Oh Dear...First Post!!!

[bombsquad21]

My System is very bad, I have a JVC DVD head unit, that has no screen..I used to run an Ipod and I figured a DVD would be easier to control, it is.. I run some JVC 6inch deals in the stock fronts and thats it. I wanna run splits in the front, I want bass response but am not interested in filling my boot with boxes etc.. at this time. I do not want to cut up my parcel shelf....suggestions please?? Moderate priced items would be most appropriate..

Cheers

as i found out, u wont get BASS out of any 6inch splits . . . maybe unless your willing to hand over sumwhere in the region of a thou! which would be silly . . . splits are for clarity in mid to high, u need a sub for d lowzz . . . im no expert so correct me if im wrong . . .

go some high quality 6.5" splits and a small sub. ud be surpised how small an enclosure u can put some subs in. Just make the box easy to remove.

no real way around it unfortunately, if u want real bass u gotta have a big speaker somewhere.
If u r after cheap stuff thats not too bad go check out jaycar and see what they have to offer.

hmmm . . .dnt go too cheapo but?! . . . i dnt think you will get the clarity from cheapo's . . .

Good to see a VW car audio section!!

You can get reasonable low end from splits, but not right down around the 30hz region.
Having listened to a pair of $800 morel splits recently its certainly possible!

As a starting point, Hertz HSK 165 splits for $300 are freaking awesome though. Definitely make a point of listening to a pair.

Jaycar response are also an excellent value option.

You don't mention that you're running an amp currently. You *will* need one to power a pair of splits properly. Keep this in consideration also.

ive got sony 6x9's the standard front speakers and a kenwood cd/mp3 player. Does me fine, i dont listen to doof doof so dont need subs and i would rather spend money on go fast parts or a home stereo because they always sound better anyways.

Try some of the new shallow mount 10" subs. they are very good for a very small Box, like 1/4 cf. Have you thought about any of the powered subwoffers designed to go under seats? They are ususaly a shallow 6.5" or 8" with its own amp, and about 3" high

Ooer, who makes those?

Ooer, who makes those?

Clarion, earthquake, pioneer ect all have shallow mount subs. Clarion has a Powered underseat box

Oh I vaguely remember this concept from a few years ago. The consensus on car audio au forums was that they werent as good as a proper sized sub.

thats usualy because its only 6.5" compaired to an 8" or 10". not to meantion a 12" or 15".

im running 2x 10in pioneer subs in a large sealed inclosure(tuned), 2x blaupunkt 6in splits, 2x pioneer 6in 2 ways, JVC head unit 1x kenwood amp 80w x4, and us audio (cheap but good) 4 channel bridged running subs.
basicly same set up was in my exa was running 138Db...(minus 1 amp)
little bit more power now though...but im too old for loud music these days my 30yo ears dont cope well, lol...barely goes over 25 on the volume.
used to have a job 9 years ago installing performance audio... but dont really follow the scene anymore.
