GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Howdy folks...lets hear the good and the bad about this setup in the vibe...just dropped it in this weekend. We dont need no freaking trunk! Feel free to share your trunk shots on this thread.Those are Rockford T212D4 woofers driven by the two X6 amps above them and the Soundstream on top drives the high end.2900 watts RMS of (removed) kick.Lots of tuning and trim out to do still.I'll keep you posted.

Holy Crap! That's Ginormous. Looks like a very clean set-up.Can you hear me now?The only junk in my trunk is the stock 10" sub that came with the Moon-n-toon package.Keep up posted and let us know how many decibles it takes for you to replace your rear lift glass. Ha, Ha!

Ha, Ha!No........it is BIGANTIC!!The liftgate is about 40 pounds heavier thanks to the iceguard for sound deadener...I ain't so worried about the rear glass...yes it flexes a bunch, but the windshield.....now that I AM worried about!

we dont need no trunk!!! my god thats a huge box though. i though my bazooka took to much space

Mine!

That looks L O U D. Here's mine, I went for cargo room with some boom. Amps are under the front seats.and

All you need now is two turn tables and a microphone.Quote, originally posted by idontknowwhatimdoing »Howdy folks...lets hear the good and the bad about this setup in the vibe...just dropped it in this weekend.

Quote, originally posted by ArcsVibe »I did mine so that I can still use the back to haul stuff.... Me too!! I haul around all that gear! Hardy har har! I love seeing the trunk setups! And I get an extra 2" drop in the rear from the 380 pounds of the setup.Them Treo subs look COOL!!I'm diggin the JL W7 and the air tanks for the bags (JEALOUSY IS ME)Keep 'em coming!

By The Way....first dB reading done last night, not dialed in yet and subs not broken in was 146dB at the dash...and it is musical. Now my mirror is more worthless than ever!!

Here's mine. Completely hidden and yes it pounds.

here is mine, as seen by a blind man from 30 feet away

Yeah, I have seen your stealth setup....VERY COOL...I bet it does slam.

no, it's weak. doesn't thump very much. i need a new enclosure. that, or some pillow stuffing.ohh, that hing behind the box is my paint gun. so i can shoot yah!!

Man there sure is a lot of boom boom out there, I'm going to buy stocks in a hearing aid factory for when we all go deaf.....but I wouldn't change a thing.

Here's my simple setup. It's a Bazooka RS8A-HP 8" sub with a built in 150 watt RMS amp. It's plenty of bass for me, still gives a pretty good thump. I just wanted some additional clean bass added and I used to have this in my previous car 6 years ago. As you can see, it doesn't take up much space and I didn't have to drill a single hole to mount it. I modified the brackets it came with so that they mount into the track on the floor.

Celtic_Curse, I really like your setup. That's cool how you got it to fit within the wall.

Thank you, was a pain to get in there but was worth it. Needless to say your Vibe is way cool!

hi lol im still new I've been looking at this site for like EVER just joined anyways I am about to get some JL equipment I was going to go with the JL Audio 500/5 and that will just have to do me for now and I was wondering if anyone has tooken off there back seat (im always loosing **** inthe space down there anyways I was wanting to know if anyone knew if there would be enough room to fit the amp in there

I only have 2 10" Alpine Type R's and I got 147.7 DBS! The Vibe is awesome air space for a system - plus the fact that the interior is ALOT of plastic. I love my 1st place trophy!

Wow thats loud you must have sound deadned pretty good. Post some pics of your setup.

Haven't posted a picture before - Hope it works...

My ears are sayin' OUCH!

It's not an OUCH kinda' Boom Boom - I guess not to me anymore. You build up an immunity to stereos after a while I guess. I find that my car's air space allows me to get some really good low frequency bass - and that's what counts. If anything it's definitly not the loudest stereo out there - but it is the loudest of it's kind. It's a pretty simple set-up - and that decible reading of 147.7, was taken immediatly after the system was installed. Chances are it could have climbed one or two DB's now that it's broken in... I think my deck could have something to do with it - When I switched over to Pioneer's AVIC-N1 I noticed a huge different in the sound quality of my subs. Maybe because the deck allows you to adjust to very specific settings, and I think I found what suits me! LOUDNESS!

How are getting 3.4dB louder than my loudest reading on the system I am running now (maybe I should shut my jealous trap huh?) I have TWO of the T2 rockford 12" with 1200 watts RMS to EACH sub for 2400 watts RMS to the box. The box was expertly designed and built. I have been in the audio business for 18 years now and am surprised by the reading you got...a contact of mine in the industry locally has the alpine type "r" 10's in a sweet setup and the best he could muster was 138.1 at the dash. He has a 1000 watt monoblock to EACH sub also. So c'mon....what is the secret? Post the Termlab sheets so I am convinced I am not crazy.

Another thing I thought about...what is the elevation of the town where the measurements were made?

I don't know what you mean by 'TermLab Sheets' otherwise I would fill you in with the info. Everyone just thinks I kind of lucked out, the head in-staller in my town said it's the highest reading he has seen anyone get in his career with that set up, or something similar to it.

Everyone just thinks I kind of lucked out, the head in-staller in my town said it's the highest reading he has seen anyone get in his career with that set up, or something similar to it.The TermLab sheet is the printout from a dB measurement taken on the TermLab meter. If you were measured on an audio control or a BK meter, they too will also have a printout available.

I never got a printout - Sorry. The next time I get a reading I should though, never even thought of that. But, the next time might be for a long time. My Vibe get's parked in the garage for winter, so it won't be making it down to the shop any time soon.

You guys have some nice setups. Here is my simple install. Just an Infinity Basslink, but it has a really good sound. The nice thing is I can still fit a full-size stroller back there, and I can get to my spare.

i'm sure that baby loves that thump.

Where did you get the Vibe floor mat for the hatch from?

tell me pissedoffgokart how you got that nice flush in the floor of the hatch like that, seems to me like the mounting depth of the subs would make that hard....

Indeed it does! Those Treo subs are about 2 inches from the bottom of he spare tire well!! I didn't think it would work either! The flush mount look is more ilusion than fact. I have an MDF board fastned to the "top" of the enclosure and the extra inch and a quarter allowed me to "flush" it in with some covered grills. I had to do it this way so I can still use my space and not damage my subs!!The top of the enclosure sits level with the rest of the floor (all the plastic stuff) with the spare tire cover and that hunk of plastic removed. Only downside I found so far, aside from no spare, is that I couldn't reach the top nuts for he rear suspention very easily at all!!!!I love my Treos!http://www.treoonline.com/ssi.html

I think it looks pretty amazing - Nothing I've ever seen before. Definitly not something I would want... But It does look hella' cool!

Ah... Sweet thanks so much - finally a good parts place for me to rack up the visa with!

You can buy it at CMP classic in Calgary for Cheap. Might be Cheaper than shipping.

for my trunk set up just check my photobucket pics, deff takes up the whole trunk area : )

Bang Zoom....to the moon....that looks like a slammer!

(removed)....ouch!! Have you had SPL levels recorded?
