    I used two 12 inch pioneer free-air sub before powered by tekline amps mounted on a 1 inch thick na MDF. Lakas ng bayo. No problem with the trunk space pa.

    hmmmm... I might consider this. Free-air sub din siya, right? It looks like mapapa-free-air sub ako, either installed on the board at the back, or at the back of the backseat. It may not carry the same punch as that of a boxed-sub, but it will do for me. Mukhang ok rin naman siya (not that bad), based on the comments of the other free-air users here.

    Any specific brand/model of free-air subs available locally na recommended ok gamitin?

    Thanks again.

    I suggest go for auditions. Look for people in free air sub setup or "space saving" setup. :D

    Scott Buwalda and Jason Winslow won in the last IASCA finals and both used Free air subs.. as long as the subs are properly installed, free air subs can sound good

    in my old set up, medyo 89 pa... I used earthquake subs na nasa backboard...

    during that time, the MORE important issue was the amp, and the crossover... dami kasi noon nagdadaya using resistors lang for the crossover, tapos isang amp lang sa lahat!... lousy set up.

    dapat single amp for the subs alone, another amp for your mids to get proper "bayo" (minimum of 2 amps)... and the proper tuning of the crossover

    free air sub should be fine enough... and do change the backboard

    I forgot to mention... personally I dont like subs behind the rear seats... parang muffled yung sound... and the fact na walang box yung sub mas hirap lalo... just my 2 cents

    well, usually if I want to make "bayo", i'll pull down the back seats so the subwoofers will not be muffled.
