System Setup ideas

Does anyone have any pics of a custom setup they have done with 2 8inch subs and 2 12 inch subs? I need some ideas

Place the 8's where the crossovers are. Have the 12's in the trunk.

IMO it would look tight if you put the 2 8s on top of the 2 12s. All four facing the back at an angle.

But here's mine. I know it's a POS system but what can I do?... I'm poor

alex053 will become famous soon enough
two questions about your set up

1. why?
2. what crossover points will you be setting the 8's and the 12's at?

you could always modify the door panels and put the 8's in the door, and the 12's in the trunk

That would be a hell of a lot of work.

If the 12's and 8's play the same freq then one will cancel out the other. And if you do it properly making the 8's mid bass drivers they need to be up front somewhere in stereo. Kick pannels, doors, floor or something in the front.

i think it would look better with one 12 and 2 8's. do the spare tire box in teh site DIY so its facing up with no false floor, itd look like mickey mouse!






...















all kidding aside, I would put the 8's in kickpanels up front, for that "bass up front" sound, also lets you take advantage of stereophonic low frequency extension. then the 12's go in teh back like any other car, with an install as creative as you want to be
