Hello. If you own a convertible, or have seen their trunks, you know what I am talking about! Does anyone have subs in their vert? Got any pics? Can it feasibly be done?
I would really like to kick up my sound system and get some bass out of it. I have (what i think) a really good system now. I put in an Alpine CDA-7894 (I cant believe I remember the code, they are discontinued and i got it years ago). This head unit puts out 60x4 watts and i have really enjoyed it. I've never seen a head unit that put out so much power. It is powering 2 sets of Infiniti Kappa 6.5's. These are 'mid-base' 6.5's with tweeters. I mounted the front set 6.5 in the door and the tweeter in the dash to replace the 3 inch ones there. The other pair is in the convertible quarter panel, and on the 89 the speaker is at the floorboard, unlike the 90+ where its in the middle. So i dealt the cards Ford gave me, and put it there, and cut a tiny hole in my quarter panels for the tweeter. Plus, they rotate freely, so you can point the tweeters around. Its rockin
So, I went with this super head unit and to me expensive to get the additional power because of my limited space! It does pretty well for itself, and i needed it so I could actually hear the radio when driving down the interstate top down at 80, fat chance with stock speakers. But when I really want a good tune, its just too much base for on my speakers.
So, anyone hip on putting subs in the vert's? Bottom line, opinions? Will I be able to hear it well, top up or down? any other ideas? I dont mind spending some money on it, but im just not sure if it will do much. And not sure how much of an issue it is, but lord I would probably never be able to access my spare tire if I had subs? I'm sorry but the vert trunk space is http://forums.stangnet.com/images/smilies/animatedCrap.gif
crapola .
Another question, for anyone with subs I guess, who much work would it be to take them in and out? Like if I needed to take the mustang on a trip and needed the meager trunk space. Or if I DID need to get to the spare tire. Shouldnt the box be bolted down? Thanks!
