Howzit sound driving? Mine sounds great with the engine off but the bass gets lost when driving. No problem since I prefer to hear the engine anyway but amazing how the low frequencies get lost even with a sub. Anyone have different results?

i want to wait untill i drove my car at speed.the bass still kiked,and the whole system is great.i am almost deaf.

Congrats on the new system. I got a huge smile across my face when I installed my "state of the art" system.

+1 on the larger JL sub. I can hear mine well at speed, but I do have to crank the entie system a little to overcome a cat bypass.

good looking install guys..

altarchsa - is your sub installed into the back of rear seats ? Or am I seeing things?

kboustani - nice pics guy.... thats is good looking 964 ! what mid/tweeter combo's and 6x4's did you go for ? Alpine as well ? Would you recommend them?

cheers.

Which amp did you go for and did you mount it under the passenger seat in the original factory location?

kboustani

alpine for the door anr rears.they are awsome and not ver pricey.the sound is so clean.my new amp is also alpine unit.i have a secondary bypass but i can hear my music well over it about half way on the volume.

Regulars here have heard my overly proud descriptioin before, but...

I removed the driver rear seat back and bottom cushion and constructed an irregularly shaped box that fills the seat well and projects down into the footwell to obtain the volume recommended for a 10" JL sub. I made the top of the box level with a folded down seat back and built a lip on it to simulate the top of the original seat back. Covered everything in matching carpet and vinyl to go with the interior.

FANTASTIC lows, adjustable from thumpin' to subtle with the Alpine head unit, and the finish on the box makes it look like it "belongs" with the interior.

But the Ebay find, nearly new condition, 5 channel huge output Alpine amp mounted on mdf siliconed to the gas tank was the best investment. Infinity Kappa Pefect components in the doors (with the extra tweeter added to the doors) and plate speakers in the rear finished it off.

When I read the your original post it reminded me of my goals and satisfying results!

altarchsa

For a really great system, you can't get a big enough amp under the seat. IMO, if you're going for sound that even begins to overcome the 964's beautiful engine tunes, you have to go for a big multi-channel amp.

Sorry I posted my reply inside the first quote. Apparently, I have not quite figured out the multi-quote feature yet.

kboustani

my amp is 4 channel and one mono sub channel.alpine

Where did you mount the Alpine 4 channel amp and what model is it?

altarchsa

That's the way to go. I'm jealous of your Bluetooth head unit, since I bought my wife a C350 MB with built-in Bluetooth. It is so much more convenient and safer.

Nice photos. If you install your speakers directly onto the door frame (there is already drilled speaker holes) and not on the floppy door card trim, I think you will be amazed at the sound improvement. And possibly wouldn't need the sub and amp.

or mount the primary front splits into a fixed solid mounting place .. not the floppy door trim card.
