Hey guys I'm thinking about putting some components in my front door. Like 6.5s. I've seen pics of some before but cant find them anymore. I looked through this whole thread.

Anybody here got components in the front doors of their 3rd gen pickup or their 2nd gen runner?

 

Come on I know someone has cut up their doors. I've seen it before. For some reason I'm thinking oldharleyman has em in his doors.

 

I installed some Q-panel kick pods (1993 4runner) that can hold 6.5 components. I can take some pics if you like.

 

dont bother, I know what they look like. If i do kick pods I will make them myself. do you have room to move your foot off the clutch? i absolutely have to have that space.

 

Alright if anyone wants to see I found some pics of Blurr's setup. Pretty sick. Looks like what I wanna do except I dont wanna cut into the door pocket.

EDIT: why does it seem like im the only one that posts in this thread. its just me here, lonely toylocost, talking to myself.

 

I am back. Just made a new ported box





I spilled some glue in the back. All I can say its louder than my old box.

 

I don't have components, just replacement stock 6.5s. I didn't care much for sound quality.

Do you get used to ported box,eh?

You know I was gonna port it in the middle but ran out of 1" mdf so I had to port on the side. 1" mdf isn't cheap! 50 bucks a sheet! And also, I tried to bend mdf and it failed. So I cut the little piece of mdf at 45 degrees for port and did some sanding and call it a day. It's kinda like an aeroport. It breathes much easier for the subs rather than straight port.

 

Hi guys,
So I'm not into hardcore stereo systems like all of you, but I do feel the need to add a little bump in the 4runner. My vehicle will be built more as an expedition rig including a drawer system. So there in lies my question.
I was thinking of building a drawer system with a hidden sub on one side. On one side the drawer would be full length, but on the other side it would only be a half drawer. I was thinking a small sealed enclosure and just an 8" sub countersunk into the top.
Now I know this will not produce near as much bass as all of your systems, however I'm a slightly older guy with an 8 month old son who rides with me most of the time, so BIG bumpin would not fit my style. Any thoughts? Is an 8" a waste of time? Does anyone even do sealed enclosures anymore?
Thanks,
Aaron

 

Actually you would be surprised what an 8 inch subwoofer can do these days. The bigger the subwoofer the more air you move (if it's ported). In your case you do not want to make it ported so an 8 inch will provide a very punchy sound. A larger subwoofer that is ported will move more air and make more of a drone. For your case you will notice more bump in your music but nothing insane enough to flex your roof. I say that is a perfect choice. Get a good 8 inch sub and don't skimp out or else you will be disappointed.

I drive an automatic so foot space on the left is less of an issue.

 

I use an 8" focal in a sealed enclosure and it sounds great and takes up very little space. Im more a SQ guy than SPL. Once I get my truck back from the mechanic I will snap a few pics for this thread.

Hella sick box dude! smaller and louder thats pretty cool.

And yeah I'm used to it now. its definetley too much for the speakers that are in it now. I have NO midrange and the tweets are sad and unclear. Thats why im going with the components. and the stock speakers in my truck are 4s in the dash so id have to spend more to get the sound I want out of them.

 

no runner here but i have a pioneer deck with a 1200 watt american bass 4 channel amp pushing 4 6x9s 2 tweeters on the deck with a 1000 watt d mono american bass amp pushing 2 alpine type r 12s in a ported box. all in a taco nice setups guys

 

Thanks. The current box is 6 cubes after displacement and tuned to 40hz same as my previous box. The previous box was just taller and shorter depth. I like the new one because it's under the window line so I can see through in the back window and also much louder too!

Your post is worthless without just joking.

I used to have four type r 12's that were in sealed box. Wish I made a ported box for them but never had a chance to do it.

How did you mount these amps under the seats? Did you drill them to the chasis or just drywall screws through the carpeting?

 

kind looks like they are just sitting there. velcro to the carpet should be sufficient.

 

CHEA!! Ganna end up getting another amp. I have the mirror on the roof now, but had to sacrifice the compass (have a gps anyway :p) Also, I'm ganna need some more highs to even out the sound so the bass won't overpower everything... My main problem is I don't have anyplace for anymore highs or mids!!!

 

Yeah you do...

thats a pretty clean set up... little much for my standards... I have 2 12s with 1 1000w 2 channel amp and a 450w 4 channel amp w/ a bridge. its pretty clear, but I wanna add 6.5s in all 4 of the doors for a better all around sound. I have my bass at zero and still seems as if theres not enough highs or mids, especially since I listen to rock.
