Also, where you mount your speakers, in particular your tweeters, effects the sound. Will the tweeters be aimed at your windscreen or angled straight at you from the top of the door? Reflected sounds sometimes sound bad. ive been doin custom installs for about 8 years and in my experience in keeping the tweeter closer to the speaker gives best results. also i listen to heavy rock and some doof and i have 2 pioneer 12"s and pioneer mono block pioneer splits "bullet series" front and back with an alpine deck and it is a pretty mad sounding system but still didnt pop out my tail lights....lol

they will be fitted inside the air vents which means they will be pointing towards the door window, so not directly at your head. Will this be acceptable?

hey air bags ive had a lot of differn't brands and listend to alot of peoples advice and what ive found is that something might sound sick to you but crap to someone else. ive got focal splits they were $250 but i still think my $80 kicker co ax's sound way better than them. steer clear from sony there crap. good luck we have all been in your shoes

I have a V12 Alpine that is rated at 340rms x 1 at 14.4v. I am after a well matched sub preferably 12 inch. What should I look for and what model would you suggest. If it helps I have alpine cd/mp3 player and 3 way Mb quart components running form seperate V12. rear fill only 6x9's pioneer 4way. by any chance does anybody around wollongong have any 12 PVC pipe to make a tube type box for sub?
