Specs? pics? brand? Anything? I cant swing over and have a listen, I'd love to, but alas I'm quite far south.

 

^^ definitely the way to go. sound waves are outdated. its all about tactile perception now.

 

i bet there's some pretty silly places you could fit a couple of these: Elemental Designs

 

Yes and no. I like the idea of slim and only needing a 1/2 cube, I just need to find a place it wont be in the way. So far, the 8 (or 2 6.5's) in the well, or perhaps something on the floor in the ext cab, under the seats, downfiring.

Oh and my components wont fit either. hooray.

 

Clark Synthesis Tactile Sound U.S.A.

I used the Silver series, which are the 'entry level' on about 200 watts each. They put out over 200 ft. lbs. of force. Its too bad you can't come demo them, though...they are amazing.

These are not the old 'bass shakers' or 'rump shakers' or 'butt kickers' that have been around...these are pro quality, full range, tactile tranducers. They have been using these in themeparks and high end home theater for years.

In a convertible application, like my suburban, they should be really cool, in that since the sound comes through your body, wind noise won't be as big of a problem.

I'd have to vote against the maxbass...its still a very good concept, but the product has some issues, particularly with longevity. The company has licensed the technology to several 'ipod boombox' type products, so I don't expect much improvement on the car piece...I'm not even sure if its still being made.

Drop by and check out the tactile stuff, though. Its too cool.

could do sumthin crazy stupid like this guy
6 inch sub in dash install - Team Integra

 

That looks more like an 8 inch sub to me... I have a pair of 6.5 speakers that look smaller than that, weird.


And yeah I would probably reccomend against doing that.

 

Well that's one way to do stealth. I guess it's just level of commitment

So now heres another predicament: I've got my component set. Crystal mobilesound 3 way 6.5/4/and uhh whatever size the tweeter is. I can fit the 6.5 in the 6x8 opening, but that leaves little room for anything else in there. Or put the 4 and the tweeter in there and try to find ahome for the 6.5?

Or just say fuckitall and buy a new set?

 

Sounds snazzy.

Make a new mounting bracket made out of wood and fiberglass it.
Or pod.

You have a lot of choices since those truck footwells are huge.

and the tweeter should be 1 to 1 1/4 inch, i believe that's the standard.

I definitely have liked the sound of a bigger woofer near my side, it gives it just that little extra mid-low bass that sounds and feels great. I'd put the 4" a little further away and pointing more towards you. This is where the pod idea is pretty nice. Vinyl it too and you got a sexy setup.
