theunderlord Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I never really thought about the pressure from the sub acutally will screw with the rear deck speakers. With that in mind I might just get some components and put them in the rear doors, along with a sh!t load of Dynamat to prevent rattling embarassment. So with removing the rear 6x9's I'll get matching material to cover those holes, to provide breathing room for the W7. So you guys think that I should just stick with the factory box and just save some sheckles?? Because I could always use some extra money for the 16T that I am going to put in very soon too... But back to the W7 I am going to have a quick disconnect for the sub incase I want less weight in the rear because that sh!t is heavy!!!... Thanks for all your replies guys. Drive it like you stole it!! ←keep the factory box... it'll hit HARD.... save the money for the 16t. Here's my setup... No need for the quick disconects here!

wattsat Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I never really thought about the pressure from the sub acutally will screw with the rear deck speakers.I had a 92 Maxima with a 12" Kicker Free Air in the trunk with 6X9's in the Deck. I had not thought about that problem either when I made the setup and then I noticed how crappy the 6x9's sounded with the sub on. Turned the sub off and they pounded.I eventually cut their frequency to 200Hz and above. Doing that makes it pointless to even have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am guessing that I'll stick with the bandpass, and I was thinking about removing the spare and having my amp rack down there, because in my old 4runner I had the amps mounted on the back of the box, and I took the box out for a snowbaording trip and had NO speakers as well as bass. So what I am thinking is keeping the stock flooring in the trunk and getting a nice little rack down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No overheating problems at all.... with the rear seats folded down you can get to the amp adjustments really easily.. Good luck man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frinkiac Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 question? is the seal from the speakers enough? or is it almost nescessary to seal them off for good sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veneficus Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 question? is the seal from the speakers enough? or is it almost nescessary to seal them off for good sound?←Sealing for any type of box is crucial. When you have a sealed box it is going to make some nasty sounds if you don't seal it up correctly. This will also cause vibrations that you probably won't like.

Sub speakers in a sealed box? or eliminating the rear deck speakers and sealing them off from the trunk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also he's right if you don't seal the subs in their box sealed or bandpass, they'll make some funky noises. With the rear deck speakers, .....yeah they just have to come out...

I'd just get some 3/4" MDF, paint it black, and make a cut out to go over the rear deck holes, throw some silicone sealant on there screw 'em down and call 'er good.

The Reverend Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I have a question regarding removal of the rear speakers. I am setting up my system hopefully sometime later this week (depends on when it arrives). I am going to run two 6.5's in the front stage and 2 10's in the trunk. My HU is an Alpine CDA 9825. It has an option that allows me to turn of the power from its internal amplifier, effectively shutting off my stock speakers. Since I am going to run a seperate amp for all of my speakers, I was planning to just shut off the stock system and run my new system solely off of the new amp. Is it at all necessary for me to remove the rear speakers? I don't see why it would be, but if necessary, I will do it. I just don't want my car to look too much different from stock. I would rather that it appears entirely stock (save for the kicks and HU) than have to do modification. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veneficus Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I myself would take the stock speakers out.... I only use the front stage myself and I ended up taking apart the boxes that sit in the back shelf and taking the speakers inside of them out and then re-installing the empty boxes. It lets more bass get through to the cabin. As for the front speakers, I use the stock locations but if you're getting kicks you should probably just ditch them. Also make sure that you disconnect the stock tweeters or take them out. I left mine in becuse I figure that the housing may come in handy if I feel like throwing in a set of aftermarket tweets later. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
