Throw a PLT-5Powered LAT Subwoofer System by Alpine in your hatch!

Check it out!

Default sound system

Get some amazing deals on system components here!! These guys have the lowest prices I've ever seen--I'm getting a complete 2400W amp, 2 x 10" enclosure (plexi-glassed) and a new head unit with DVD/MP3/CD/TV/iPOD/RCA-Inputs/Outputs/Motorized screen, a wire kit & a bunch of Dynamat for all-together less than $750.

http://www.carstereodiscounts.com/default.asp

All that power, and I'll get to save a lot of space in the car. Here's my basic idea (the components should be coming in today) where I get to enjoy nice sound, and keep the space in my hatch (SORRY FOR THE MESS---I'M FINALLY GETTING THIS CAR BACK ON THE ROAD AFTER 2 YEARS):



I'm going to cut around the box to give me an extra 3-4" head room for the box. Making a trap door for the spare will make sure I can get to it if I get a flat without having to take out my system to do it. I wanted lots of power, while still looking as stock and remaining as functional and practical as possible ;-) Hope this idea can help someone.

I'm going to take another picture when I install the system about 3-4 weeks from now.

Hehe. I guess i can be grateful (sorry dude )

Update: Apparently, remanufactured.com has great deals on the 5MGE engine...but are bad at followup. I called them late last week and they said my engine was supposed to ship on Monday of this week. Well, keep yer fingers crossed ;-). Once everything is in and the car's running, I'll take pics and link to 'em. (I only mention the engine b/c I need the car to run to test the system when it's in)



I also just picked up a 3 Farad capacitor from cardiscountstereos.com for like $80 (clearance). And the wireless mic came in (that's gonna be fun).

How are everyone else's projects coming along?

Default My audio setup

In my opinion the best speakers in terms of clarity, mid's and plenty of high's would be Polk. I used to be a huge infinity fan but lately Polk has just come out with better stuff. I have Polk home theater speakers and have worked in Home Theater for 3 years and Polk have always out performed anything else. But as for the setup in my car it's as follows:

1990 Toyota Supra 88' Turbo 5-speed
Replaced 4" door housings with the 5.25" 91' Housings
Put Polk 5.25" MoMo MMC5250 Speakers
Mounted tweeters on the door panel halfway between the window and the speaker grill (if that makes sense)
Run the Eclipse 7000 Head Unit (Best head-unit I've ever had)
A Kicker
6ZX5502 2-Channel Amplifer 210wx2 (powers the Polk's)
An Ecplipse 10" SW7000 Dual-Coil Subwoofer
10" Prefabricated Sealed Enclosure
Pushed by Eclipse XA1000 Mono Amp

That's all right now. I may add speakers in the back but I don't want to tear it up trying to fit speakers back there, or take up any more space of the hatch with sealed speakers; because I refuse to put 4" speakers back there. I rather have nothing than 4" speakers. They won't be able to keep up with the Polks.

This is a clear sound setup. It's not designed to be heard 3 miles away. It's not the best for everyone because some poeple like loud speakers, some like more mid-range and some like alot of bass from every speaker. In this case you would go with a different brand sub or a higher end Eclipse sub. The SW7000 punches hard enough to shake the cars adjacent to you at a 4 way stoplight, but accurate/tight enough to keep up with any music accurately. I really, really like the sound it produces. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

Thanks


When looking for a subwoofer, keep in mind that we drive hatches and in the way it's designed pretty much any sub will sound pretty good. I would recommend saving some change and putting it towards a better headunit, or better speakers... or better yet a bigger turbo!!
