i had two pioneer subs in the back sounded fantastic but i had no boot so i really dont want to go down that round and i want to keep as much weight out of the car as possible/

any advice would be much appricated.

cheers

never heard them before but not something id go for

hows about going for a stealthbox, it will save you a load of boot space :y:

they are however expensive but tbh if you can use fibreglass then you can mask up the side of the boot apply some fibreglass and build a box from that so it fits snuggly into the corner of the boot

but like a said a wouldnt buy one of those subs you have put up, id much rather have an amp and some components, should sound really good and provide good bass, and also be very light

works for me

also no way is that going to go under the seat in a saxo there is very very little space under the standard seat

Agreed, there is just enouugh room to squeeze my 15" macBook under the seat, even in its case thats about 2" thick. Its a no-go in a saxo.

I have one of the Pioneer Amped Enclosed "Mini-Subs" and had it in the boot of a Megane. It's currently pencilled to go in my girlfriends Clio when I get round to it!

I would say that as a space saving measure they're pretty decent option although you need to remind yourself that you aren't going to get the outright quality you would achieve with a full install!

But if you're a newcomer to ICE and need a quick way of getting extra bass while keeping the bootspace then an amped sub is worth the money in my opinion.

I also like the idea of saving weight - I like my car's performance!!!

or you could copy furioal's guide and use the false floor it will save you space :y:

false floor coupled with a stealth box is your best solution.

My phone barely fits under my 106 seats

i cant see them staying in one place.
The glovebox in the saxo/106 is held in with crappy plastic clips
