Ponch you had better not be tuning that sub to shit like todays rap. You will have it terribly out of tune and it will sound like crap on anything musical. A 10" in a sealed box should be tuned to hit hard and clean. I have a whole CD that I tuned my sub into. It may sound strange but you will know you have it right when Earth Wind and Fire sounds good. Covers almost every frequency. It will help you tune the level of the sub to match your interior speakers as well so that it is not overpowering. Now..... if I hear it and all it is is shitty bass and your car sounds like it is going to explode I am putting my fist through the sub.

don't take the fun out of it Dan....you don't have to be so serious, it's not like Ponch is entering sounds competitions or anything....

remember, it's all for fun!!

FreeRideFrosty · (#232 (**permalink**))

Absolutely. I look at it differently than most. Where some people think its fun to have the loudest, muddiest, sounding bass, I loved to have the best sounding and most balanced sound. More importantly if he doesn't know what he is doing and it is tuned wrong, the signal can start clipping and damage his sub.... Luckily that Type R is probably the best sub he could have. Virtually bomb proof. Haha

Hey-

I got a question. Got my wiring today.
So yeah... What is the easiest way to do this? I've read about through the firewall and under the carpet in the interior. The under the carpet part wouldn't be too hard, it's just the firewall part.

Or, some were saying that they routed it along the frame. Seems easy enough. But how do I get it back into the interior CLEANLY? I don't think there's a way...

destroy_my_revo_15 · (#234 (**permalink**))

yep. gotta find a place through the firewall. thats the only way ive seen it done. clean.

Ponch · (#235 (**permalink**))

Damn. I don't think I can even reach the firewall...That engine compartment is PACKED.

destroy_my_revo_15 · (#236 (**permalink**))

yeah. thats gonna suck. did you look at alldata for the radio wiring to see which one is the power. you prolly want to know that too before you go and take it all apart.

Michowski · (#237 (**permalink**))

dude just strip the car clean, remove the motor, all interior, and all the fenders and run your damn wires. Figure it out cheech

jeeeze. if you go that far you should prolly dynamat the whole thing too.

Ponch · (#240 (**permalink**))

Haha. Well I think I found my route. Will only req one hole to be drilled too, and nowhere near the engine. It goes up by the top door hinge, down the edge of the door, and in by where your feet are.

Look OK?
