Stealth Shelf and a Nice System

[Uruk Hai]

I've seen Lens bracket system, you could mount a crane on it never mind a amp

Yeah, watch your volume if you put it in the arch. My 10" needs 22.7 litres.

what would a 12" need out of interest? is it specific to type/make/model of speaker or just a rule of thumb for different dimensions? if i'd put 1 in the offside I'd need to kind of extend the fibreglass/whatever into the boot more and square it off to make up the litres?

what are all of your 'systems as it were? maybe i could start up a thread to note down your spec etc much like the mk3 'show a pic' section? it'd be pretty kl for referencing if amps work well with speakers, what people have got etc... could even put pics up?

Enclosure volumes are specific to the sub,have a look online you should be able to find a download on the manufacturers website that will tell you what size you need. For a 12 inch it's usually around 1.5 cu ft,but as said some will require smaller or slightly larger enclosures.

sweet.

Obviously people have said putting 6x9's on a shelf which has subs underneath it will cause kinds of distortion etc, but is it really a biggy? It's just if i cant have speakers in the back I'll have 2 infinity 6x9's which i cant really use :-(

I have this set up and do not experience any kind of distortion whatsoever!

people on here have heard my system and complimented it!

[Ashley]

wicked. I know you get some people who're down to the very specifics of audio etc and physics of how the speaker moves etc etc, but I'm not wanting to sell my 6x9's etc if i dont have to.

have you got a stealth shelf len or did you say your speakers are on display/in your normal shelf?

[Len]

Just a sheet of MDF! My speakers are Sony Xplods and are red and silver so didnt want to hide them!

Did the mdf shelf as originally I had a small amp slung underneath to power the 6x9's.
But moved on to a 4 ch amp when I did the sub.

[Bootneck]

It's only a problem if you're using very powerful,large subs then they will cause distortion. I personally don't like 6x9's though.

I love 6x9's!!!
Got a set of Infinity's in the doors of mt 405 Mi16! Plus a set of 7x10's in the back shelf! That sounds great along with the 12" sub firing through the arm rest hole!

I really must get the photos of that sorted out! They used to be on here in my project page but since the forum server change they aint visible anymore!
