I'm not after anything too horrendous, just something with a bit more bass and treble.Being a ute I'm ideally looking for something like shallow mounted sub. I just went down to a local Alpine store and they got me thinking about THESE amplified subs... Whats the general consensis about these?They also showed me a Ipod type adapter for BA/BF's which lets you control the ipod via the vehicle controls. It also runs off your ACC so it won't keep playing after you turn the car off. Does anyone have one? What are they like?Cheers,J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at they're little book. Its specifically made for the BA/BF. Kinda looks like a normal aux plug, but has RCA's and some box looking doohickies. I'm guessing that'd have something to do with the steering wheel controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sicklaser Member 183 Member For: 18y 3m 1d Location: Mackay QLD Posted 02/06/09 08:42 PM Share Posted 02/06/09 08:42 PM I havent come across a decent sub/amp in one box yet.just put a 4 channel under the passanger seat to run some splits in the front and a 12" behind the seat.if you think you might need the space behind the seat at times, just mount a 7pin small trailer socket in the side of the box and put the trailer plug on the speaker wire. makes it nice and easy to dissconnect and take out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
