Title: Alternatives to boot fitted sub/amp
Post by: bluebert92 on June 10, 2017, 12:54:32 pm
I don't know a great deal about audio set ups - I fancy an upgrade for my audio set up in my golf but my boot space is non negotiable and was wondering if there was an underseat set up or any other viable alternatives?

I'm not looking to be a boom box car just something with a bit better range and sound quality really

I had looked at this previously to match up with my Focal 6.5"'s in my Alhambra:  https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/focal-ibus-2-1-20cm-8-under-seat-active-subwoofer-active-bass-tube-2-1-system.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwse7JBRCJ576SqoD7lCkSJABF-bKuLYYrFnDJpawkHmbxOBAdkJ9eR48xgIUlu8dHsw1-LxoC8dfw_wcB

Looks like a decent bit of kit to me, and has a 2 channel amplifier for the fronts.  Haven't gone that route yet, so cannot comment on how good it actually is, but Focal make good stuff.

That looks like the ticket to me! I'll show this to my apprentice who's a massive audio nerd on Monday and probably order it then!

JL audio do a good set of speakers!
Ive got a full setup in the front and back wired to a 4channel amp. Sounds the absolute nuts!
Then Ive got two alpine 12" 1krms subs in the back hahaha.
Theyre absolute beasts!! Need a new amp and wiring kit to go from 4gauge to 0gauge.

I love sound systems and have wired everything up myself. Hook me up if you have and questions

You can also have the option of a sparewheel sub e.g

Fits into the spare not deleting it, may have to rearrange the tools though
