not worth it unless ur really into the sound competition thing - too much money and work that seems pointless to me

i've been thinking about doing it on my car but it will suck because u cant see out the back behind you. so i'm gonna make the whole back a sub box laying down. its gonna be awesome when its done and i'll be sure to post pics

don't get me wrong, a great body shakin bass beat is great. However, when the only thing u hear is bass, it just sux. if u want to go into competitions, then yeah all u really care about is the bass, but if it's for a daily system, don't do it unless u got an equally powerful mid and high range too.

on a side note, there really is no point at all of a loud system if u rn't gonna be using it for competitions. u'll damage u'r hearing and it ain't any fun. i know this from my own personal hearing degrading. i never worked around loud machinery and i did have a loud system at one time. now i'm just going w/ quality not quantity.

There's a guy on a local forum that did it in his vehicle (not sure if it was a car or SUV, only had pics of the interior). But it looked pretty nice the way he did it. And he only did it for sound competitions (since you he can't see out of the back window anymore).

I did a subwall in my car.

It hits pretty good ! I dont have any recent or good pics since my camera is being repaired.

not to be a dick, but that is really rediculous. the sub is like, right in your ear. and you cant see out the back. and i bet it weighs like 150 pounds.

i dont know what kinda money you have to spend but there are some brands out there that are good enough to give you that sound and bass that you want with out all the work and b.s. if you would want my help on brands just ask . quality over quantity any day i had 4 12's in a camaro it sounded loud thats it just loud . i now have 2 10's in my prelude it sounds better then my camaro any day but its your money and do what you want .

well ok so my wall is morel iek a half wall but the reason iwanna do it is the interior is pretty eaten u pand well broke and stuff so i jsut wanan rip it out and well do the half wall.

i think your spacebar is sticking lol...

so you want a wall of subs because the back is all messed up? hmm maybe you should look at fiberglassing it that'd look a lot sweeter and you could still see out the back ^_^ if you're gonna spend that much on a big box and subs spend a lil more get some fiberglass and make it show quality

but then again i come to the same question, why are you doing it seriously just to make it loud or to actually listen to the music?

[crxlvr]

complete waste if you ask me. i am also one to-iterate what has already been said. my ears are fucked up, cost doesnt justify the means, unless you are doing comps, which you arent, i know, its more than likely illegal so be prepared for tickets, and having a wall of subs will sound like shit. i had 2 speakers and 2 subs in my crx and i trial-and-errored for months before i had the perfect balance of highs, mids, and lows to where people would actually tell me that i had the best sounding system they ever heard.

[maxassassin]

ok listen up let me totally clearify. the wall is mroel iek a half wall and it will only be as high as the bottom of the back window there for beign able to see otu the back. and 2 i want some loudness yes and some quality sound. also i dont have any trunk space what so ever so it also acts as part of a trunk.

[skotman]

i don't like the wall of subs idea.

i aimed at a balance between sound quality, moderate volume, and affordability.

i haven't gotten around to adding insulation anywhere yet. other things need to be dealt with first when i get the money.

i've got just run of the mill speakers in the doors, some supposedly "competition" 6x9's in small trapezoid boxes in the back, alongsite a 250W rms 1000W peak 10" infinity 1020W speaker in a box that's, honestly a bit too large, but the only thing sub $60 that i could find. it's powered by a 300Wrms 1000W peak Rockford Fosgate Punch amp. the speaker was a steal on ebay. brand new $50. can't find a CRAP speaker for that price these days. the amp was a steal too, though i can't recall how much i spent. it was barely half of what Best Buy sold it for, though. i got the stereo version of the amp and simply bridged the 2 channels.

now i wish i'd gone with 2 10's instead of one. perhaps i'll find another 1020W or a pair of something else, but while one 10 does fill in a great deal of low end, i don't feel like i have quite the headroom i need in some music.

the wiring kit used was a simple one from walmart. i never buy expensive wiring for anything. a wire is a wire. this one was like 4 gauge. frikkin huge. i could run a second amp on the splitter that came with it with ease.

so, in the future i imagine i'll find a box that fits the back better, a second 10" and maybe some sort of inexpensive version of dynamat.

uhh, why dont you get a bigger car, that way you can have more speakers and more respect...?

[icE_x]

because this is a civic forum...lol - what are you doing here?
