Bullet-proofing Mach 460?
 

For the most part I'm very satisfied with the Mach 460 system in my 2001 GT, but unfortunately it doesn't provide enough bass for me at higher volumes. I want to get a small subwoofer for the trunk and put "bass blockers" on the 4 door speakers so that I can turn it way up and still have great bass without worrying about blowing the stock speakers. I've always been against putting subwoofers in cars for several reasons (they're huge, ugly, heavy, obnoxious, etc.) but I've come to the realization that it's the only way to get bass out of my system at higher volumes.

So my questions are

What subwoofer would you recommend? I'd prefer 10" for space reasons but I also want something that's more than I need so that I never have to worry that I'm pushing it too hard.

How can I get a line-level signal out of the stock headunit?

Thanks for all of your help!

bass blockers?

you mean a capacitor? or a simple crossover.

How much are you looking to spend?
you can always remove the back seat and have some boxes formed in the rear.

There are things called bass blockers. They are in Crutchfield. I was thinking about getting them, but i decided not to get a sub.

Only need 1 10" !

:punk:

i got two 10" mtx subs i'll make you a great deal on. you can use one and sell the other or just whatever. pm if you want the specs

alpine makes some real nice 10" subs if i talk to one of my friends this weekend ill ask him what he has..hes got a new jeep liberty with the stock sterio and one 10 inch alpine sub and that sucker is loud

Yeah, I think I'm going to go with a 10" Alpine Type-R. I haven't decided on an amp yet, but again I want something that's overkill so I never have to worry that I'm working it too hard. Any suggestions?

Thanks again.

ive had the alpines, the silver with the type-r in red. they were seriously dissapointing. i have right now 1 10" kicker solob and its great on the low end. my friend has a powered 10" bass tube and it sounds badazz.

Alpines BOOOOOOO!!

MTX Thunder 9500 WOOOOOOOOO!

Can't go wrong with JL Audio, best audio equipment out there for the price.

Also, Kicker is a great sub if you don't mind a rectangular shape.

JL Audio makes some really nice sounding subs, hit real hard and are good quality.

I have 2 10" JL Audio W1's, came out last year. They're very good and got them for under a 100 bux each.

I have a 15" Kicker Solobaric in my basement, but it's waaaay to big for me. I think I'm going to go with either a 10 or 12 inch Alpine Type R, now I need your help deciding on an amp. Which one of these three would you recommend?

Alpine MRP-M450
Infinity 761W
Rockford Fosgate Punch 1800W

Thanks again for all of your help.
