Building a box for a Convertible Chevy Sprint
Hey
I need some help...I have never designed a system for a convertible...
The car currently has a Clarion 53wx4 head unit running four 4" Speakers. The car has a stock alternator that is 50A. With having such a small alternator it does not leave me a lot of options as far as amplifiers go.
One available option was a BAZOOKA 8" NOS SUB because it's small in size but I wasn't sure if it would work well in a convertible.
What do you guys recommend for a sub/enclosure and amplifier?
Any help is greatly appreciated

What are you aftr? All kinds of output or more SQ oriented? how much space are you willing to sacrifice in the car? I know a couple of people who have done dual 10's and dual 12's in them before but if your just looking at rounding out the sound a simple 8" bazooka behind the seat may be your best bet.

What should I pay attention to since its a convertible? Will I lose a ton of the bass when the top is down?

This is a thread from a Suzuki Swift/Sprint forum that has a post dealing with the same question as yours. There's a lot of different ideas going around about it from just running a bass tube to a full out dual 10" system. Should help you out a bit...

Lets say a pair of JLW0 subs wired @4ohm with 300rms be enough?
