Anyone with the premium sound system? How good? 2 subs or 1?

[ryan]

Looking at upgrading, but still not totally convinced with the behind seat aftermarket boxes, so i'm wondering what the 2x sub affair is like as part of the premium sound system?
Also, if I get 2 subs in the rear boxes, will I need another one of those seatbelt cowling amps, opr will just the one passenger side amp run both?
cheers!

hi mate, i have the "premium" original system from toyota with 6 x component speakers and the 2 x subs in the storage trays. They are OK if you just listen to the radio etc but when i stuck a Jungle Drum and Bass album through them this morning the sound was terrible, so bad infact i am looking at running two new subs and speakers through two seperate amps, i was looking for an answer to a question on here when i spotted your question.

In answer to your question avoid the original speakers if you want to play some real bassy music or if your a treble man they should cope fine. Hey if i swap mine over you could buy my ones

Hi Stuart,
I'm actually in the process of getting hold of 2 sub boxes that I can modify to take 2x Focal subs, which I purchased on the weekend. I can see this install costing me nearly 1k; this Focal stuff is Sooooo expensive!

Hi mate, good luck to you, where did you get your boxes from?

I've not heard of focal before, what size subs are you putting in, i have 2 x 12" Fast and Furious Subs from a while back and i want to re-use them, let me know how much space you have, i might have to build a box to extend up from the floor and partially block the window each side.

let me know how yours goes,

Cheers
Stuart

Hi Stuart,
I'm actually re-using the STD toyota sub boxes that fit in the cubbys behind the seats. Focal are a french company and they make high quality (and pricey ) speakers.
Good luck with the install!

Yeah, I've seen 6x9 subs for sale in some mag. I too have a T bar, and didn't want anything else cluttering up the behind seat area.
I'm sticking with the focals as they're prettey good quality it seems, and when they're amped properly, the bass should be fine for my needs
Good luck

Tho 6x9s like to have a big cabinet to sound good. Why dya think they sound bassy in the boot of a hatch back?

I have the 2 subs in my G-Limited. It sounds pretty good for standard but I'd imagine 1 sub should be sufficient. What size are the standard subs in MR2's, anyone know?
