Looking to add bass!

[Beer Belly]

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, if it has, can anyone post me the link?I'm looking to add bass to my 2007 Vibe (either a subwoofer & enclosure or bass cannons) however, I do not want to sacrifice too much cargo space as I do alot of traveling, camping, fishing etc.Are there any ideas or does anyone out there know where an enclosure or cannons can be placed to minimize use of cargo space? What setup do you currently have?Any recommendations for size and style of woofer?Any kind of input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Bazooka Tubes are pretty compact and depending on how you mount it you shouldn't lose much cargo space. Most of the ones with the builtin amp have a single wiring harness so they are real easy to pull out and put back in. Don't look at my setup if you want space I pretty much have no cargo area

I was looking at the Tubes with the built-in amp. A couple of 8" tubes may fit under the front seats and would probably provide a good sound as well. Not sure how much clearance is under the seats...guess i'll have to check.

I have a JL 10w6 in a JL box and it takes up little room in the back and a JL 500/1 under the front seat. It sounds great, and its easy to remove if i need the extra cargo space!

Very Nice!!! Well for now, I picked up 2 sets of 6 1/2" Pioneer Speakers for the doors. I guess i'll go looking in the forum to see instructions on the install for those. If anyone can post a quick link it'll save me the time of searching. Thanks!!!

It's mainly the driver and passenger side door where the bottle holders are in the bottom of the door..Its about finding that point where the bass overcomes the rattles..... jk I have gone though a lot of sound deadening.

I made a very small fiberglass enclosure for a 10" sub. Look for the thread on the second page. Beware. the thread is picure heavy but it should give you some idea if you wanna go in that direction.

A lot of nice systems out there! Still keeping my eyes open in our weekly flyers for something in my price range. This weekend i've replaced the stock door speakers with 6 1/2" Pioneers. It made a huge difference! It was a bit of a pain to tear the old speakers apart and modify their casings to use them as mounts for the new ones. Also had a hard time getting behind them to install the bolts that had to replace the rivets. Glad it's all done and sounds great!On another note I also replaced the stock air filter with a K&N filter. Supposed to be better for the car and increase gas mileage...we shall see.

I have the K&N air filter as well. Aside from a better flow rate, I have no idea if I get better than before. I purchased the filter at a local pepboys within a week of buying the car.

I've had my car for 4 years using cheap stock air filters, so i'm hoping i'll notice at least a little difference with the K&N so I know that I didn't waste money on an expensive one. haha
