Z's beater-04 Ion extreme budget build

[SublimeZ]

I picked up a commuter to allow the GTO to be garage queen. The car is rough cosmetically, but sound mechanically. Goal is a budget system that still might win a competition

Nice setup you have there. How is the sound compared to the GTO?

It sounds pretty good. Images well, stage is decently deep and wide. For spending under$300 to get it going, it's very good. But the GTO is at another level...

Surprisingly, a sealed R12 - one of the tightest sounding subwoofers I've experienced. It's awesome how good a lower budget daily setup can sound, and you used some very good equipment there. Kudos sir!

Thanks, just something I threw together. I'm kinda ruint. Can't stand a stock system anymore

Tweet pix, Bought these for the GTO and mounted them on axis. They sounded good, but stage would rise with volume. So, tried a new tactic in Saturn with better results.

Too hot to get in it
