Default c4s

anyone have any pictures of their sounds systems in C4s that include some sort of subwoofers? i am looking into some different options as to how to place 1 or 2 subs in a late model C4 losing as little storage space as possible

A few people have subs installed where the rear speakers go. Is this something that you would consider?

I have seen and heard such an install and it is absolutely horrible. First of all an 8” really isn’t big enough to give any decent bass response in that hatchback and any woofer that would fit in that spot (after modification to get it installed) would not have enough airspace to operate in. Proper enclosures are very important to woofer performance. Using it as a midbass wouldn’t work either because you need all midbass up front to draw your sub frequencies forward.

However, if you don’t mind anemic bass then it might be an option for you. :)

Good luck. :seeya

LOOK INTO KICKER SQUARE SOLOBARIC SUBS.. EXTRA SMALL ENCLOSURES TONS OF BASS IF YOU POWER THEM RIGHT..EVEN THE 8INCHERS..I RECCOMEND PRECISION POWER AMPS.
