today i installed a 15" speaker in my car...it was out of my 500 watt Crate Amplifier(bass amp if u were wondering)the amp is kaput but the speaker works great
and it is loud as hell.. i remember playing in bars with this thing and half the time i over powered the guitars with ease. anyway as i was saying..i didnt hook it up to an amp or anything i just linked it to my 6x9's and i must say that i am very pleased with the way it sounds. the pioneer deh-1600 works pretty well and the settings i can use are user friendly. there is one function called FIE(cant remember what it stands for) basically it allows more bass or low end frequencies at the rear while keeping the high end at the front. i can set it at 100,160, and 250 and it sounds amazing and just to add to the low tones i left the speaker in its 2 foot x 2 foot x 1.5 foot box and it just fits in the trunk.
i never really thought that a speaker from a guitar amplifier would sound good in the trunk of my car and it sounds awesome with the double-kick from the drums of Slipknot or System of A Down.
this was just an experiment and i do plan on setting up the real proper equipment for the job but for now im just gonna have some fun.
