can anyone give me idea's on what scale i could handle in the boot of a scoob.

chiark

Erm, massive. How big do you want to go?

Don't really understand the question. There's no limit to what you can achieve, unless you're thinking along the lines of 12 10" subs, or more than 4 18s...

no as in wot kind of set up. and wot exactly i'm aimin to beat on a gud install

Huffer

Sorry mate - you'll have to learn to spell better and form proper sentences to be understood.

Be specific about what you're trying to do - do you just want quality sound, or are you thinking of entering sound comps?
Got a budget sorted out? How much are you willing to spend?

JonnyT

I dont think ANY acoob will win sound comps will it??
I have 2xRF 12" subs, and Cerwin Vega components in the front, sound is amazing and really good quality, but not HUGE amounts of bass as the boot is so seperated. I miight be wrong, but my girlf has 1xRF 12" sub in her corsa and it's like 3x louder!!

Huffer

try a wagon mate - how much room is there in there?

"hulllooooooo.....anyone home....?"

I've seen/heard a couple of really good setups in wagons...not so many in sedans though...

Jonny T is right, the corsa will sound louder as your sat alot closer to the sub and the flimsy parcel shelf and rear seats also contribute. In a scoob you will prolly be better off fitting your subs facing the back seats or you could try mounting one in the shelf.

You always get better sounds from a hatch or estate, saloons are always a pain and convertables are almost impossible to make sound good with just a couple of subs.

Jonny what components have you got, did you manage to get the 6.5" in or did yuo have to settle for the 5.5"

Cheers

could u quiet easily fit a 15" sub in the boot without having any major problems? And also with 2 amps.

the chosen one

forgot to mention the amps. they're alpine v12's

Si.t

yeah, loads of room, no problems at all. sooo much scope for amp builds - rear seat, false floor, on the side, floating, stacked, behind perspex....

chiark

Yep, 15s fit fine

I've got one that I'm waiting to fit. "New car or not" is the dilemma...

Also, Subarus make pretty good ICE cars - just ask Paul from Mac's Power over in Ireland, as he did damn well with his setup in sound-offs IIRC.

the chosen one

have u got pictures of his install that u can send me or post on he bbs? or anyone else infact got any pics of their install?

Si.t

one coming shortly, but this'll change when the genesis gets back
