izzo Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) this is just a rough draft, i havent actually taken measurements so its off a bit but you get the idea im thinking 1/2" mdf or 3/4 or w/e. after its put together, put some fleece on it then fiberglass. drop some red paint on it etc etc.. anyways heres the rough draft. below the rear speakers it says IZZO, thinking about making that able to open up, good spot to put some extra stuff, change cds whatever also in the finished product im going to take out the word izzo, change it to datsun. cut it out, and put a square plexi over the word like it was framed, then have it lit red.

78kingcab Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 looks like some good shit to me...cant wait to see it done Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Subs aren't very directional so mounting location isn't that critical. To enhance stereo separation mount the tweeters in the front kick panels. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 really? Thanks mike :D I chose that spot for the little subs just because of room issue. i have them in two little boxes on the passenger floor board now. and that dont leave much room for feet. So i figured once i get the bucket seats in there i could just put them there and they would sound ok and be out of the way Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 The ideal spot would be equal distance away left and right and about ear height... alas, there are some compromises that must be made in a vehicle. The kick pads at least separate them for the stereo effect and place them slightly forward so there is the illusion you are facing the music. I have a pair of old 'biscuit' tweeters that just stick to the dash on each side facing up. The sound reflects off the inward curving windshield. To help re-enforce them there are 4" mids in the kick panels and the 12" subs in custom enclosures I made for behind the seats. Course it's easier if you have a King Cab. Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Lots of extra room there. Don't forget the cup holders:D Quote Link to comment
nis720 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 There really isn't alot of room between the seats. A few years ago I made this box for 2 8" subs between the seats. I had to face them to the rear and fiberglass the sides to conform to the seats. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) man that is just badass thanks for the heads up, ill keep that in mind. that was just a rough drawing, i have to redo it once i actually measure it, btw what are those seats out of. they look comfy Edited June 21, 2009 by h2theizzo Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 6" subs? teehee ;) Fiberglass ftw Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 6" subs? teehee ;) Fiberglass ftw fiberglass sure does look good. just dont know if i want to take that much time doing something like that, besides. there really isnt any room in a standard cab mini truck. those six inch woofers will do fine. im probly only going to use 2 instead of 3 anyways first thing tho i gotta get some bucket seats Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 or one bad ass 10" sounds good! :D Quote Link to comment
Suspect Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) This is what I did for a temporary fix.... (before I got the truck, someone already cut out the spot for the radio) I plan to replace the dash, put the original AM radio back in, install a factory console with cd player, and have both factory radio and Cd player working.

I later switched out the seats for some 93' Integra seats and was able to fit a 10" bazooka tube between them. Quote Link to comment
bagged_datsun Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 are you going to put actual 6" subs in there or just midbass drivers?....if you want a "sub" get an 8 6 wont get any lows and will bottom out fast on a little power, but it you want 6" let me know there is a somewhat local company that makes some killer speakers for cheap :lol: also supposedly you never go with an odd number of subs because they just cancel each other out but yeah idk on that for 1000% Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 lol... I changed the design to 2 subs anyways. thanks brandon :D and probably just two mids in there. i already bought them and they are in the truck now. i need a small amp to power them tho, stock stereo just isnt cutting it Quote Link to comment
