And so it came to pass, on 07-06-96 20:00,
   that BOB ALLMAN spake unto Rob Appleyard:
 BA> Rob,   Your the first whose had a personal listen to those new subs
 BA> by Pioneer that fit into the spare tire, etc.  Frankly I'm not
 BA> surprised. 
I've heard them in a showroom... they sound about as good as you'd expect for 
low-frequency drivers in a plastic shell :)
 BA> Like Bonnie, I'm not interested in having a boom car, but rather
 BA> clean bass reproduction.  Unfortunately, with a 2 seater sports
 BA> car, the biggest I could fit without interfering with something
 BA> would be 6.5" tubes.  
Ick!
 BA> If they'd help extend low frequency response I'd be satisfied; but
 BA> boom NOPE!   
You won't get any kind of "audiophile-quality" output from generic bass 
tubes.  Even in something as cramped as a Fiero or MR2, there's plenty that 
can be done to custom-build a decent enclosure for a quality sub.
What kind of car do you have?
IKEA ... Swedish for "particle board."
