That's exactly my problem. Whether I'm recording or listening to music, I'm never finding the best sound I can get.


Sorry if i'm not making sense, little drunk.

A lot of it has to do with the better the system gets, the more the components reveal the flaws in mainstream (crappy) recordings.

i may as well redo the sound system :P

it'd cost waaay too much money. first of all its a saturn, then its the SOHC model with an auto tranny... to do most basic bolt ons i'd need to swap th emotor for a DOHC and manual transmission.

maybe i'll just save up mone.. depending on my next car, maybe i'll go with a 145-150dB DD system (music) :P

audiophiles what to have their music reproduced to perfection with very minimal about of bass atleast most of the time. If you think your going on the Audiophile path then the RE SX series subs arnt for you. Youll want something like the old XXX or maybe an SE.

My dad is alway calls me a car audio snob whenever I mention what I'm gonna buy next for my car stereo. He says "Why don't you just buy a set of Sony 6.5"... they fit the doors they're cheap."

I can't imagine...
False floor is usually the MOST space efficient way to go.

For example, in my Civic, my trunk floor is raised only about 4" from the factory floor - still below the sill where my trunklid opens by a couple inches.

The spare tire well is 'glassed (molded over a plastic drop cloth, so as to not be permanently bound to the vehicle - held in place with four large blobs of silicone, and my factory spare tire spindle).

Into the top of the baffle, I fiberglassed my own "new" spare tire well - so that eats up space inside the enclosure too (and made a nifty marble formica lid for it :cool: ).

And even with that extra consideration that most people don't do, I STILL ended up with a whopping 4.5 cu.ft. of actual airspace inside the enclosure. :fing02:

If space is a concern - this really is the best way to go!
