need Opinions for sub and amp setup i have a 97 ta convertible and desperately need some stereo improvements since i got a full exhaust. right now i have an alpine cda-9815 headunit w/ 2 6-1/2 infinity 63.5i triaxial in the front and 2 6-1/2 polk ex365 coaxial in the rear. i was thinking about putting a 10" audiobahn bass tube in the rear with a 400W mono amp, but im not sure if that will be enough. i want some decent bass and be able to hear it with the top down. the area i got to work with in the trunk is 12" depth and 29" wide. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It just depends on how much you want to spend. I know the verts have a different trunk than the hatch's so it's hard for me to say what will fit in there. I would just slap two 10's or 12's in. You might not hear a basstube much with the top down.

good luck with this.I had a stang convert same problem I tried tubes and subs in a platform neither souded good.I finnally took out the rear seats and had a custom box with 3 jl 10w6s and a punch 800 put in that seemed ok but still doesnt compare to a hard top car.

i had a 95 gt vert that i originally had a 1000 watt 12 inch sub nt eh back and pushed 450 rms watts to it...all i got was a muddy bass note and alot of rattles. sounded ok but with the top down it just wasnt worth the money i put into it. so i picked up 2 10 inch (400 watts RMS Rockford fosgates), and ran a 1500 watt 2 channel amp to them. i eneded up with 350 rms watts to each sub. i put them on the bottom where the back seat used to be, facing upwards. i used a rear seat delete kit for the mustang and added some height to it and i angled them a tiny bit towards the front but not much. I wish i had a picture of this because it actually looked pretty cool. of course it didnt feel the same as the same set up i have in the hatch of my 98z w/ttops but it was enough bump to sound good and feel good as well.
if you wanna idea on how to make such a set up pm me and i can give you some details. i didnt doa write up on this in the shitstain. i mean moostang, i mean mustang dammit, but i can probably pull some from teh memory banks to help you out.
good luck
