I dont wana change nothing in the trunk just want to know if it would be ok or not to add the 8" woofer in the center console
Phaeton Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 Its not the best idea to mix subs, Then it wouldnt sound as good as it could be, Maybe if you put it on the right crossover so it only hits something like 80-150hz and the 15's hit 20-80. 1997 subaru legacy outback Four 15's in a almost wall Rockford Fosgate t2500-1bdcp Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on tweets Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on highs Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midrange Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midbass Optima Yellow top batteries 270A Singer alt (working on a bracket for a second) Lots of Second Skin
Skullz Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 Using it as adding more sub bass won't do anything, but if you intend to use it as midbass then you'll gain the missing part most systems lack between the sub and sound stage. You will need a pair and have them fire into each side of the car for best effect as midbass is directional unlike the sub stage. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
islandpride684 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 unless you care about mid-bass then no need for it...I agree with Skullz Build Log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186921-blk9te-07-yukon-slo-mo-build/page-3?hl=%2Bblk9te#entry2881410
gckless Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 As said, unless you're going to use a bandpass crossover then probably not the best idea. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

d-nice88 Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Posted December 21, 2014 Ok then no need to spend 130 bucks on ab spl woofer just get some midbass wooferz to put in the center console
d-nice88 Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Posted December 21, 2014 Sucks that I couldnt add the skar woofer since I already started to make my box :/
Aj11 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 go out and get 2 mid woofers. you can do the same thing your thinking of. i would do a sealed box and run them at 50-550hz then cross the mids in your doors at 500hz And so on. you'll be surprised how much better real mid woofers will sound then that sub. plus i don't like putting over 120hz to any sub. not to mention you can get 2 prv 4ohm 8inch mids for about $60 bucks. so with your budget of $130 you can spend $70 bucks on a nice 2 channel amp to power them if you don't have one already. jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out)
