Bass from Rear Speakers

[400HP]

I've got a n00bie question. I've currently got a JLw04 sub with a Fusion 1000w amp. I want to get rid of my sub to free up the boot.

Can I get decent bass from rear speakers instead. I am not after loudness anywhere near what the sub can do. I'm just after abit of crisp bass to complement my front speakers.

If I can do this will I still need an amp? Any suggestions on speaker models and amps?

Thanks

i guess a good set of rears speakers will provide some bass, no where near the bass from a sub/amp combo of course. dont get 6x9's. speak to your local car audio shop, if your in melb check out gayrs car radio in preston, good advice they give. maybe ask fhrx (he's on here) he works at an audio shop in nsw (maybe sydney??). ive got 6" alpine coax speakers in my parcel shelf and they sound great, i also have subs however (2 x 12") but if i turn off the subs i still get some good sounding bass

Hey guys, while you cannot achieve bass equal to a full powered sub you can get a fair amount of bass in the car using a few tricks. You can use a high powered set of quality splits at the front and using HEAPS of sound deadening, you can cross the speakers quite low (around 30-50hz). But you'll need serious power to run them this low.

Another option is to run free air subs in the rear shelf. Using specially made spacer plates you can put two infinate baffle 8" where the factory rears usually reside.

P.S: I do own Fhrx Studio's which is an Audio shop in Sydney.

or you can make a small sub-enclosure and fit it next to the battery.
