That's funny, for me, it only rains after I wash my car.
I actually just put my system in friday. Now I am just waiting for my fronts and rears.

Maybe, you should try what ca18guy says...Try a garage. If you don't have one...Use a friend's garage.  Or you can go to Goodguys, circuit city, or whereever you got your amp from and use there garage...Thats what I would do.

*drifterx* · 10-15-2001, 01:01 PM

hahah be ghetto... tape a whole bunch of trashbags and pastic sheets up and then hang it from one side of the yard to the other and then u ahve a home made garage... i would personally not do that and wait till the rain stops....
wait... u could do other things....
why dont you run the wires inside the car?

*transient* · 10-15-2001, 06:08 PM

Haha, I like drifter's idea <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. Anyway, it stopped raining long enough for me to put it in. I got a JBL BP300.1 amp and an Alpine Type S 12" with Dual Voice Coil. Totally awesome, It THUMPS. I'm sure that other people have a bigger system than me, but hey, this is just perfect for me <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

*drifterx* · 10-16-2001, 09:20 AM

dont feel bad... i only have 2 10"
but they are very loud inside the 240sx....
does anyone else notice the 240sx holds in sound really well?

dannhctc · 10-16-2001, 11:56 AM

For a while I was running an old skool (round) 15 inch Solo Baric in the back of my 240 S13Hatch.  Plenty of headaches....

*transient* · 10-16-2001, 12:37 PM

Definately. I'm really happy with it. I've still got to mount the amp tho, right now it's just sorta sitting there. Hasn't moved an inch, but I wanna b on the safe side

groundzero · 10-16-2001, 12:58 PM

I had to put two 10inch speakers, because my 15's wouldn't fit in my small trunk...I was thinking about putting 15's in there again...but what should I do? How can I fit it?

*drifterx* · 10-16-2001, 01:53 PM

do a custom deck... it wont be sealed, i dont know how it would sound but make a custom deck in the rear and put the 15" right in the middle

*transient* · 10-16-2001, 03:45 PM

Mmm... I wouldn't do that. Get two 12's instead. Lay them on their backs on the slanted part of the box so they're facing up but angled down a bit towards the back of the car.

2 12's  are ALWAYS going to sound better than 1 15 of the same quality.  They can move faster with the music, so you won't be skipping beats. They'll also sound a LOT less distorted because there's less chance of cone flex.

my240likenoother · 10-16-2001, 08:07 PM

15's r very slow
but i you want them in there make your own box
its poasble i have 2 '12's in mine and have some space for a bigger box
my system is about 140ish dbs
2 kenwood exclon 12"
the mono block kenwood exclon 1200 watt amp
kenwood amp 50x2 for the fronts kenwood 5 1/4" mids with the 1" dome
and the kenwood 4011s cd deck
"like kenwood much???""

*transient* · 10-16-2001, 10:44 PM

hehe. I'm very partial to the JBL amp I just got.

burgy240 · 10-17-2001, 07:24 AM

loose ur spare and seal off your trunk space to fit amps and speakers.  I've seen it at 240sx.org under installs.  I just got stock in mine though.  I wish I had something like what u all have but I need performance first.
