Most bang for your buck! whats in your trunk?

[SterlingVMoses]

While I appreciate the effort and responses, I wish you guys would read the whole thread before replying. I bought the car for next to nothing and the trunk leaks so I will not be putting any electronics in the trunk until I can figure out the leak situation. I received these subs and amp for free so I'm going to use what I have and not spend any money on anything that isn't a necessity for the car.

Maybe I should've just started a new thread. I feel bad for hijacking this one and I can see how it could also get confusing. I just want to know if anyone has mounted subs anywhere other than the trunk. If not, guess I'm going to pioneer something (forgive the shitty pun ) and try to figure it out myself.

Lol I can relate to taking the cheapest route possible..so here's my suggestion..find out where the leak is coming from..if you determine the leak is just the trunk seal, that's pretty much a $5 trip to the junk yard to fix or a $15 trip to AutoZone give or take a few bucks. If that's the end of it then you're fine to put the subs in the trunk no problem. If it's bigger than that, you're probably talking a hole in the trunk itself, which is a more expensive fix and may not be really worth it for you honestly. Either way, another solution to the issue is mounting.the amp under your seat and just running the speaker wires to the trunk. It won't hurt anything unless it's a REALLY bad leak.

I was thinking along those same lines. I found that the recess that the trunk sits in has gotten some cancer around where the trunk arms are and the PO cleverly covered up the spots with black duct tape and I didn't even see it until earlier today. I don't know if there is an easy fix for that but at least I found the problem...

A little bit of silicone and my trunk no longer leaks. Put my (2) 10s in a box, mounted my amp, and ran all the wires. Turns out my amp is completely F'd so I'm still rocking out in all treble.

You can always get a cheap amp from Wal-Mart for your setup..won't hurt a bit.

My buddy has a few sitting around. I just have to get off my ass and go over there.

In other news, the trunk leak is not fixed as I believed it to be. On to the taillight seals next...

I personally have a thing for Sundown. I have one single SA10-d4 in a 3 cu.ft box tuned to 35hz, running off a Power Acoustik reaper 2200 And its only running about 700w @4 ohms. People always assume i have two twelves, or a 15, and i love the reactions when i pop the trunk. Noone ever expects a low power setup to be so loud. For the rest of the car i have an old mtx road thunder 250w amp powering 4 decent pioneer speakers i picked up at Walmart for about 70 bucks a pair. Now that im starting a new build, Ill be switching up the stereo setup, just havent really decided what to go with yet. Definitely getting a second sa10-d4 for sure. Call me a fanboy, But my subs been going for about two and a half years now, and i bought it used from someone who had it, along with 9 others running on 2200rms Each. The quality speaks for itself

Sundown! I haven't heard that name in a while. Good to know they are still in business

[vincenity_23]

[sonikaccord]

All radios sound the same...kind of
