Ive been wanting to do this for a while, so finally its in, and i love em. Heres some pics. First is just my car, i dont think ive posted a pic of it.

Looks good. What size are those?

 

just so u guys know aswell, that amp i got is insane, its only 350watts rms, but im powering two type R alpines, which is crazy, but man it pounds, and its cheap too! its like $349 canadian so like 250 us, very very nice amp for the price

 

12's, its a bit excessive, but i like it

 

Those are the exact subs I plan on getting, the Alpine Type-R 12's. Are you happy with them?

 

they are great, I work for a place that sells em, so i got a good deal on them too, but well worth the cash, i dunno if i needed two tho, and i dont know if i needed 12s... they are really powerful, 10s might have been better.

 

one thing, dont do what i did... I screwed in my amp, luckily i didnt peirce the gas tank... so ya if u want to screw em down like I did, use very short screws... i came about a half an inch from my gas tank. so ya watch out hehe

 

I'm kinda a bass-head so they'd probably work out nicely for me. Especially when I listen to my rap and techno/trance music.

That's what kinda sucks, I listen to so many different types of music that I'm always wanting to adjust my levels... when I'm listening to techno or hip-hop I want un-naturally emphasized pounding bass. When I'm listening to hard rock or something else, I want accurate, clean bass that isn't muddy. Oh well.

 

Ah yes, definitely have to be careful of that. I plan on making the top plate of my box go across the entire trunk space so that everything is completely flush with no seams, and then I'll mount the amp on top of that.

 

do they have enough airspace? Looks like they sit kinda low in the well

 

i figured they wouldnt and it would sound like crap, but supprisingly its a good ammount under there, its just a bezzel over it, so its not a full box... im considering puttin fiberglass under it, but i dunno if i wanna lose that airspace

 

Oh, you mean that isn't a box, it's just a plate holding the subs?

I'd be willing to bet that setup would sound 10x better in a sealed box. Of course if you think you've got too much bass now.....

 

actually when its mounted that low, the diff between it and a wood box down there is almost nothing... that compartment is actually really well sealed... but i may get a fiberglass box, this is kinda a temporary thing.... but i like it so i dunno if i need to change it... only cost me 30 bucks anyways

 

Yeah it does look pretty sealed off....

Just don't do what the idiot that owned my car before me did, and squirt sillicone sealant all over the STOCK CARPET to seal his "box".

 

looking good but what about all the wire mess on the amp?

 

Like the car. Looks like it has th GTA emblem on the side. You should get the one that goes on the front clip! Matt

 

I've always loved GTAs.

 

I need to run the wires right, that pic was right after i put it in, so it was a mess.. its a lil cleaner now, but im still moving stuff around.. and as far as the GTA symbol, I kinda like it, but i wouldnt mind debadging the car... i know u guys prolly dont like that idea, but my buddy has an 85 gta thats completely debadged and it looks sweet.. i just gotta get time to take off the emblems

 

I have about the same box set up. But mine is a fully sealed box. I used fiberglass. BTW those look real good in there. Like the car too.

 

thnx man, i got it about 6 months ago for pretty cheap because it had a few kinks... but i got it working good now, and to top off the good price... it only has 90,000 orig kms on it... thas bout 60k miles for u americanos hehe I wuv my car

 

sweet pic, J.

about time you washed your car :P

 

yeah i agree,

you need to put them in a box without ports..the sound and bass is totally amazing...unless../.like was mentioned...you dont like bass..

so you are happy with the alpines huh...im partial to the jls..but always have..

heres my setup with 3 10inch jls (wos) i hit 145db..and that was with the left gain all the way down so...running off like 1.5 subs..
my amp is the zapco 350, its killer

Hey FatJ and theSteve you should check us out here
http://web.camaross.com/forums/forum...?s=&forumid=29 cause we are local F-bodies and we cruise ot to Whiterock etc. all the time. Im in Richmond and theres 2 more friends of mine in a 92 1LE and an 87 383CID 6 speed and we would love more third gens to come out.

 

umm I like JL, I was considering getting some JL W3's instead of the alpines, but dude, you have w0's, those are cheap subs... decent for the cash, but are u trying to tell me they are better than alpine type R's?
and i do like bass, if u heard my car u would know wut i mean by too much bass

 

nice looking install!

 

He hit a 145 with those "Cheap Subs", the WO's are really nice subs for the money. But I'm partial to JL also, always have been.

Anyways, looks like a nice install. Only thing I would have done is make an Amp rack, not really a big deal, but if you get another amp, it would make everything look alot cleaner. I put my little amp in the cargo box, cant see a thing.

 

I had a pair of JL 12w6s in my old T-Bird SC and they hit awesome. In my Camaro I have 2 12" Crankenstein High Voltage comps. and they hit crazy hard too. I am changing to Alpine Type Rs cause I cracked the cone on one of the Cranks( they are lifetime guaranteed but A&B Sound doesnt sell them anymore). Type Rs are sweet subs and w0s really cant compare. We need to compare w6s with Type Rs

 

Zapcos are unbelevable amps. That is a swweeeet amp.

 

w6's blow type R's outta the water, but u need one hell of an amp to power two of them... I was considering W3's instead of type R's, they do sound a lot better, but the w0's are nowhere near the type R's

 

oh btw bristol, I work for A&B Sound in langley, if u need anything just pm me n ill get u friends and family pricing, always gotta help out da thirdgen peeps

 

Appreciate the offer.

 

i am jeolous! those are awsome subs. looks good. What headunit and other speakers are in your car?

 

Nice install

 

What you think they would sound like in a trunk fully dynomatted?? I am thinking about putting the Type R's in my Tbird Turbo coupe right now. I listen to just about every type of music...so i was deciding btwn 12's and 10's...prob will go wit the 12's tho...If I dont go with the Type R's I wana go with the Infinity Perfects. My tbird has a fully dynomatted trunk...and has the spray dynomat stuff in it as well. Was an audio show car...so Im not sure what Im doin yet.

hey chevkid, I dont have my whole system together yet, but for now this is what i have...

Panasonic CD deck - its not bad, i want this new alpine one tho
Stock dash speakers - crap. must replace, powered by deck
alpine type R 6x9's in da back - awesome
6x9s are powered by a sony xplod amp (crap amp, but its not mine anyways)

that then tha subs

 

hey jim, if its all dynomat'd then you gonna have no rattle, im jealous.. mine rattles like crazy, i think im gonna break something hehe, the infinity subs are good, i like mine so far. Id be curious to see it when u get em in tho.

 

i just got mine put in yesterday and it sounds nice.. i payed 115 for the box and 100 for the amp i already had the subs and the system in before but i got a new box and now it hits even harder than it did before i'll get pics soon after i clean it up a bit more i've got some wires to hide under the carpet and all that but it should be done soon.

 

Nice set up! You should run some kicks in the front.

 

i heard some dudes system yesterday he's packin 3 10's and 2 12's it was awsome i couldn't beleave that he stuffed all that in the backend of his camaro but there it sat and man did it pound!

 

I heard JL audio makes the best stuff out there. -89IRO
