Subject: stereo upgrade in a miata

Date: 	Sun, 1 Feb 1998 02:23:27 +0000



I've had real good results with Rockford PWR64s' in the door and Rockford

14X tweeters in the aircon vents. My head unit is a Clarion DRX8175. I have

2 10" JL Audio 10W6 subs mounted on the rear deck in a sealed enclosure.

The bass is incredible. The subs are powered by a Rockford 200X2 amp

polking out 200 watts RMS per channel into each sub. The headrests are

Clearwater HR speakers powered by an Alpine MRV-F400 amp which also power

the Rockford fronts.



The great thing about the JL W6 subs is that they only require 0.40 - 0.90

vol for a sealed enclosure. They are rated at 300W RMS each.



The only problem with this setup is for tall people. The seats can't be

moved all the way back. I'm 1.78m tall and this is fine for me though. Of

course I could have used 8" subs but IMHO they're not enough for the type

of music I play. I listen mainly to trance, progressive house, & techno so

I want to hear and FEEL the bass.



Of course I haven't entered any competitions.. I just like music... and I

like it LOUD :) If anyone is interested I can send pics of the installation.
