[mike_w]

is that the smartest idea??, i dont think it will take long until they have been stomped to pieces,

[dudette]

What made you do that!?

[diablosvy]

llama why oh why would that be a good idea?

First someones gona step on it and probably crack it, secondly your stageing is going to be wánk

[Ollybee]

your stageing is going to be wánk

Agreed, does look like a nice job though, shame they're on the floor!

[NJ]

That's one hell of a nice job you done there, but again pointless as it will be wrecked by your passengers.

Thin line between a genius and insanity.

[gordyshreds]

wohhhh wohhhhhh with brining it down.ok,first in the pix i moved the chair back for the photos.when it's in the position it normally sits in their is no chance of them being stepped on.people have a ride in the car and dont even know theirs a speaker bellow them.i know sq isnt going to be great,but im not after quality,just loud to be honest!basically ive got no back seats as i use it as a van for my kite surfing gear and bmx.i used to have a sub in the boot n that,but since i took it all out ive had a 4 channel phoenix gold laying about with no use....so one weekend i thought,right,lets chuck 4 speakers in the front!and thats what i did!
basically made shallow mdv holders,fixed to the floor then fitted new
carpet on top!it's all a good laugh!before anyone thinks i did it to be ''cool''
i def did not!just had an idea n went with it.fair enough sound quality isn't perfect,but 2 coaxial's and 2 components running off a quality 4 channel.i't dont sound all that crap!

[Peter]

im not after quality,just loud to be honest!

then don't bother with a headunit or amp - just buy some massive speakers and connect them to the battery direct. That should make a pretty loud noise.

[rtlee88]

was talkin to ya on the last topic about this! i think that looks really well! like you say once the seats rolled forward nobody will notice! just readin everyones comments there, how does it sound?

[gordyshreds]

to peter with the lovely white fiesta.shut up.I made it clear i wasn't after tip top sound quality.and in a fiesta what is wrong with music coming from the floor?yeah your legs are their but it doesnt make it sound crap.
now the other reply,thanks,its actually a really easy build to do.and it sounds really good.I can understand where people are coming from,going on aout sound stage etc etc that they've prob read.at the end of the day its a '95 fiesta im using as a van 4 my gear,i really couldnt care if its not quite right listening 2 track 12 on mozarts greatest hits ya know?

[diablosvy]

Its nothing to do with what we've read, its more to do with the fact that its going to muffle the vocals as you have the mat over the top
As for stageing, you obviously havnt a clue what it is...have a look at any competition level system as these are the benchmarks by which most car audio enthusiasts set their standards, I can gaurentee you non have had the genious to put the speakers in the floor under floor mats
Most people like to hear clear undestorted vocals...you obviously do not and thats your choice, but as said the stageing will be gash and the whole idea is pointless IMO

[richard_p88]

Certainly a novel idea, and for that i like it even looks pretty tidy too.

As most have said though i imagine the seat cushion does muffle alot of the sound from them.

You should get 6x9's and just turn up the bass, should produce quite a kick being right underneath you.

[Priezti]

whole time ive been in the car audio industry, never seen that, congrats

[gordyshreds]

their not under mats.their open and face slightly away from the seat.ive said it a 1000 times,im not after sq,just did it cos wanted 4 speakers up front.anyway,thanks to those that understand it being a fresh and funky idea and to those getting bothered about slightly muffled vocals....which i dont suffer from,start a fresh post and winge in their with each other

[gordyshreds]

people winge about where the speakers are.what about door speakers?they fired str8 into your ankles and the centre console across the bottom of the car.its really not much difference.it sounds fine,looks good and fresh,im happy with it cos ive never seen it before and i like trying new things.

You've hit the nail on the! Cause the fiesta has the worst position for door speakers. Bye the way, a mate of mine did this in his polo end of '90's (didn't look as good as yours mind) but still sounded s**t.

Thats why you have tweets in the a-pillars and midbass in the doors

[gordyshreds]

i've got mids in doors n tweeters above the air vent.the extra 2 in the floor just add some loudness n fun.youve made your point that you think itl sound gash,ive said it hasnt n im really not bothered,thats dat m8

[diablosvy]

Sorry mate iv read over what i put and i was a tad harsh...as said looks like a very good job just shame about sound

[gordyshreds]

lol its cool no worrys

[XRMike]

What a good idea as it suits you for what you use the car for.
A mates brother put a 2 8" subwoofers in custom boxes underneath the front seats in his rover to allow him to use his boot and they sounded great.

[Ollybee]

Subs are different though as they knock out lower frequencies and the sound isn't muffled so much.

[XRMike]

Yeh i understand,bass wont matter i guess, was just giving another example.
Actually thinking of trying it out myself sometime

[richard_p88]

Underseat subs would Kick Arse!! Literally!! I say give a go.

[gordyshreds]

yeah,id love to fit some bigger ones where mine are.maybe some of them 6x9 subs.it al depends on how deep they are tho becuase the shallower the better unless u want it 2 stick out a mile!!

ALot of people with 2 seater sports cars like MR2's or Ferrari, Porsche's etc do this, or they put them in the glove compartment, as obviously boot space is limited or non-existent

[GeForce Junky]

Is there enough depth below fiesta seats to fit a 8" or 10" sub?

This sounds like a idea I might have to investigate.

[gordyshreds]

i doubt under the seat no.my amp only just fits under.though i think you can get some really shallow ones now,can't remember who does em.or try home cinema wall mounts etc.but then your talking big money!!you can get 6x9 subs,think by vibe???yeah ive herd of glovebox mounted subs too,imagine the rattle if you put one in your fiesta....crazy!i do miss bass so im thinking up a plan 4 that atm!
