Cheating w/ Subs

Hey guys I got a question. I really want some subs for my 97 3000GT SL but i'm pretty much broke and I can't go out and buy new ones. However, there is a situation that I am thinking about looking deeper into...(BTW, I'm notorious for having random little ideas that are so crazy they sound like they might actually work:screwy: ) K well my dad had these little subs plugged into his computer and they sound really good, high quality and crisp sound. What I'm wondering is if the wiring for the subs plugged into my dad's computers is different than the wiring for a car, more specifically a 97 3000GT SL. And if theyre the same, would I be able to throw together a makeshift device to hold them in place and hook them up to the sound system in my car? Keep in mind that I'm not looking for perfect subs, just something that will make due until I can afford some real ones. Yes :iceslolan ? No :shakehead ? Ty in advance

I hate to sound condescending, but if you have to ask you probably aren't going to do a good job.

My question is: what makes you think a "small subwoofer" would make you car sound better? I would have to admit that the stock speakers are pretty crappy, but they are 6.5" and 6"x9" drivers which have a lot of radiating area.

Typically a "computer subwoofer" has a driver that is what... 6"? You would be installing a subwoofer with a smaller driver then your stock ones!

You can't get a "clean" sub that has a driver under 8" (I would argue at least 10"). Any smaller and there would be too much excursion in the sub to sound "clean".

I wouldn't bother trying...

since your looking into subs, you probably want some sort of "bump". That sub will not give you what your looking for.

if your looking for crisp and clear sound, thats all about the tweeters and highs. again thats probably not what you want.

i would save up a little money (~$100), and buy new 3-way 6x9s for the stock locations. TONS of options for brands out there.
That will probably give you clearer highs/mids, and better/louder base response.

ive got some Kenwood 4-way 6x9s im looking to sell, but i dont know if they'll fit depth-wise. Let me know if your interested i can take some pics or w/e.

haha i think wallmart has a deal for like 80 bucks.. its a 10" with a 300 watt amp.. but if you want somthing good.. just keep in mind you get what you pay for.. not to mention i think the sub on your dads computer has an built in amp that uses AC currant from the plug in your house.. the car runs on DC so you would need a power inverter...

not to mention i think the sub on your dads computer has an built in amp that uses AC currant from the plug in your house.. the car runs on DC so you would need a power inverter...

You probably wouldn't need an inverter if you had some electronics experience since the amp is most likely running 12 volt DC electronics... The problem is you probably need to build a high amp 12 volt regulator since household amps are not designed to deal with the surges and dips you get in a car's electrical system.

As I said, unless you know what you are doing you aren't going to do this well.

If you dont want to spend alot of money there are some nice boxes with the right ppl or knowledge that you can build for 2 6.5 or 2 6x9 that will hit loud but once again you have to the plans and specs and all o build. But hey if you wanna just "bump if you can use that term *sorry used to 146.6dbs* but use somthing cheap from walmart*

ty guys and dont worry about seeming condescending, like i said, I'm chock full of..."out of the box" ideas that are nothing more than just thoughts. I have some ADD or ADHD or whatever so it makes my mind make strange connections (some good, some bad) and i figure theres so many at least one of them has to be good. TY for the input guys
