bass shakers

[MZ-N10]

well teh tod computer is under the passenger seat....i dont remember exactly where and how big it is. but im pretty sure u can place it off to a side of the seat and not damage it. u probably want to just take out the passenger seat just to make sure.

you can fit an JL Audio 8w3 in a sealed enclosure inside the spare tire.does not waste any space.here are some pics of the one i made for James. shawn

oh just so you know i took my seats out the other day. the comp for the TOD is about 1foot by 8inches or so. not too big or delicate, just a solid chunk of metal pretty much.

that looks very nice.
is 8" the maximum fit for such a mod? is a 12" sub going to fit if i remove the spare tire? since i had the 20" wheels replaced, i don't think the spare tire is useful to me. and also i heard people were complaining about the rear door vibration after they install the sub, will this happen to this mod too? those low frequency vibration sounds are really annoying. also, what kind of amp do you recommend in a economic way? sorry i am tatally a newbie to car audios.
thank you.
and thank all for the useful infomation.

The shakers that I have used are just speaker magnets and speaker coils attached to rods instead of cones. The bass vibrations they reproduced were exatly the same as the subs. I thought they were pretty intense myself.

if you remove the spare you can fit a jl audio 12" sub. i have not measured for any other brand so i am not sure if others will fit.with a sealed enclosure there should not be any door vibration.there was none with the 8" sub.as far as an amp i have a 400 watt US AMP.i will be building one soon for mine with the jl audio 12w6. shawn

Dynamat and good seals and attachments shoudl keep any rattling to a minimum. I would definitely consider lining the back of the spare tire compartment with Dynamat (expensive as it is) to keep the boominess down to a minimum. A little foam behind your license plate will keep that from buzzing as you roll down the road.

A JL 8W3 won't need 400 watts of amp. Not that it's a bad thing, but you can get plenty of sound from 150 watts (depending on how you wire them - those speakers have dual voice coils, which allows you to adjust the load on the amp - but never mind that - have your installer figure it out) Good luck!

Swordy... you like the bass shakers? As much as the sound from a sub?

VehiGAZ, the 400 watt amp is pushing the 12w3v2, soon to be 12w6 . the 8w3v2 is rated at 125 watts continous.and yes it has dual vc.in 2,4,or 6 ohm depening on what amp configuration you use.and as far as the rattle of the door with the 8 it was not an issue ,with a 12 maybe some dynamat or foam.with the 12w3 in a sealed enclosure behind the seat there are a few rattles. but not like 3 12w6 in the back of a ford escort.that thing would rattle.i will hopefully have the 12 in the door soon. shawn
