I didn't do it this way because I want to be able to easily remove the sub when my lease is up. The way the amp is mounted it will come out very easily.
I fully agree sound is subjective. I know you've been trained to hear things that no one hears. I was born that way, I shit you not. I know the curse. I actually don't like going to concerts for the exact same reasons. I'm never happy with the sound in any venue. I find fault with the stock speakers as well but, in my case, the curse can be overridden by cost in some cases. I envy you for your training. I would love to know half of what you probably do about the technicals. At the end of the day, it's "good enough" that I don't feel it necessary to tear it apart, modify the housings to accommodate better components, re-run wiring, and adding yet another amp. Especially not in a convertible and especially not in a leased car. From my POV, there's just not enough audible distortion at the volumes I listen to it at.
And screw you very much, now I'm thinking about swapping the rear 8's and selling my 10, you jerk.  |
Sorry dude. That wasn't my intent. Most people are happy with what they have and the style of music they listen to. But I would love to see a pic of how the amp was mounted if you have any. 500watts is more than enough for a car this size. The only thing I would suggest to people is replace the mains with the focus brand speakers. The sound quality you get out of them is better than any high end factory speaker. Including boss or Harman. Those speakers are actually crap mass produced and marketed to the extreme. The are all hype. As for the subs. I like JL Audio at 1ohm. But that requires a new amp. But post your pics. Would love seeing the amp setup.
