Ryncewind Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Has anyone stripped out the back of their Glanza then put a sub in somewhere? maybe a sub box behind the front seats? Would like to see some pictures for ideas! Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Subwoofers weigh too much those glow up parcel shelf speakers look the biz. Wish I never sold mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryncewind Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 The sub I've chosen is only an 8 inch one so it won't be like your usual Halfords 12 inch fucker in a box that weighs as much as another rear axle. I also don't have any rear interior so no parcel shelf for speakers, I'm putting speakers and tweeters into the rear quarters. I just need ideas where to put my sub without it looking too out of place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Yeah mate. I got this Then made a false floor and mounted a couple of speakers in boxes to it. yeah it's weight, but it's weight over the rear lol. That isn't my car, but it's two punchy little subs that sit in the spare wheel well. Edited August 12, 2017 by Calum122 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryncewind Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 That looks quite smart in with the spare wheel. No use to me though as i have nothing at all in the back lol. I've found some nice JL audio subs i think will fit behind the front seats without interfering with the seat sliding backwards and forwards. I'll keep having a play with them and mock up the boxes for them. Heres how the back of the car looks now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So you use the existing threaded section to secure it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Personally, don't see the point stripping a car out then putting a sub in it. Not the type of car for all that rubbish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Don't run any audio these days but when I had my hilux I had underseat subs (obviously only a pick up bed at the back) and they were brilliant in a small cab, vibing through the seats lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So you use the existing threaded section to secure it. Have you hidden the wires to it under carpet or something or do they just run along the boot floor to it? Personally, don't see the point stripping a car out then putting a sub in it. Not the type of car for all that rubbish I prefer the look of it stripped out. My rear bench was bent in half after a crash and the plastics were pretty shitty too. I haven't done it for the weight reduction. Don't run any audio these days but when I had my hilux I had underseat subs (obviously only a pick up bed at the back) and they were brilliant in a small cab, vibing through the seats lol I don't I'll be able to get an amp under the seat but not much else lol, Don't remember there being much room under them!

Nanglebadger Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 If you look at pics of my car from about 8 years back you'll see that we removed the rear seats, put a 15 inch (I think, cant remember) sub into the spare wheel well and put a false floor in the boot and rear seat area. The amp was mounted to the false floor in the boot and we put 6x9s into the rear inner door cards. All told it was pretty neat and tidy. Its not to everyones tastes as is obvious above, but if music is an important part of your day/drive, then no reason you cant do it, not like the car hasnt got a turbo to pull the weight, but again, opinions and analogies to bodily orifices and all that shit. Have at it I say. Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The one I had under my seat had a built in amp and was flat (ish) maybe not beefy enough for what you're after though. Alpine iirc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
