Re: Lets see your 12" subs

Have no pics, but there's a pair of 12" Rockford HX2s in the back of mine. However I built my own box. Mine are about 1/4" from the hatch at full excursion, so it's a tight fit

Re: Lets see your 12" subs

Here is the install I did about 5 years ago in my RS. Old camera, sorry for the low-res pic.



fit perfectly in the lower section of the hatch and had about 1 cu ft of space for the Type-R. Still allowed for the stock t-top bag to be used and the sub was pretty well out of sight when it was

Re: Lets see your 12" subs

Mine is similar to Dan's, though a bit newer. A single 1000 watt RMS 12" sub powered from the sub channel of a 5 channel amp at 1100 watts RMS.



Hidden with an expanded metal cover, covered with acoustic carpet.

Re: Lets see your 12" subs

Al's definitely looks nicer than mine. Never got around to making a trim panel on it like his (flushing in the amp). The car's long gone and the sub box got soaked due to leaky weatherstripping, but we may see a new setup in the TA next year. Keep getting new ideas from all of you guys.....

Re: Lets see your 12" subs

My single Image Dynamics Q 12 is still in the factory box

It will eventually go in the bottom of the rear well taking up about 1 cu.ft.

Re: Lets see your 12" subs

All I have is a video of my old 2 Kicker Comps, with a shitty amp. The Camera couldn't handle the bass and sounds like crap.

Re: Lets see your 12" subs

Here are my 12" subs in a custom made enclosure. Great thing about this is that I can still have a fair amount of storage in the back, the part the amp is sitting on lifts up.

Re: Lets see your 12" subs

Subs are 600 watts with 1200 watt subs. Pretty good sound. The setup means that they aren't too loud outside, but really loud inside. When I installed them I was adjusting the amp levels and didn't think it was all that loud (standing outside). I heard some rattling so I am feeling around trying to find the rattle in the car. I took a step back and realised that the whole car port was rattling from the subs. When you close the hatch and sit it the car, it is aswome. I actually have to turn down the leves on the amp.
