Im planning on treating myself and the tf this christmas to a subwoofer to enhance the cars speaker system.
now I no a fair bit about bass ive built some monster systems over the years my best being in my old corsa c showcar that was tested at 142.2db but anyway I no even though a double box and amp will fit in the boot (just) but would be poinless as the boot isnt connected to the cockpit and theres a big lump of metal .. known as the engine inbetween. So the only option is an inside cabin underseat active subwoofer... this field of low level bass I dont really know much about.
has anyone got one of these fitted??
Ive looked at a few and the 2 main ones ive picked out are the vibe lite air active sub and the t1 audio t1-20act active sub , both fitted with internal amps both have 900 watts peak and around 185 - 200 watts rms and both have 8 inch speakers.
never heard them in the flesh or any shallow or underseat sub before . I no its not goin to be ear shattering but I am hoping of a descent bit of bass from it.
any info or recommendations or opinions are as allways most welcome
Yea I think theres a few to be honest another one is branded as a "beat" same price and looks the same as the t1
I want half descent bass so il try 2 of the t1 audios for 100 quid a pop it aint that bad maybe because I dont really see how these little shallow subs with tiny rms outputs can generate the type of bass id like in my car . I no im never going to be able to build an ear bleeding system in the tf but want some descent kick in it.
a few years ago I was lookin inro buying a transit van to wall out and fit 6 pioneer dual voice coil subs rated at 2500 watts rms each at 1 ohm . It would of took 6 3000 watt rms monoblock amplifiers , dual alternators 4 optima red top batteries ona split charger system running off the larger amp alternator and 3 5 farad power capacitors . With the boxes ported and tuned down to 43 hrtz it would have kicked out around 160 + db of pure spl street bass heaven ...
Having thought about it and not actually hearing a shallow active sub I may make a u turn and just buy the one for now and see how i get on .
If im happy then thats 100 quid saved which would almost pay for my new tyees come new year .
ive got to tax my 2 cars come febuary and march the cars having some much needed body work and paint doin.
But then ive been reading alot about a lambo door kit for the tf and im very tempted!!
