This forum can be used (abused?) for discussion about sound equipment. I'm into sound systems for auto, built a decent system for a couple hundred. I know there are a lot of talented people on this truck board network, let's hear about some of your sound systems! And, for the ones just getting started, let's hear a few questions.

where would you put a sub in a 67-72 with the in cab gas tank? not much room under the seat

A pair of shallow 8" or 10" subs would fit, one on each side. I've seen it done with JL Audio W0's before.

I moved my gas tank out back & under (where GM shoulda put it!), and designed my own enclosure for a 12" dual voice coil sub. There was room for twin kicker boxes with 8" woofers & top mounted tweeters. I found room for 6 other speakers in that cab, also.

Shallow? You mean behind, or under the seat? I have my seat all the way back, and have about 6-7" at the base of the seat. I have a sony 1000w amp, driving one pair in each door (yes, 4 6x9s in the doors), and want to get another amp for a pair of subs, but the only issue is who has slim subs that don't cost a fortune. Any ideas? I'm not too knowledgable on this. THe amp issues is taken care of, just speakers are needed. Thanks.

I have seen a bazoka type mounted next to the gas tank on the P\S where the jack goes.

With the gas tank out of the cab, there is more than enough room for subs.

would you go with 2 10s or 12s? whats a good brand for subs? JL, Rockford, Infinity($$$)?

My truck doesn't have a system yet, but I'm working on it. I got a radio for the truck from a board member, I just haven't installed it yet.

My van on the other hand does. I'm running the Pioneer DEH-P47DH special fit headunit (45x4 peak, 22x4 rms). 2 4x6"s in the front stock locations and 2 6-3/4" rounds in the back stock locations off the headunit amp.

The back has a Rockford Fosgate Punch 1200w amp with remote bass controller pushing 2 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch P3 subwoofers.

All powered by a Optima yellowtop battery through 8ga Rockford Fosgate wiring to a 1 farad Stingpro digital capacitor.

It's obnoxious when I want it to be, but sounds very good the other times. I bought a Radioshack dB meter that read to 125dB and was just maxxing it out.

This was my first stereo install with some modifications. Originally I had 2 12" jensens powered by a 500w jensen amp. The amp died so I upgraded a bit. My next addition is gonna be components in the front and back running off a seperate amp and a headunit upgrade. Maybe in-dash DVD :hmm: ?? I doubt that though. I need to save money for the truck so that stuff will be a while off.

I have in the installed about 10 other stereo systems and have learned alot along the way.

Pics are as follows:
1. Pioneer headunit
2. Remote bass controller
3. Capacitor, Amp, Subs
4. Battery and in-line fuse

Let me know what you think/suggest/have questions about. If you are near me and need help with car or home audio let me know.

ive put a 12" sub in a custom box firing down between two bucket seats. and pioneer makes a sub called a flat panel its only 4" thick ive put two of those under a bench seat and they sounded great. I hear you can get them for about 150 a piece.
