Alright, firstly guys just so you know, I have not bought anything yet.. I am just purely needing to get my head around a few things after alot of reading here on the forums.. lol
Okay so as the name suggests, I am planning on doing a cheap sub& install to my original HU for my VXII Clubsport R8 '01... After alot of reading I am assuming that I will very much likely will be having to splice? a low level convert (is that the same as an LOC or wtf is an LOC?) up to the outputs of a left and a right of my speakers.. What is better to do, front or back speakers? I will eventually be doing a HU swap, but thats a long way away unfortunately.. So prob still best to install the low level convert near the HU to run the RCA cables back so I dont have to re- lay down the RCA and remote wires at a later date...
I am unsure on what speakers I am running, (dimensions wise) they are all still stock tho.. I think its (an correct me if im wrong)
6inch splits up front
6inch two ways in the rear doors
and possibly 6x9s or something, but def something also in the rear parcel shelf..
(sorry for uber lack of info im at work an also dont wanna pull everythin apart to see dimensions..
As for what amp and sub I will be going, likely something as follows:
1x 800w monoblock amp
1x 600w 12" sub
also, due to finances and time (length or free time haha) I was thinking of installing the low level convert, RCAs, remote wire, and possibly power (but just cover it up real good with tape so it doesn't short out my whole car lol..) first in one go, then get amp and sub at a later date an hook them up..
I hope i havent rambled faaar to much guys.. like i said tried to piece it all together first... and I only want to do a sub... having as many speakers as a currently do in the R8 is rather clear an loud, but just not as much bass as I would like..
also i listen to heavy metal/rock..
my missus however listens to rap/dance/crap lol So hence why i thought a single 12"sub wld be sufficient for both applications..
