kicker 10" slim sub box + extras

[ChrisNZ]

hi guys, my first post here

looking to upgrade the sound system for my 1990 sw20.

so far i have purchased fusion 6x9s, a new head unit with aux, something the jvc charmeleon deck is missing now in the car, i have also purchased a 5 channel fusion amp, im still looking to buy a suitable sub and am tossing up between buying a 400 rms kicker 10" boxed sub that is made for utes so will fit nicely behind the passenger seat with no seat blocking, or building my own custom boxes to hold a sub and 6x9 behind passenger seat and the amp and 6x9 behind driver. which would be better cost wise and sound wise?

can anyone reccomend another place to mount the 6x9s and an installer who knows mr2?

thanks guys

IMO take the 6x9s back. You don't need them with a sub. A good pair of mids in the doors, and tweeter in the factory spot and a single 8" or 10" is ample in an MR2.

6x9s are for kids that can't afford a sub and amp package.

Along the lines of sub boxes, to make oodles of room for some and still have the space for Your t's, can those box things behind the seat be removed?

[ChrisNZ]

the box behind the passenger will be built down into the little area where i assume the factory sub was, the drivers one will sit on top, they will be removeable.

the speakers behind the seats, near the seat belt mounts are what size?is it easy to replace them?

thanks for your help

Sorry. I was referring to the boxes that are there standard, not the ones You are creating.

[ChrisNZ]

oh right,

i suppose you could cut them out as ive seen on other sub installs but the one im making will fit down into the top of the compartment

thanks

you really want to make a custom box that will fit behind the seat and allow you to recline if you want to, I'd recomend a high quality 8" with a set of components, will be more than enough bass for you dude, its a tiny cabin
