofer coming out.. DD already has a 6.5" sub out that gets down pretty good

The JL 6.5" sub is pretty nice.

Do you have pics of the cargo area? I'm sure there is a way to do a sub in an out-of-the-way location. If you are willing to cut panels and do some glass work.

how about under the backseats? a row of four 8" or 6.5" woofers would be cool

There is no under the backseat. It's all gas tank. That was the first place I looked. Lol.

I'll check into dealer locations and see if I can check them out in person.

I haven't even remotely looked into car audio since high school, roughly 15 years ago. I'm way out of the loop on what stuff is out there. Also, I understand HZ measurements, but have no clue how low the music I listen to goes.
