subs in a vert? aside from the car having enough extra weight for that poor little engine, your sound will be compromised greatly! good luck, though. just dont expect any decent spl numbers.

whoa, calm down, i wasnt flamin. mainly pointing out it hurts. like driving with A/C blastin.
i was mainly pointing out that the cabin won't hold the pressure. pics, no. i dont have a vert or a system, nor look for either. ideas: calm down, i'm not attacking you like a gorilla out the dallas zoo. 2 12" JL W3s in a custom box. there's my idea. or going to the interior/exterior/audio section.

i realize my limitations with the vert
someone reminds us vert owners all the time.... for some reason
my post is requesting pics of custom boxes, i know what i want to do I just want to see pics of other boxes. that simple enough. stop wasting bandwidth on this woman banter. Look halfway down the page on the audio forum, ive posted there aswell
mmk?

ok, ummm what does mmk mean?
str8ballin, not everyone knows or realizes the limitations on the vert right away, casio was just trying to inform you. no need to tell people to "stop wasting bandwidth on this woman banter"... this is a forum, where things are open to discussion.

hey man, same situation all the time. if its a "re-post," people say search. i just happened to throw that in there, not as an attack. yikes. forum people "remind" others of the same stuff all the time. its nothin new.
and its not wasting bandwidth any more than not searching or posting the same thread in two places. i'm glad you posted there as well. thats where it should be.
want an apology? *i'm sorry for disturbing the smooth flow of your thread.* now, everyone with pics, please post them.
its all good. i hate the internet for its lack of a personality. i hate throwin in cheesy smilie faces, but it kinda helps, too.

4 5" speakers in the rear cover so I can hear the high notes at 100mph with the top down.

STR8BALLIN - R,
I think the best setup is subs & amps under the convertible's center spare tire cover. I've seen an amp rack in the trunk before, but then you don't have a usable trunk.
Most people relocate their spare tire into the rear spare tire compartment in the trunk as well.

I cant imagine how that's structurally stable. If you built boxes behind those speakers you'd end up tearing up the spare tire cover the speakers are mounted on.

thats what im lookin for! thanks man. I have thought about mounting 2 6x9's like you have the 4 5's. I was told it wouldnt be structurally stable enough though.
I would love to see more pics and especially if you have any of the box you made for the sub. directions etc.
does the single 10 hit hard enough?
where do the wires for the 5's go. when you have it up i cant see em'
thanks

you must have some big speakers up front to compensate for all those in the back!

The 10 is perfect and hits hard. The car thumps and will set off alarms if I turn it up, but that's not my style to go thumping around. I have heard another vert with 2 10's and it was not much of an improvement over one 10" if you ask me. Have also heard one with a single 12". It hit harder and could get much louder but did not have the range of a 10" so I think the overall sound quality was not as good. Didn't help the 12" and the amps were of 'questionable' quality also. I think a single 10" is plenty for the small space of the vert and is plenty loud with the top down covering it up and the wind in your ears. I also have 6" and with tweeter and another 5" in each door to balance out the rear.
pm v8rx7 for pics of his system. Very nice and just like mine but with two 10". He also has two 5" iwhere I have four of them. His setup allows for the spare tire to remain under the cover also! Probably the nicest vert system I have seen out there...next to mine of course He has a wiring schematic for it online somewhere.
btw, the 4-5" in the back are all wired to a couple of clips so I can remove the cover easily if needed.

Sound in the vert can actually be pretty good. With the top up, and the fact that the top section is very solid it can hold pressure pretty well. Granted it's probably not going to be as good as a coupe, but it's definatly not as bad as some other verts.

thanks rxheaven
so youve got all the wires for the 4 5's wired into a wiring harness so you just unclip and lift? very cool!
i am going for a new head unit first off and wiring directly to my rockford fosgate dash and door speakers and then I will either put 6.5,s in the door ( rockfords are 5.25) if i am not happy with the rockfords.
I am a little uneasy about cutting into my door panel but we will see.
Next I plan to make a sub box ( where I can get instructions on actual build beats me- i just dont know how to calculate the proper volume inside the box and ****) for 1 10" or possinbly a 12 depending on what fits and hopw much kwon ive got. and i will need an amp....
just a quick question....do you recommend any charachteristics of head units on the market these days that i should want mine to come with keeping in mind that i plan to run subs in the near future?
thks
more pics guys, lets see em!

box building
"Unless you're prepared to spend some time learning about it, you may be better off buying a pre-made boxed sub or paying a stereo shop to do one for you."
This is why I am looking for directions on the board. I dont want to spend the cash on a shop building one custom ( way too much $$) and I figure that with all the custom boxes and subs in that location someone must have the dimensions and critical aspects of building a box for this particular application allready. I am sure of it. Just takes time
