What about the music???

I wanted to know if I get some subs in my 240 will that mess up the distubution to much because I plan to practice drifting later but the 4X6 speakers in the 89' 240s just arnt enough.

If you were to keep it simple it shouldnt mess with the balace at all. I have 1 12" and a 500 watt amp installed right now, and the balance isnt affected at all and the bass response from the hatch is awesome.I am in the process of building a much larger system. I am pulling the back seat out and gutting the rear of the car and im builing a box that holds 3 12" audiobahns. and each are powered by their own 1000 watt amp. the way i am constructing the box most of the weight sits in the middle of the car. so the balance shouldnt be affected too much. not too much that I couldnt correct though.

The cars have a little front weight bias anyway, so the balance shouldn't be messed up too much. Try to keep as much weight in the middle, in front of the axle if possible.

i have 2 10 inch subs with an 1800 watt amp in my hatch and i can still drift without to much balance trouble everything is strapped down dead in the center

I think you'll be fine... just go simple, as light weight as possible, and as close to the center to the possible.

If you want lightweight, dont go audiobahn amps, those are chromed out, fans yielded heavy mofos, and not worth the cost. For a nice amp look into http://www.respl.com and instead of audiobahns, look into their SE line of subs. 2 10" SE's took 2 12" JL W3v2's.

For a lightweight amp though, you really cant do much, amps(big ones) that are reliable are usually going to weigh a hefty amount.

Lightweight subs though, the alpine type r, the Mag d2 -32lbs. and some low end JL's. Even the eD K's. As for light boxes, fiberglass, or if you REALLY are a stickler for weight, use .5" MDF wood as opposed to .75". But thats only if youre running around 800w or so, and if you resin the inside of the box.

Those guys's low end lines are pretty lightweight.

If I can help with other audio questions lemme know. Im a mod over at caraudio.com.

Hope I helped.

Just disconnect all the wires and take the box out when you drift. Saves you 100lbs and takes the balance to pretty much stock.

what if your daily-bass driven-car is also your daily-drifter....its hard to unhook your subs and amps when you spontaneously drift random corners.....not that i approve of street drifting or anything.....:icesangel

Go to home depot and purchase some 4" L-brackets. 4" on each side of the L I mean. I have over 150lb box in the back of my jeep and a wooden platform as a amprack/box holster, and I have yet to have my box move one bit.

Put 4 L brackets on your box. 2 on each side, your done.

Well if you drift streets your an idiot IMO so I didn't take that into consideration.

Of course I fall under this catagory also. heh
