Well, anything is suitable...what do you want in your setup, sound quality (SQ) or loudness (SPL)?

[mini_lad_1990]

clear but loud!!!

[Ouster]

Well, if you want clear sound then ditch the 6x9s, and set aside over £100 for a decent set of components.

[mini_lad_1990]

so ditch 6x9s and just pod the componants??
my mste has the same sort of pod but aint havin any bass at all and it sounds awsume!!

starting them next week so will keep it posted

[Ouster]

Awesome, make sure to stick some pictures up.

[mini_lad_1990]

a little update people just been playing with a few designs desided to ditch the 6x9 in the pod and have a 6.5" on its own the mini aint quite big enough haha

i just been playing with a few ideas and this is the best one i have came up woth im looking forward to making it now haha]
hope you like it dont be afraid to tell me the truth

cheers

Well, i am not afriad not at 1am anyway.

Move the tweeter up into the dash/a pillar area.

Mucho better.

[mini_lad_1990]

dont know i will have to have a play with it as i will be havin 4.25 or 5.25 speakers in the dash where the air vents are haha

[jwb_moto]

what about getting these to save alot of buggering about.



door cards

Id definatelyput your tweeters up on the dash rail like mark says though.

Ive gone for a pair of 6.5" comps up front in pods, a pair of 6.5" coaxes on rear shelf for a bit of rear fill and a pair of 6.5" subs uder the rear seat for my boom boom LOL

Ive gone for kicker ks65.2 comps

rainbox slx265 deluxe coaxes

and a pair of jl audio 6w0 subs.

[mini_lad_1990]

i was looking at them but i dont think it will suit the car they look like they came off the mini with the mahusive body kit haha
and i enjoy making things like this be interesting!!

also im looking at 6" vibe componants to stay with the vibe set up the only thing i may do is use some sony explode in the dash for voise

Components will give you better sound if you fit them properly, rather then having to fit a set of coaxials aswell.

[mini_lad_1990]

yea i was always going for componants mate i like the kits you get
the ones im looking at are loud as hell haha

[Ouster]

to stay with the vibe set up

Don't bother sticking with the same brand throughout. Unless it's an advertising/show car then you're just limiting your options.

[mini_lad_1990]

i meant with the vibe componant set up i aint having the same through the car cause some makes are better in some areas than others ect ect
