i know alot of race cars just run the essential to keep weight down but im wondering if anyone has a stereo system on theyre caged up track cars please post pics!!!

 

im sure people do. i dont tho...i drift an FB. i feel you on that losing your job deal...sucks huh?

:AA:

 

yeah dude not working sux,,, i want to see what people have i used to go to willow without a stereo and waiting in the line to start your run is boring without music at least to me it is

 

Cut out the back of your glove box and run a deck there, run the 2 door speakers and a sub if you care to hear your music over the noise of the car.

 

pretty much the set up i am working on....minus the sub.

 

If i ever get bins i want to put a 10w7 in my fc. Just one. Maybe a kicker L7 12..... I like tight bass but not obnoxious rattling. Glad i grew out of that phase.... I did have 2 12's and a 1000w rms amp and they were too big, not heavy, just too much for the tiny *** car.

 

thats actually what i was thinking of doing but i really dont need too much bass,i was askin about the stereos cuz ive never had one in my track cars until i saw the thin magnet subs and mids those things looked lighter than the stock ones i figured that be pretty sick, i have the fiberglass peices that the bins go in, if you want them come pick them up

 

I'm not driving across the country for bins but thanks for the offer.


10w7's are AWESOME speakers. All it takes for them to sound really good is a decent amp (500/1, no audiobahn flea market bullshit) and a box built by someone who knows something about air and sound.

 

oh hahah i didnt see that you werent in cali my bad

 

My car at one point had 2 shitty speakers in the rear ziptied in, ran to a mini amp, with a ipod

 

damn cant get lighter than that,,, i was just goin to get my headphones and ipod and be done

 

ipod hooked up to amp running to the speakers. about as simple as it gets

 

It's awesome for sitting in staging. I listen to my engine while I'm driving though.

 

If your "nice" at stereos you don't even need to bother with a deck. I've done once in my E30 where I spliced headphone jacks and just wired up the ipod to link directly to the speakers. That saves weight and still sounds good.

Side note: I can't listen to music when I drive for the sheer intensity of it, aka race. Engine only... Trust me the engine noise is a very good indicator of where your car is as far as the level control you hold of over your vehicle and engine safety.

 

this....

I do the same thing.
