I drive a firebird and was wondering if better subs would really make that big of a difference in my car. The subs i have now are in a custom fit box in the trunk/hatch and i can hear none of the disortion coming from them because the bass is basically reverbing off the rear window and the subs are too far away to actually hear the distortion. I was just wondering because i was thinking of getting some alpine type Rs and they are supposed to be higher quality, but if it makes no difference i dont want to spend money that i dont have to spend.
I have the new body style its a 1995 firebird. The box is a sealed box(thats about the biggest box that will fit). My amps are boss iq 2160s(yeah I know they aren't any good) my subs are power acoustik(i know they aren't the best either). they are dual voice coil 4 ohm each coil.
from that, yes I believe you'd be better off with better subs and amplifiers in that car.
you would get higher output going to a ported enclosure as well.
is it a t-top car? if it is consider where you are going to put the tops when they are out too. if not i know its kinda funky but there is a little bit of hatch space there to get creative with. i had a 92 (yea i know different body) with a single 15 and two 12's in the hatch. it aint easy but its fun..
Alright I believe better subs do make a difference because i hooked up the old style rockford fosgate punch he2 that I had and it made a big difference in the quality of sound.
Do better subs make a difference in my car?
