just wondering if anybody has done any special stuff with there car audio in there 1200 utes?????. I am thinking about fitting a sub but am unsure about how 2 go about it!!!. If anybody has done so, then please feel free to give me some ideas??
Thanks guys

B120_Dat posted some pics for a memeber, LAcky was his name (maybe??) He has a 12" mounted inverted into a box (bolted in so that the magnet is on the outside and the sub is pointing inwards) made to contour the floor of teh passenger's footwell, quite a shallow box but very wide. Might be worth a look, might help you spawn your own variation

Cheers

I have used sub tubes or bazoka tubes with a lot of success. Cause a ute cab is small, you dont need so much noise, so an 8" in a tube does the trick fine. All you have to do is trick it behind he passenger seat and there you go. Sure a bigger sub, will give you more bass, but I find too much makes me sick! an 8" in a small cab like a 1200 ute is heaps. I havent seen a sub tube for sale for a while, so they might be hard to get, but if ou can find a 2nd hand one, ditch the old speaker, and put in a newie, then voila new sub tube.

the dudes name was flacky or big flacky type that into search and ull find the pics, if u want an idea where to mount ur sub, piss the passenger seat off and fill the side of the car with subs and ####, bobs ur auntie enough room in datto ute for stereo equipment.another idea ive thought of rip out heater and fab up a mad mdf box subbie in the middle two big 6 by 9's each side.

i thought bout this and there is a few ways to do it if u dont mind cutting holes in ur ute.
My mate installs for a living, 1 way is to mount the sub in the tray box the rear and run ports into the cab, another is to cut a hole in your cab say for a 12inch sub and box in the rear in the tray.
I could not bring myself to cut up my ute but if you can there some ideas.
cheers

i wouldnt be to keen on cuttin holes in my precious lil ute, and i dont think i would like to remove the seat either. The sub in a tube sounds a good idea. I have also heard of this sub that is made that is like the size of a text book. The sub actually fits in the text book size thing(like an amp with a the sub in the middle!!). That would mount right under the seat.Anybody else got some suggestions

Tommy,

You could make a mount for a sub to go on top of the transtunnel just in front of the heater unit. Cause the 8" subs are quite small (not very deep) it wouldn't take up too much room, only problem would be that someone could rip it out quite easily....

Amps go great under the seat though, mine has been there for a log while and never had a problem.

have fun!

i've said it before but no-one has commented on the idea, i figure if i had a ute i'd be putting a box under the glovebox, like some 1200s have a parcel shelf mounted there, the parcel shelf doesnt get int he way and i figure the space is plenty big enough for a good sub (10 or maybe 12") pointing downwards

you can see the shelf in this pic, it's a plenty big enough space i reckon, just mounting a sub box there would be a little tricky

i'm in the process of fitting a stereo system to the ute. i have an 8" that i will put in a moulded fibreglass box behind the passenger seat...amp can live under a seat.....heres a pic of the splits i mounted to the kick panels

datto_ute,
Where did you buy those speaker surround\riser thingo's, I'm looking for the same thing for my wagon?
