What do I need to buy to have this in my car?
- bob1029 4y agoYour car likely does not have enough volume to accommodate the required equipment. Just one of these subwoofers occupies the entire bed of a typical pickup truck. Two of these are used in my listening space. The lower the loudspeaker goes, the bigger it needs to be.
- squarefoot 4y agoYou can at least partially trade width with depth, that is, making a speaker narrower but design it so that the cone can travel farther and move the same air volume, but it also have drawbacks, and thicker speakers are also harder to accomodate.
- aidenn0 4y agoThe smaller the volume of air you need to move, the less this matters (which is why IEMs have more bass than tiny bookshelf speakers, despite being way smaller. It should be theoretically possible to do just replace the trunk and backseat of a saloon and have a 2 seater with good bass extension
- fshbbdssbbgdd 4y agoI think we are taking about the bass shaking your chest. IEMs can’t do that.
- aidenn0 4y agoIEMs can develop high pressures at low frequencies because the volume of air they are moving is very small. A compact car with the windows rolled up here is analagous to the ear canal in the IEM. If 50% of the internal space of the car is speakers (easily achievable if you remove the backseats and use the trunk space), then you ought to be able to generate large pressures at low frequencies as long as the windows are rolled up.
- user_7832 4y agoI'm not sure that's entirely true/necessary. Standing waves in the cabin can help compensate a decent bit. A good transmission line speaker can likely fit in the boot/trunk, though stereo imaging will likely be poor in any car audio system I think.
