 Posted: Sun Jan 16, 2005 6:47 pm Post subject: Fitting Sub In Ute |
 |
|
Hey Guys,
Just thought and opinons into installing a 10 or 12icnh sub into a BA XR8 ute. The guys at AutoBarn have told me i can run a sub off that headunit using some inverter box they sell (cant remember name if it), and mount the sub into a modified box sitting behind the seat, just wondereing if someone has seen or has got a sub in there Ute.
Cheers,
Jason |

yea i thought of that as well, but wasnt going to spend that amount of money, maybe i could change therear speakers in it (has the premium sound installed) just want a bit more bass, as the splits work wonders in it, does anyone knows what size there are, 6 x 9 or 7 x 10...
cheers,

| I saw somewhere this package that's a sub and amp combo. It's all in one box type thing. I think they can fit like underneath the seat or something. Might be something to consider. Interceptor may have an idea on what I'm going on about... |

nah, dont go for the small underseat jobs, they're f**k useless
you can actually get a decent sized box behind the seats in AU/BA utes without sacrificing legroom as long as you're under 6' or so.....
join up on www.caraudioaustralia.com and ask a guy called KAL SPL about the setup he's doing in an XR6 ute
but yea, you'll need a speaker level->RCA converter to feed the speaker signal into an amp unless the amp has high level inputs.... |

| yeah entirely do able, seen 4 10" JLw3's in a maloo, best sound i've ever heard, small cabin equals losta sound, juss stick a sub(or two if u love bass) behind the seats, if you wanna leave the stocky headunit in then you splice the speakers and get an amp that has a line converter to run the speaker cable instead of rca's, honestly i suggest replacing the standard radio for something better, then go the sub, 10's will sound good 12's will sound better but very loud |

As far as I know that'd be very hard to do in a BA as the headunit is part of the dash and that! |

| yeah i got an alpine catalog and there is a 8 inch sub with an amp, it a 300watt peak power and its all properly made up. i think 300watt(s**t rating) would be about 100wrms or so. |

Cheers guys, i was thinking of 1 of those under seat jobs, but havent heard much about them, was just thinking of getting a box made to suit, and have the sub in the middle behind the console, just wondering if anyone had seen of got one set up in there Ute, that i could get some ideas from.
Thanks for everything.

Jason
