I have a 15" JL Audio. Keeps up with most music, BUT it wont stand a chance against Hardcore. being a BIG fan of Scott Brown. I tried one of those CD's, Didn't sound half as good as my mates 2 12". BUT it always drops a good bassline for Hip Hop, Rap and Drum n Bass. i also like playing Sound-off CD's;)

Matt, 1 or 2 12"s would be better IMO, will be a touch punchier than a 15" (on the whole)

im getting a new sub soon, do you not recommend a 15" one? Running a shitty splX 350w amp at the moment, but hopefully getting an 800w one given to me. I like my drum n bass, dance, hardcore etc. Possiblt 2x 12"?? Any suggestions welcome!

The 15 is no use for normal listening. It's awful on dance/trance tracks.

That is why I am on about putting a 12 in for normal driving.

ahh right... nice pic.

How did you go about getting the side panels to fit right into the sie plastic panels of the boot. Was it just a case of trying to cut the mdf to roughly the same shape of the side?

Or was it a case of fingers crossed that the bulbs wont go?


To get access to the right hand tail light bulbs you had to take out the EQ and there was a hole behind it, and to get to access to the left hand tail light bulbs you could get behind the CD changer.

This picture should hopefully shed some light:

What multimedia have you got then?

Not sure what head unit to get at the moment as I want to keep the steering wheel controls.

I've got a nice Panasonic tape unit with a MP3 player running through it at the moment :lol: (Needed the RCA, but didn't want to buy another head unit)

I am, but I thought I would go a bit mad with this car :lol:

As I say I think I am going to modify the install so I can locate a single Phoenix Gold Tantrum out of sight, and change the box fof the sub so I can remove it and plonk a single JL W3 v2 in it's place for normal driving.

This thing drops too low for normal cruising tunes, but will probably set off car alarms at cruises :lol:
