TXT subwoofer recommendations
Hello all,
I have a 2011 electric TXT with a nice pioneer head unit and two Blaupunkt 6.5 inch speakers in a triangular box between the front/rear seats. The speakers face the small of your back when seated. Sounds great and hugely loud, but when is enough enough?... So, I bought two Pioneer 4 inch TSG1045R to mount up front. These will fit beside the cup holder and below the glove box when they are finally delivered and I get time to install. But I will still need a sub. I was wondering, mounting the sub in the bagwell and letting it face backwards means my sound will all go backwards. Has anybody mounted the sub in the bagwell facing up, down, sideways or forwards? Any issues or recommendations? Also, I have a rear seat so there is some protection from the elements. The amp is a small Alpine MRP-T130. Thinking a 10 inch sub should pair nicely. Looking for advice before I spend 5 hours wiring in the amp and building a speaker box and whatnot. I will get pictures for what is in the cart currently and post tomorrow. Thanks! Joe |

Re: TXT subwoofer recommendations
I would believe a downfiring box would be your best bet. That amp is rated at 130 watts at 2 ohms. It will be an uphill battle to get a 10" sub with that little of power to be very noticeable in such an open environment.

Re: TXT subwoofer recommendations
I have bigger amps lying around, but have really no idea how long they'd run on the dedicated 12v battery...
I was going to bridge it. On Alpine's vault site it says bridged it is RMS 130x1 at 4 ohms, Max 240x1 at 4 ohms. I think I need to bench test this on an 8" mid-bass woofer I have laying in the garage. Don't want to be pi$$ing in the wind with too little power... |

Re: TXT subwoofer recommendations
Seems like the space under the seat on the drivers side would provide more space than the bagwell and give the bass more reverberation room. For a cart I would start with an 8". Dont think that open air 10 would provide any more boom than a ported 8 in a compartment.
Before I went through all the trouble of building a box I would maybe hook it all up to a battery and see how long it lasts playing at 50% or so. |

Re: TXT subwoofer recommendations
Thanks for the location suggestion Timmyjane. I currently have my 12v marine accessory battery under the seat on the driver side and still have the controller on the passenger. Might need to revisit that if I don't like the bagwell.
Cart-Z, did you have run time issues with that amp? Assuming it was on an accessory battery and not a DC converter. I went to bench test the amp last night for volume in the garage and realized I have an old truck box with two pioneer 12s in it. Thinking I can cut it in half so it would hold one 12 and put it in the bagwell facing forward and slightly up. Then I never got back to my bench test. Here is what the box looks like (vaguely) now, just so you can see where I'm going with it. If I am thinking right, the sound should carry up and out of the bagwell towards the front of the cart since I'd have it in 'backwards', so to speak. Back to the amps then, If the little alpine won't cut it then I will just have to go up from there. I have several that are collecting dust sized from miniscule up to moronic... |

Re: TXT subwoofer recommendations
I used a powered Bazooka sub in the bagwell on mine. I'm very pleased with the sound and being powered, I didn't need to use an additional amp. I ran it through my converter and have not noticed any ill effects on battery life.

Re: TXT subwoofer recommendations
I put a 6.5inch behind the seats(gas ezgo not electric so no help on wiring) sounds pretty darn good for a small sub and doesn't overpower the radio at all and fills in the lows quite nicely.
It's a jvc cts-bb2 I used the small sub as my parents will sometimes drive the cart and I didn't want to go overboard (that's why I have my own cart but this is a family cruiser) Me I would go no less then 8inch. I will post the pic when I get the chance. |
