My MK7 MWB med roof GLX

[Mike]

Its fine, the box hardly moves at all, had it in tango like this and gurj had it in his blue on with 4 subs in and we all know how that sounded

I can't help feeling that it'll sound so much better and produce so much more bass with a bit or reinforcing. Also (it may be the pics) but it looks like you have two ported and two sealed boxes?

I have to say that you're certainly challenging conventional thinking with that install.

Got 4 hifonics 1000 rms to use and a JBL GTO fo the door speakers

[Gurj51ngh]

That looks like 18mm mdf? It'll flop around like a prick in a bucket with those subs.

Not when its been made by me

Once the back of the box is on Mike there is not 1% flex. I agree you can add some supports internally like triangle braces but when I tested it and had it in my van for over a year it was fine.

The top two subs are ported can not remember the size of the box or port but if I remember right it was set to produce seriously low frequency's which only very few sub's can produce properly around 20hz I remember right

The reason I did not port the bottom box was the top two were a test to see how they went and boi they went well, But on some tracks which have very tight bass the sealed ones sounded better there was more of a hit from the bass rather then a shake that you get from the ported ones. So this was why I decided to leave the bottom box sealed so you can have best of both and it seemed to work really well. It was a test which went in the right direction.

It all depends on how mad you are what sort of music you listen to how much you have to spend where is it going in before you can make up your mind.

I heard 6 x 8" Kicker subs the other day in the back of a Focus, they may be 8" but they aint blooody cheap and boi are they powerful 450Rms each, the bass is so tight from them in a sealed box that when you sit in the drivers seat it actually moves your head for you moves your head

I think I may get two to use as some serious Mid bass

I'll reserve judgement until I hear it.

As for the 8" mid bass, some people say it's the only way to get proper mid bass. If you can get them in the doors and some 4" mids in the A pillars then it will certainly kick.

all i can say is it sounded sh*t hot with 2 subs in mine and sounded even better with 4 in gurj's van

strange place for the night heater

[Altransit]

:shock: strange place for the night heater

Is that what it is



I thought it was the exhaust for the sound system

[ake]

A couple of cable ties and clips wouldn't go amiss

its all got to come out and have new OFC cables fitted, replacment RCA leads etc, dash is a bit tight on these thou

@ mark
its the only place it can go and not be in the way, if i put it at the front and it goes t*ts up i gotta pull all the sub box etc out to do anythin to it, where it is now its out of the way and wont be seen when its boxed in
