![]() I have an 88 GT Hatchback. I used to have a weak system in my car, but it was stolen. The system was put in by the previous owner, and it sounded alright, but with my flowmasters, I need something better than I had. I had two 12" speakers in a ported box with a 400w amp. I don't even remember the brand names, it's been awile. My head unit (I still have it) is a Kenwood and has 45w X 4 (I think
![]() I also wanted to know if someone has any ideas on a box I could build to fit some 12's in for my hatchback. I can get dimensions if anyone needs them. Thanks in advance, Keith |

![]() Heya Kamaro since you are spending 500-600 bucks I would go with one good 12" sub and a good 400-500watt amp RMS. You will need to put this sub in a large ported box and it will be real loud!!!! Average size for one 12" sub is 2 1/4 cubic feet. Also make sure to build the port out of wood rather than a whistle port . Brands I would recommend Kicker, Orion, MTX and JL. Amps the same as the sub brands.
Hope this helps and keep us posted how that stereo is going!!! Do you have an alarm??? Sounds like maybe you should get one to if you install this system!!! See Ya, Karen ![]()

![]() This is kinda long so bear with me
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The previous owner actually only had 1 12" sub in the hatchback, and it sounded good, but wasn't enough bass for me. When the bass would go from one speaker to the other, I would only hear the bass hit once, instead of going back and forth. I wanted the bass to hit when it went from the left speaker to the right. If anyone has anymore ideas let me know. Sorry for the long post, I had to vent ![]() |

![]() Two Adire Audio Shiva 12's, $125 each. I rather unknown brand but very good for the money. www.adireaudio.com Or you could run two Kicker Comp VR 12's
For a amp I would suggest a JBL bp600x1. You can pick one up for $188 from Scala1 on E-Bay.(bought a lot of my stuff from him)
