Hassen Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 If you just want deeper bass, then consider adding a subwoofer as that would be adequate for your needs. New Speakers will probably not give you that bass that you are looking for. There are different types of subwoofer and reading up about them might help you narrow your choices. Have a look at my thread for info. http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/52338-hassens-ford-focus-16-tdci-build-thread/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarksST Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 If you fitted a sub, for example an underseat active sub, you could cut the bass from the door Speakers so they would only do the mid/treble. Less reason for the door Speakers to vibrate and make daft noises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you add it in? Are they a plug at back is system or what? Buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassen Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Underseat powered subwoofer would be the best bet I think without breaking the bank. At a later stage, you can always get a coaxial set of Speakers to have clearer mids and high frequency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 How do you wire the underwear sub ? I'm new to this sort of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjay1 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 How did you add it in? Are they a plug at back is system or what? Buddy installed a sub with high pass filters built in and wired in to rear Speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L22EEW Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Any photos of this set up please? As me being a fan of Trance/Funky House... I do like some base. But dislike the rattling door cards! :D I used to have a JBL sub/amp installed in the boot of my previous Clio. With a alpine head unit the sound was fantastic, but I lost half of the boot space because of the sub/amp. Don't really want to have this in the Fiesta, and I like to have ample boot space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjay1 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 will try and post some pics up tomorrow. http://www.thompsonsltd.co.uk/brands-bass-face/power12.2-bass-face-2600w-double-12-active-powered-car-sub-box-subwoofer-amplifier-amp.html this is the sub i got unfortunately it does take up half the boot and is a bit ott. http://www.thompsonsltd.co.uk/brands-bass-face/power12.1-bass-face-12-1300w-car-sub-box-subwoofer-and-built-in-amplifier-powered-package.html this one would probably do the job and give you more boot space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Under seat subs? And can you have two ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjay1 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 mine isn't an under seat sub it goes in the boot. its 2 12" subs in one enclosure with built in amp. i may well have gone for an under seat sub if i didn't already have this one from last car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattDRX Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Best thing would be to get some decent components are replace the tweeters, Alpine ones aren't too badly priced tbh about £140 a pair for decent lines. the rattles you'll never stop, I remember mine wasn't the door cars or trims that rattled it was the switch for the mirror adjustment that always rattled, the rest of the car was spot on for this. just touching the sliver switched and it stopped. quite annoying.

MattDRX Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 You not got a soldering iron? You can buy the clips separately and have any speaker you like, cost pence and take seconds to fit to the wire in reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
