Advice greatly appreciated as I am quite a novice in this department!!

Iv got a gAlpine CDM 7892R headunit & fitted Infinity Kappa 62.7i front spkrs (225w max) running off headunit only. Some sound deading in front doors and thats it.

Iv got a JBL GTO, quite a big amp lying around & a smaller sound lab one too. I dont want a boot install & want a small, removable sub & amp system & power the Kappas with amp too. I have seen a couple of scoobys on here with a 10" sub installed on rear passesger footwell, with amp under seat.

I will need a shallow enclosure for it & have amp sitting on piece of MDF under seat that can be slid out along with enclosure whenever needed. (for occasional trackdays & to keep car in the spirit of Spec c!! )
But not sure on what type of speaker would work with such a small enclosure. Which speaker is not too tall & can produce good, in car bass, sitting in a small enclosure? Any help much appreciated

 

Ive got 2 x JL8W3 built into the rear footwell of my spec c with a JL 300/4 amp running the components and the subs.The whole setup sounds amazing

 

Do you have any pics or post on install? Thanks.

 

Heres a guide to the ICE upgrade in my Spec C

Here is a quick guide to what i did in my Blobeye.Now you obviously wont install the exact same setup as me but mine does have sensational sound quality and balance with massive midrange and bass

Firstly i removed the standard things they call speakers



Then i fully dynamatted the doors and made up 18mm thick MDF spacers



then i fitted a set of Focal 165K2P component speakers




Then came the build for the subwoofers which comprised of a fibreglass enclosure built into a false floor behind the passenger front seat,dynamatted floor.The subs are JL8w3 and everything is powered by a JL 300/4 amplifier



covered



and the system was finished off with a Kenwood DDX7029 headunit

 

Nice I originally saw ur post, which gave me the idea.
Do 2 X 8 " woofers work out better than 1 or 2 X 10" Subs?

Also will get a friend who is an auto electrician to wire it all up @ friends rates!
All I need to do get hold of the sub/wiring/etc & build the box. (never done it before ) Also is there some kind of bracket I can fit in the boot, to which I can attach the amp to & can quickly detach the amp from with a couple of nut or clips etc?
So just really need advice on what bits to buy & how to build a box, & even with that I can get the help of my mate who is a carpenter (but knows nothing on building enclosures for subs!!)

 

Iv just worked out the cubic feet availiable for sub & its approx 0.65 cubic feet, which means it will have to be just one 8" sub

Interesting DO like the Kicker Solobaric

Hi i noticed you had installed Infinity Kappa 62.7i front spkrs (225w max). Thats what im continplating getting at the mo, did they make alot of difference from the std ones.

thanks stewart

 

Much better clarity, a bit louder, but still quite average setup, especially as I have no rear speakers. (2 speakers only). But I think once they are amplified properly by my JBL amp & a small sub added, the overall sound should be much improved. IMO these Kappa speakers do need to be amplified.

But overall the speakers are very good quality & come with seperate crossovers. You will need to buy those Corsa 6" spacers/adaptors to fit without any hassle

 

Or alternativelt make some MDF ones as Scooby-TC has done. It is fairly straight forward to do.
