So I'm wanting to upgrade the factory door speakers and add a small subwoofer. Just want something with decent sound quality. As for the subwoofer I just want to add a little bit of depth to technoish type music. I DO NOT want to be that ****ing douchebag rattling windows five cars over. I was thinking maybe a single 8" woofer or something... I would actually prefer that you can't really hear it outside the car. I'm also a total n00b to speakers and whatnot.

Anyone have some reccomendations?

 

A sub box can make a world of difference. Iv heard 8" subs kick as hard as 12" if not harder.

If you want fidelity over loudness, a 10" or 8" in a sealed box is your best bet. I listen to a lot of house, punk, rock, so I want my bass to be precise. You want to stay with a smaller sub such as a 8" or 10" to be able to manage the quick hits. Generally the bigger the sub, the longer the excursion and the more air it takes to move it.

 

I'm sorry; there's absolutely no correlation between any of the factors cited above. That's the kindest way I can put it. If you want me to go into detail, I can explain this further.

 

are you going to install an after-market amp?

 

get an amplified bazooka tube, cheap and provide great fill

 

You should get an amp for the heights and mids and another amp for the sub . Doing that, you can adjust how loud you want everything to be .

 

Do you have one in an Evo? I'm asking, because I own a 8" powered Bazzoka tube. When the Evo is at speed, it's essentially inaudible.

 

yeah, had one, the 10inch 250 watt. mine was actually prety loud. my exhaust was pretty loud at the time also

 

Loud, as in distinct, identifiable notes? Really?

 

yeah sounded good. did you hook yours up right? im thinking 250 watts of anything should be heard

 

250w = ~24.5dBw
Driver sensitivity - ~85dB
Evo at speed with a relatively quiet exhaust - ~100dB C-weighted
Dynamic range - 20dB min

Assuming the driver sees peak power all the time, not going to happen, quite a bit of what's left sits below the noise floor. As such, not everything driven by 250 watts can be heard, especially when the driver isn't acting as a distortion generator. Perhaps we have a different definition of 'heard."

 

Jesus man. U need to get out more often. And 100db at cruise? F*ck, that's the exhaust routed inside the car. U just made all that sh*t up.lol. No worries ,we can't all have the same opinion

 

Then, there's the second option; you could actually learn something about audio. There's a bit more to it than counting watts.
