E30 Sound Help Please?

[ImysE30]

Probably won't fit though

[sati]

iam thinking you might be able to fit an 15" sub with off shelf box as if you lay it on it back its only 15.5" high say about 16.5" with sub at a full x-max. if so then 2x15" in an e30 will pull it apart , did an vaxhall astra with 4 x 15" that car was a death trap on wheels, it was like the national grid in the boot!

[ImysE30]

It would rattle like mad though, wouldn't it?
Aceraf on here had 4 x 15" vibe subs in his nissan sunny (pulsar shape). That was awesome, you could hear him a mile away

[sati]

e30 are rather good the only things the shake around are the boot lid and petrol flap.



video of me testing my jbl's while i was sorting the engine out , running off battery and 50amp booster. and yes there vw golf wheels ,lol

[sati]

had sum more , sum were, but it was lould!

[ImysE30]

Thats foooking crazy dude

[ImysE30]

Here are some pics Sati, what you think?

[sati]

like the clean boot (well for now, lol) , wats the height from the floor to the lowest part of motor. width between tower's.

[sati]

and the maxium depth you like the box to be , then i can give to the area the you got to play with. and i can also run in it a few programs to give a output level.

[ImysE30]

I measured 11" height, width is 35" and depth i would reckon about 20"

[sati]

3.40cuft with 3/4 mdf , looks like you going to be running 10" subs.

3 inch wide by 15.5 inchs deep = 35hz
3 inch wide by 7.1 inchs deep = 45hz


box design will be up in a few mins

[ImysE30]

Yeah i am thinking 2 10" subs, either vibe or alpine

You getting too technical for me know lol
What does that mean?

Ok cool

[sati]

this is how your box will look like

[ImysE30]

This box will look like the one Mr Lee has got right?
What is the plate in the middle for?

[sati]

lol , hz= hertz (is a measure of frequency, defined as the number of cycles occurring per second. frequency of 1 Hz is equal to one cycle per second.) in layman's terms sealed box will be tight and punchy bass , ported box will get loulder as it get near its tunning fq (hz) and will need less power to get same output from a sealed box. higher the fq of the box the less musical it gets.

street bass = 25 - 45hz(great for music , not good for spl) Spl bass = 45-70hz (poor for normal listening of music)

the port width is 3inches from the inside.

[sati]

no this will be a normal rectangle box , as showen in the pic , if you go with a angled front face then you will have to have the bottem of the box longer then the top and cut at 45 dergees. the plate in teh middel is your PORT aka vent , this will help get the most out of your subs and amp.

[ImysE30]

I get you know, i'll try giving it a go on the weekend and post up pics of my workmanship lol

What you reckon to these sub's?

Any other idea's?

[ImysE30]

With the box only being 9.5" in height, how will 10" subs fit?

[sati]

you dnt cut a 10" hole , you need to cut a 9" - 9.25" hole.

[sati]

only if can find a pair of jbl gt3-10 they will blow u away best sub's jbl made. (got a gt3-15 in my room)

[dazleeds]

only if can find a pair of jbl gt3-10 they will blow u away best sub's jbl made. (got a gt3-15 in my room)

i have the same 15 and the 10 somewhere round the house
agree they are a very good 10" wish i had a pair

[ImysE30]

you * I tried to use text speak but the text speak filter stopped me * cut a 10" hole , you need to cut a 9" - 9.25" hole.

I got you now, guess i got myself a busy weekend

Thanks for all the info and help, much appreciated
If you come across 2 decent 10" subs and a amp, let me know

[sati]

[ImysE30]

I might go for the Kicker's, got a 15" kicker and it sounds awesome.

[sati]

amp wise the vibe slick will take these subs on with ease..

"dazleeds" if you want to sell the 15" jbl let me knw and its in good shape may do a nice install in my sister's car ,lol , as mine i had to take the cone off had to replace the leads to the coil. so at the mo iam running 2 x10" splx subs 400watts peak and 150rms in a bandpass box and its loud but not as deep as the 15.


"ImysE30" no probs mate , just go to B&Q and tell them to cut it for you , and u will have a flat pack sub box , pick up sum stong wood gule put it on each joint with screws (drill the hole in the wood with a 1.5/2mm drill bit). i will get sum pic's of a box build i did for my mates 306 even a video if iam kind ,lol.

[sati]

alright guy's , iam off to watch top gear as i missed it wen it came on , i will be back........lol

[Ajk82]

Vibes are good get one 15 inch in the boot that should do the job get a PHAT amp as well to go with it and your fixed oh and a heavy head unit lol for a good nice sound i guess your going to spend about £325 all in thats what i THINK maybe im wrong ? But my sound is crap atm should be done by summer i hope if we have one lol

[ImysE30]

Sorry for totally hi-jacking your thread dude
15" will be too big for my boot

[Ajk82]

Na 15 will be cool trust me take it out of the box and the back spare wheel stick it in there sound proof it my mate done it to his one sounds wicked

[Ajk82]

Or you could get those kicker 8 or 9 inch subs they kinda do the job i suppose

[ImysE30]

I'd like to keep my spare wheel
I'm probably going to go with Kicker or Vibe 10"

[ImysE30]

This is what i have in my Honda Civic
