We can probably extend the top of the enclosure you have illustrated UP to just under the AC/Heater unit... That may give you the ability to flatten the front of the enclosure out a little.

You may also want to think about making the subs fire onto the firewall area and have an inch or two of space from the firewall and the bottom of the woofer. Still having the woofers in a sealed enclosure of course. Think of it liek a downfiring setup, except aimed to the firewall instead of down.

I'm looking for dimensions, then I could mock up in place. How much bigger than the L6s are the I6SW?

Sqcomp... did you just change your avatar?

I just couldn't stop thinking about it, here are some pictures with the L6 rings, they are about 8" in diameter. I sit down for a minute to see how bad it is, It's ok as long as you don't want to stretch your legs.

Now I have to calculate how much space is behind there, and take in consideration the thickness of the MDF if any. May have to glass the area and fill it up and check the internal volume.

Here's the thing, you could shrink down the trim rings, specially in the center. I would definitely recommend glassing. The trick is making the enclosure go up BEHIND the dash around the heater core. Now, this is where cabosil type material will help you. I'd like to be able to see you shrink down the space that is taken up in the foot-well.

...and yes, I changed the avatar. I'm thinking about something else. I got my hands on some vintage gear...they don't make it like that anymore.

SQ, I have a friend who gets older stuff at flea markets for use at his trailer on the river! I've told him more than once, he should restore and resell this stuff but he wants it for cheap sound that wont matter when it floods! GRRRrrr

And by the way, a nice McIntosh blue would look good in your Avatar....I'm just sayin.....

*Meh* I can say I sold this bad boy yesterday:


^6 channel. 4 channels X 100w, 2 channels X 300w. Dual illuminated output level meters. Power Guard. Quad MOSFET PWM power supplies. Ported tunnel forced-air cooling. Multi-stage thermal protection. Input level controls. Transient protection. Gold plated terminals. 2ohm stability. Allows internal installation of McIntosh parametric equalizer modules. Includes built-in electronic crossover with selectable high pass and low pass filters. Size 2-3/4"H, 34"W and 12"D. Sold from 1996-. Last retail price $4000.00


I was thinking of snatching it up for myself, but the headroom of my LRx's is more than what this bad boy gives. Still though...That would look SWEET in the back of a Yaris!

The guy who bought it is going to put it to good use. Besides, I favored him anyway, he's running HAT speakers.

Never have checked into their mobile audio stuff. Always liked the home goodies though.....

[sqcomp]

Well...imagine the quality of the home stuff in your car.

[derickveliz2]

I can't believe it!

I moved my sub to the rear seat in the center, I adjusted Time Alignment and went for a ride...

I thought some thing was wrong, where is my woofer? where is all the bass? I moved it around, checked wires, and nothing, after 61 miles I moved it back to the "FRONT" the IDQ came alive!

Location and aiming of a sub, it's very important! experiment and find out your self the best for your system.

I'm saying! You'll notice that the most successful SQ cars are the ones with up front woofers.

Yes I can clearly understand why!

hey! put a set of tweeters in the A pillars...wait. Getting a little bit ahead of myself. I replaced the stock front door speakers with a pair of Polk 6501 components. woofers in the door of course but I was able to install the tweets in the A-pillars. Sweet sound stage. Just have to get another pair for the rear and then the 8 inch subs. By the way, Derick, it looks like there is an appreciable amount of space for a sub under the dash. It would be down-firing and Im not sure about the cubic feet. but I could stick my head in there beside the fan housing. I just took out the glove box. Just throwing that out

Yes, there is some space down there, I'm working very creatively to figure out how to put 2 mini woofers (6.5")
