Bass in stang convertible
Anybody have any pointers on how to get any bass in a Mustang convertible? I'm not looking for mega thump but at least some balance. It seems to me that anything in the trunk wouldn't be great for 2 reasons: no room and space between trunk and cockpit for top. Anyone have any thoughts?

I have a Q-Logic 10" Bass Tube with a Kenwood 10" Sub(600 Watt) in the trunk. It is hooked up to a 300watt Jenson amp and it thumps nice. It sounds real nice with the top up, but when its down it looses a lot of the bass, but it still does a excellent job of balancing. I got the tube with the speaker for $180 with all wiring. It takes up less than half the trunk.
There is a plastic piece that sits over the top motor and hides where the top folds down into. When I took this out it eliminated ALL rattles coming from the trunk, and I have a cobra spoiler that I recently put on.

the best way to get bass in a drop top is use a fake worm to catch the thing and then throw the fish in your back seat.

Have you looked into Bass stations? They are made for open air set ups like jeeps, and converts because you loose a lot of the sound when the top is down. Just a thought. Jonathan

I know Alpine sells them. Some of the other high end manufacturers probably do as well. Check with your car audio shop for specifics. Jonathan
