Active subs

After something small that will fit under a front seat, and thought something like this would do the job

I have an Infiniti Basslink, similar idea although too big for under a seat. Pleased with it.... not mental bass but didn't expect it to be :)

Sony mex-1hd head unit, caliber front components, pioneer 6 by 9's. Nothing too special :)

Cant decide if to go for a sub, or some 6x9s ... have you run either separately with the componets ? Was there enough mid range with just a sub ??

one of the lads had an alpine one, nice looking thing, looked kind of like decks :smiley: yep cuz they are so close they kick your ass very well so to speak.   ( my system, 2x 12 inch pioneer subs driven off 2 american pro import amps, 2 power caps, one alpine amp rinning vibe componants in front doors, and yeah its loud disturbs the neighbours quite nicely )

about the volume again, if you have ever sat in the back of a normal car(closer to subs like under seat!) with subs in the boot? much louder than the front.

I don't honestly notice any difference if I don't connect the rear 6 by 9's. Whereas if I ditch the sub it makes a massive difference!!

na rear 6x9s are too far away to here the 'bass' if thats what you call it! (midbass) and are not angled properly to hear the treble
