[CelicaST_CALI]

Ok i know theres a post somewhere of all the speaker setups but i think that a bunch of ppl have changed theres around by now and i am deciding what to do with my speaker system,and i think it would be nice to see what ppl have done with the spekaers in our celicas.(or if u just wanna give me the link to the old post).

[dustin15brown]

These are from when I was making my box, have covered it in black to match my carpet, and since then i have gone through two other amps, that one lost 2 channels, next one caught on fire. Now i got a new Alpine Digital block.

Do you get a nice clean sound with that box setup. Im looking for ideas...

[GreenyST204]

Yes i believe it sounds good other complain about my taste in music .
These old sony subs pack out a punch don't think you could get the same with modern sony.

some new photos.


when i got it up loud i can feel the blood behind my eyes jumping my rearview mirror droops, and some times i cant see out the back window.
but i don't hear any plastic vibrating it dose not move around in the boot and i still have space for other things.

[dustinkemp]

from this.....to....this....

From the back....

i need my trunk space, so i flush mounted them. they also have steel grills over them so that i can put stuff right on top and not damage anything.

cool, do you have a zoomed out view of it? Where is the Amp mounted?

[Valo666]

wow..art that looks cool...wish i saw that in person back at DWG

[CelicaST_CALI]

o cmon post the pics !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Valo666]

old pic

same location, but i just painted the strut bar and im making an additon to go over the side of the box so you dont see the amp and im going to be re-upholstering the box when i do my seats too.

[CelicaST_CALI]

lol wow thats basic....how does it sound valo?

[Valo666]

it sounds good..i listen to alot of rock music and some rap and techno..but it sounds good. Considering i spent $120 on my entire sub system, its not bad. $50 for the sub brand new from Best buy when they were on clearance, $35 for the sub box cuz the material had a tiny bit of damage on it, and another $35 for my sony 444watt amp and an install kit from my buddies shop. Its good too, cuz i have it toned down pretty good, but if i want to rattel the windows, i turn the bass up to 3 on my headunit and i can shake the entire car. Its kinda funny though, because my room mate has 3 10" JL audio subs in a custom made box designed for his car and has all JL speakers every where...then i have my $100 worth of speakers for the interior and $120 worth of subwoofer and 95% of our friends thinks that my car sounds better..lol

Here's an old picture:



Heres a new I just took with my rear strut bar and customized strut covers.

[goferris]

here's mine. nothing too special. got a quick q. i heard that it is bad for the amp to have all the vibrations from the sub so you weren't supposed to mount them on the box itself. is that true or just some bs that someone made up?

[Valo666]

i havent heard that, but i just mounted mine there because when i had it on the back of the seat originaly, the weight of the amp its self pulled the backing of the seat off the foam its self. I just put mine there for convience and so it wouldnt keep damaging my seats

[6gcSTVT]

My amp has been on the back of my sub for almost 5 years now

[Valo666]

thats a bit different...it would cooler if you still had one seat back there, or at least the seat backings or somethin so you wouldnt see into the trunk

[Dragondog]

i dont know what to do with my 2 12s the box itself takes up the whole trunk space and i dont want to remove the spare and i want to have easy acsess to the spare any ideas plz tell even if it means relocating the spare .......but my amp used to be screwed to the box till i also herd the vibrations can damage it so i moved it to the back of the seats as well.....but i think it just depends on the kind of amp you got iv seen some wild amps with digital temp gage on them along with a compleat plexy glass body with more fans then i can count, will prolly reach from strut to strut in trunk noe that i think can rattle apart with all thos gagets in it

Heres a quick pic of mine im working on..




ignore the rope coming out of it thats so i can get the speaker out whilst im still working on it coz its flush moutnted.

im thinking of havin 2 12's either side where you can still see the wooden floor. at the minute thats jus 1 15

[goferris]

^^that thing is huge!!!
why would you ever need more than that? that is all you'll be able to hear out of your car.

[Redline08]

yea mines not either, maybe its just our cars lol

I really like that idea and wanna do something similar. did you build a box for them at all?

[RedIce]

u need to make a fiberglass box to sit in the wheel well for this^^^^

theres a few tutorials for this kind of setup jus put a search into google using the words fiberglass wheel sub

I couldn't use MDF? I know space would be tight, but I figure with a shallow sub you might just be able to make space for a (very) small box.

then u get crapy sound

[RedIce]

^^^ cali's right ^^^

you would use mdf for your top but you use fiberglass to get maximum airspace from the well plus it would sit real snug in your car making it sound better too.

[CelicaST_CALI]

cali's always right lol

[6strngs]

I'd like to know what lagos did. Did he make a custom fiberglass enclosure?

I just like really clean subtle set-ups. I'd like the amp and all wiring to be out of sight and I just want one 10" sub. I plan on putting a 3-point rear strut bar back there, as well as relocating the batter back there. not only that, but I want it all as lightweight as possible. no 50lb boxes or anything like that. I also still want to have trunkspace... sigh, I guess I just want too many things, lol. I haven't figured it all out yet.

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

[RedIce]

^^^NICE. very clean!

[Jaws4God]

re-designed to allow the amp to cool better

[CelicaST_CALI]

hey jaws are those audiobahn DUBS?

[Jaws4God]

hey jaws are those audiobahn DUBS?

I don't think so.. not exactly sure what you mean...

[CelicaST_CALI]

well thers like a type of subs that are called audiobahn DUBS,tehy look like rims on teh other side,if there not then wat r they?

[Jaws4God]

nah, they are not the "rim style" ones.. they are unprotected on the other side, black, and have the Audiobahn symbol..

[CelicaST_CALI]

how is the sound when they are mounted into teh box?

[Jaws4God]

they hit nice for 2 8's... but they will not win sound competitions.. but inside the car.. I can't turn them all the way up without them hurting my ears

[CelicaST_CALI]

so its more sound quality than a boom?

[Jaws4God]

so its more sound quality than a boom?

yeah they are very clear! now I haven't gone around and heard a lot of systems... but I had a cheap amp and a boxed jensen before which hit harder but the audiobahns with this box are nice and clean sounding.

[Lil-Joe101]

BUMP to see some awesome custom audio setups

[dustin15brown]

Holy blast from the past

[jcbass7]

I have factory 8 speaker sound, with Kicker 8" subs in the doors, and 6' 3/4" speakers in the rear, stock 4" and stock tweeters (for now). I'm running the kciker's and polks from a 4 channel amp. I'm going to put a single 10 or 12 in the trunk in a custom box to top it off. Here are a few pics..
