Sub suggestion for an audio noobie

Vaibe · 12-12-2014, 02:29 AM

This is what is currently in my car, Polk DB6501.

I'm looking to get a subwoofer and amp as well, I've decided I'm going to go with these, as they are small and will fit behind my seat.

What's a good priced amp that'll power these two?

Is he wanting to amp everything?

RonRizz · 12-13-2014, 04:29 AM

Ahhh... good question. I was assuming just for sub...... OP??

Vaibe · 12-14-2014, 07:36 PM

Ah sorry! Yeah, I'd like to amp the components and sub as well. Thanks

Do you know what would be the best way to mount the sub box behind the seat, like so:

I guess the amp was well, do you just drill holes and screw it in? Or...

I hate them mounted there....ever think about behind the rear cross bar under the carpet.

Where the foam piece is? Then I'd have to get like 2 8's, right? Or I guess just one, but two would be better!

daveb91 · 12-16-2014, 05:55 PM

I'm talking about the amp... Yes where the foam piece is.

I bought the 8" one and it will be laying flat by my rear strut brace with velcro. Easy peasey and can take it out quickly.

yah, i have issues when these things have accessibility problems to my spare and tools under the trunk floor. i want to get the hell back home if i had a flat.

kenchan · 12-27-2014, 01:43 PM

that said, i would get one that fits behind or under the driver/passenger seat forward of the rear tower bar.
