Has anyone put subs in there 2005+ Convertible?? Also anyone who has put subs in there convertible please feel free to let me know. I am looking to put subs in my 2005 convertible but I am unsure about how well it will sound, if anyone has any experience or even just a idea about how this may sounds please let me know and also how many and what size. Thanks
What kind of box do you have? any pictures?? I was just going to get subs for my Jeep only but I only drive that in the winter so I figured if I could get a box that fits the mustang I would be able to just move the subs and amp into the Jeep during the winter. So if 2 12's would fit in the stang good that would work out well cause it would still pound pretty good in my Jeep then. Anyone else have any expereience????
I think i posted up about this before. I have a '00 vert and I have a custom box made for my 2 10" infinity kappas. They are bottom firing and sound awesome. I havent noticed a lot of loss, of course except when the top is down. The box can be removed, and would fit in a jeep easily. I have it custom sloped at the top from the face back, with a lifted base...about 1" up from the floor boards. My 1400 watt amp is mounted on the front face of the box. It takes up almost all of the trunk under the top, but I still have room around the sides and in front. if i can get some pictures posted I will.
CHIC, if you are able to I would love to see some pictures cause that is exactly what I would like to do!!! If you cant post them ill give you my email if thats easier! Anyone else??
i have two 10 inch kidker subs in my 92 convertible. if the 05 are similar, the largest sub you can fit is two 10 in without a major custom box. they sound clean but nothing like a coupe or hatchback. i have taken out the back seat cuz no one ever sits back there and i'm going to build a custom box with two 12's. the only thing about the subs in the trunk in convertible is the fact that it helps the rear end squat better cuz of the weight. the box i have is an L shape so that it'll fit underneath by the motor. hope this helps.
I'm looking to build a sub box that'll sit right in the back seat use quick release connectors so the thing can be removed if someone ever wants to sit back there. I'm thinking having the speakers facing forward right behind the front seats should help gain some of the bass loss that verts will have lol but now I'm wondering if a "bottom firing" design in the back seat would be a better idea? I'm not planning on removing the back seat, just make a box that sits ON the seat

I have thought about doing something like this, I am a college student so whenever someone sits in the back it is usually not planned so that would be the main problem with that, unless I would be able to make it so that I could take it out and just set it in the trunk. So it would just have to be small enough to fit into the trunk, which I think it could work! I move home on May 4th, so that will start the process of what I really want to do cause I have a nice big garage and tools at home. Please attach more pictures if you start it and also anyone who has pics of there subs in there trunk that would be great. Thanks!!!

I'd recommend against that...its dangerous to have a box just sitting on the seat. Imagine you get into an accident, that box is gonna give you one hell of a headache....

I deff agree with you on that. I did think about how I would be able to secure it down without drilling holes or anything. That will deff be part of the planning process to see how i could secure it down. Thanks

Actually I was planning on going to the wreakers & getting a couple seatbelts that would be attached to the box.. seatbelt the sucker in place when in use lol

Actually... It will kill you at 30mph. (Not just give you a headache)
VERY NICE!!!!! That is a lot more than I really want to do, how good does that sound since its a conv? I am just worried I am going to spend all this money and then it wont even sound that good because its in a conv!!
sounds good but still not enough for highway driving so i'm going to try another 500w mono amp matched with 2 new memphis m3's. so it'll end up pushing 500 to each sub. now i have 500 split between the 2 L7's. either way it still does the job. good luck.

it will never sound like a explorer or a truck, but its better than nothing. if you like alternative, rock or country you'll be happy but rap not that great. i was gonna reply to the sub box in the back seat. i've put my box in the back seat and drove with it for a few weeks, it doesn't sound better than in the trunk. but mine is a sealed box cuz i wanted a better sound not a louder sound. the trunk amplifies it as much as possible. but i do plan on making a ported box that mounts to where the back of the back seat use to be. hopefully two twelves and two tens, but i'm starting to think thats gonna add too much weight.
