jbondox Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 you answered your own question, subs in the back seat, amp in the trunk Quote SMD SuperSeller VerifiedJbondoXJames Shields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowblueranger Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) Sell it and buy something else -it won't sound really loud on a limited budget in a convertible. I had a 2002 mustang convertilbe with two T1 12's and a T10001 and it wasn't very loud with the top up or down- nothing beats a good soild roof when you want lot's of bass.

I believe that would be the fault of the installation, I have done a pair of JL Audio 8w3's in a convertible and it pounded, top up or down, actually to think about it I did a lot of convertibles and many of them were crazy loud...

MachoWhiteTiger Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) when you have a limited buget buyin a new car isnt an option in my case. so any ideas? Edited August 4, 2009 by MachoWhiteTiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowblueranger Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) I know the same set-up in my mariner was way louder. I'm sure it wasn't the fault of the installation.

jbondox Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 It all comes down to application and design... Sure you are not going to set any SPL world records in a convertible, but at the same time you can get a convertible to hammer just as good as the vehicles with a trunk. Mariner is an SUV, it should be louder with little effort, it is physics. Machowhitetiger, build a down firing enclosure loaded off the floor/or make your own loading, making sure you take into considerations the specs of the woofer Quote SMD SuperSeller VerifiedJbondoXJames Shields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactownstang Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 now I disagree about it hitting as hard as out the trunk, but... many years ago I had 2 10" bazookas and a alphasonik amp, it seemed loud but that was many years ago. I know it probably would not break 130 db on a termlab! A pair of 10's in a custom box should be possible. May as well take the rear seat out it's worthless anyways....

I have only been doing Hertz Mille woofers, and $700 a pop, I am sure it rules me out Quote SMD SuperSeller VerifiedJbondoXJames Shields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
