Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Audio Got a sub!

I went around looking at 8's today locally, and found a store who is getting out of the car audio business. So they had some left over subs that they were selling cheap. Had a Apline Type S, the SWS-0840 . I just couldn't pass up the deal . . . I believe it's about a $160 woofer, got it for $75.

Good deal! I got both my crystal 8" subs for $80 total.

Well, I'm about to go install it! Wish me luck! I'll have pics of the process and such.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the sound!

I've always bought alpine amps & HU's but never the speakers, post how turns out ! hinse the thread Current wants, needs ect.
Thanks , hope everything sounds good ! ~

I hate Ford. Well, I hate their choice of bolts. I don't have a folding rear seat, so I'll have to unbolt it. Unfortunatly, they are metric, and I don't have any that big. So it won't be installed correctly until at least Monday.

But not to be totally shot down in flames for tonight, I hooked it up anyway, and tested it just sitting in the trunk. Not exactly a good test, but I was impressed anyway. Pretty good for just a single 8 literally sitting in a closed trunk.

I think I'm going to build a sealed box for it, too. I like tight bass, so I think it would be a good thing. Anyone see a problem with that? I still am going to mount it under the deck, but I've got to find a metric screwdriver big enough to take the seat off.

It's just sitting on the floor of the trunk?

Just curious but how did you plan on mounting the sub if not in a box? Were you planning on making it a free air setup under the rear dash or something along those lines?

Not anymore. Just for testing purposes . . . had to make sure it worked, right? Don't worry, I would never leave it like that.

You got it. I was gonna try free-air, but I figure since I have to wait to put it in anyway, I'll wait a little longer and build a box for it too.

Okay then, I thought maybe you had no clue at all and were just planning on sticking the sub flush against the back seat, which would be utter madness!

I had a sub last night. But i ate it..... Pretty good i must say.
