KKtrips Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Whats the cons of taking a sub-box with a 12"er in the front and then plonk 2 6x9's in the side of it. Pros = more room in my wag and less fucking around with wiring when I want to move it. Obviously I'm not worried about having a class A sound - more just so I can unplug a few wires and then carry box of sounds to the front seat and make more room in the back for maxin and relaxin..

mjrstar Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 If it's a sealed box I can't imagine the 6x9's lasting too long with the pressure of the sub... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escorto. Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 If you had seserate internal areas for the speakers I see no problem. If you were going to run a pair of 6x9's and a sub in the same enclosure it'd sound shithouse, would be better of not running the sub at all. The sub-woofer would steal sound/bass from the 6x9s and theyd be fighting each other all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Just make devisions so the 6x9's aren't in the sub enclosure and it will be lush. I'm no sound/air pressure expert but sharing a box would surely not make for happy 6x9's? well you would think it would hamper their mid range response at least.

KKtrips Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Ah yep - thats the answers I wanted - so either don't do it or seperate their airspace if I do.. Cheers Mr Escorto/Roboto that may be the solution I need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 reverse polarity of 6x9 so they work with the sub? ditch the 6x9's get a good/useable set of 6" mids/components up front? roll subless on the odd ocassion you want space : I do this and I am very odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 screw current 6x9 boxes to side of sub box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cullen Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 screw current 6x9 boxes to side of sub box? i used to rock this. but 6x9s are shit use 6s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hide one of those "under seat" subs somewhere? they wont live up to a well boxed and amped 12"but if you get a decent one they certainly add that extra punch. Buick has a fuck tonne of space under the seat so 2 of these are going to be my compromise instead of a normal sub that would take up precious dickie seat/sleeping space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 ditch the 6x9's get a good/useable set of 6" mids/components up front Best option thur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 ditch the 6x9's get a good/useable set of 6" mids/components up front I have a Commodore therefore the front wheelwells drip like a Hawaii hooker the day after the ship gets into port so front speakers is not really an option at the mo.. However this option is what I had actually imagined when Mr Roboto made his suggestion - LOL - its only sounds and pristine is not high on the priority.. screw current 6x9 boxes to side of sub box?

Gaz Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Another thing is that with the two 6x9s so close together you wont get the same effect as if they were on either side of the vehicle. Not a major really but something to consider. Also 6x9s are not needed when using a sub, use 6inch if you are looking to buy/aint already got gear.

JoKer Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 hory great holes in the doors for mids/play with fibre glass/mdf make some pods if they aint deep enuff? (thinking out loud) keep it simple, sub box sitting on seat dont sound like a grand Idea either : belt it in (bet you were gunna do that anyway) edit : can give ya the mounts/doorcards out of my spare 250T/green wag if you wanna butcher something?

KKtrips Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Rocking no sub when I don't need space in the back wouldn't work cos almost everytime I take it out somewhere and have sounds I will be wanting to use the back to sleep/hang out in it. So I would end up never having sub in the boot - which is pointless. Sub box would sit in the boot of the wag on a hard surface and I'll only be chucking it on the front seat when I've parked up for the night and need the room. Just so it stays dry and out of the way.. Also I've already got 6x9's, 12" sub, 2 amps and boxes.. Hehe guess I should have done some research before/will replace 6x9's with 6ers when they blow up/get damaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 if you ave the gear then all good. id just screw them to the sub box mang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
