Things that go bump - 9/12/2008 1:18:33 PM    musicman Posts: 1377 Joined: 3/27/2008 From: St. Helens, Oregon Status: online I''ve never had a subwoofer in a car before, so I figured that I should give it a try. My camaro had that jbl amp in it when I got it, so I built a box yesterday, and got some carpet, glue, and the speaker from walmart for a total of about $60. I know squat about sound systems, but the box is sealed nice, and there should be enough air space for that 10". I''m not a radio nut, so this setup is just fine for my purposes. It does vibrate the mirrors though, kinda fun to listen to The two metal strips are out of my old 79 Jeep. They look ok on there if you ask me. _____________________________ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3103444 14.987 with the V6 T5 Camaro in the 1/4 Post #: 1

I wonder how I can turn the woofer down, my mirrors keep moving, and it makes my chest feel funny.  I think it''s too much for my taste, lol _____________________________ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3103444 14.987 with the V6 T5 Camaro in the 1/4 (in reply to 02StanGT) Post #: 3

You might check for one on yours. _____________________________ 1999 Mountaineer AWD 5.0 - 4300K HID, MAC CAI, Sniper Tuning, PMAS 75mm MAF 1997 RS - 4300K HID lows and 3000K fogs, HPTuner, Bolt-ons...

I have a couple questions about the amp 1. Can you tell me the model number 2. Is the amp bridgeable  3. Is it setup in mono as it should be if it is bridgeable. Now if you want to turn the bass down then just adjust it with your HU or set the gain lower like 02StanGT suggested. But if i where id take great pleasure in showing of that fancy box of yours it adds a certain look like you really care about your car which im sure you do. Il post a vid here soon of my finished box. Mines gonna sit up higher because i need alot more room for my subs. (in reply to musicman) Post #: 6
