Have been chatting to Iain at Soundwerks about getting speakers and sub for my 6. I'm starting to like her lots and will probably keep her a while, so thought i'd get the sounds sorted.

I don't want anything that it going to take up too much space or ruin the car in terms of practicality. Eg i don't want to lose half the boot. I will need that for carrying spares up to Knockhill!

So far i've got the amp picked from JL HD range which will fit under the passenger seat, two ways in the doors and A pillar, but then the issue is the sub.

The only decent sub that works well in a small enclosure is the JL 10" TW3. We could raise the boot level but i'm not keen on that. So he's going to look at fitting up behind the front passenger side dash. I need to take my car in for him to strip it down and have a look.

So i thought i'd ask if there is much space behind or up in there. It only requires about 10cm of depth. Putting the sub up front is the ideal place for it in a car so i'd be quite happy with it going in there.

Now that i've typed that i realise this will have zero value to anyone else here but it's another boring late one at work........

Better off sticking with the boot in my opinion

Will post up on my thread when it's going in. I'm exactly the same hence going for mid range stuff rather than trying to do a loud SQ car. The Class AB amp alone would be more than the cost of all the bits i'm having go in. The plan is to put the amp under the passenger seat, but i'll ask if sub can go there and amp elsewhere.




It's a last resort as there are slight time alignment/echo issues and mostly in terms of practicality i want to be able to dump wheels and tools in the boot. Trying to keep it looking relatively low keyl.



Thanks. Will have a look through some of the photos on here for some clues as to what can be done. And pass on to Iain.

The shelf would just rattle its tits off. The subwoofer wants to be fixed to something secure and rattle free









So not a 306.

Lots of space to the left of the blower motor under the dash, although it might be where the glove box goes. There's loads of space there that my cage takes up.

Why would you need to? Rarely go wrong.
Worth doing the heater matrix though. Dash off isn't too long once you've done it once.

There are two different versions, read up on which is right for aircon cars

From my limited experience, get cheap rear fill speakers and quality fronts with the tweets in the a pillar firing across and not into the windscreen, with a good source, sub and amp.

I dont bother with rears but nice to have for rear passengers.

I'm having skinz sound deadening put in the doors and boot. And 6.5" speaker will be mounted in mdf collar.

To be honest when it comes to sound stuff, i tend to ask what the guys who do it for a living recommend because (if you trust them) they can put cheaper stuff together that works well, rather than putting mismatched more expensive gear together. Very much like the guys here who have worked out which tyres, suspension, etc work on the 6.

I have a pioneer dehp88 running the show and a brand new jl audi 300/4v2 to run the fronts just can't decide what go for up front and or what to do about some nice bass ? I'm getting on a bit and gone are the days of having heavy bass rolling out the car - I was thinking a good set of well amped 3 ways on the shelf would do the trick ?

I have the ability to run the head unit in tri mode and go active as well mind

Still have that P88 headunit I sold you then? Miss that headunit!

Trouble with the fronts is keep the stock grill covers means your very limited to the speaker you can have

Just put it in the boot.
