What's your stereo setup?

[BMW BMXER]

why are subs dumb in an e30?

[UNHCLL]

yeah the R'Active muffler is weak sauce.... Previous owner installed it... actually sounds decent, so i havent bothered to replace it yet.

we'll see how the rest of the projects turn out this spring... maybe I'll have something else on the back end of my exhaust that nobody else has... hehehe

why are subs dumb in an e30?

Because they are heavy. Weight sucks. I like bass and all, but I mean they are heavy. That's why.

Chris, I think it'd be a good idea to rid yourself of that can......

Do a 10 thats easy to remove then. FG box or something. My drives would be sooo boring without my sub. Anyway.

JVC KD Lx50 (Kameleon) Sourse
Rockford Fosgate HCP2205 (Fanactic) 5 1/4"s
Infinity Refrence 5 1/4's
Pioneer 150w x2 300x1 (rms) 300x2 max or 600x1
JL 12" w3v2
False Floor/Wall trunk sub threw ski hole.

if you only do 1 10" sub it's doesn't weight much at all. I'v egot my amp attached to the side of my box so it's real easy to take it out if i'm worried about the weight for some reason.

[rwh11385]

I think it might be ~30lbs I'm guessing, but I dunno. My friend had a 10" Polk in the G20 I sold him and it sounded cool. I'm just too big of a fan of my exhaust and ride to be hauling around any extra weight.

I'm currently stacking box after box of new stuff in my basement, only 2 more items left to arrive in the mail. When my new setup is done I'll post all about it. 8)

[boricuabimma']

well I have a pretty cheap setup, but I'm glad that I have something ;)

Planet Audio Amp
Boss Parametric EQ
Cheap Speakers
Front: Xplod 6"
Rear: Cuspid 6x9"
4 audiobahns 12"
Pioneer CD player
and tweeters
(Damn I don't have the stock door tweeter pods :()

I guess that's all

I did all the wiring myself

You dont like the Alpine Type-R? Everyone I know loves em.

[Brew]

Its a great sub for the money. Very comparable to the Kappa Perfect, I think. Nice tight and clean sound.

[natorious]

not everyone who drives an e30 drives it only in auto-x i drive mineon 3+ hour trips semi-regularly and i dont care if you car is a f355 with a tubi exhaust... 3 hours of 75-80 mph exhaust drone is not a nice thing...

i good stereo is a must in my cars...


and infinity kappa perfect = too fragile and alpine type r = mediocre

too much marketing hype not enough actual performance...

[ColdAccord]

i had type s's, type r's are tighter than type s's, and my s's sounded great. very clear and clean. then i got round solobarics, which were very LOUD

now i have one square 10" solobaric L7. i'm hoping to hook it up within the next couple days

[Sean]

I'll be autocrossing with my car, but will also have a sub. I'll make it removeable though, so all I need to do is unlatch it, and its out. ;)

set-up

Current set-up:

Sony CDX-660 (not my favorite but free) has the 10 preset buttons at the bottom
Stock BMW premium sound speakers with stock amplifier.
The old stuff actually sounds better than the setup in my jeep and the bmw speakers are 17 years old.

Custom built angled sub box with 2 12 inch traction-helpers (in winter anyways)
They are Reactor subs, 3 years old and pounding like new.
I run an 800 watt Power Acoustic amplifier.

Future set-up:

Alpine head unit, probably 9815
Infinity speakers up front and out back

2 12 inch alpine type-r's more than likely
possibly keep the same amplifier.

If you think some of you guys have some "weight" in the back check out the set-up my friend and I built for a civic......

LOL, you know some one is a bass-head when they have 2 12"s in the trunk and stock mids in the cab.
