Hey guys looking to add a little more bass to my r56 any decent priced ideas? Replace the stick 6x9 or ad a small sub?

 

Read about it. It makes a dramatic difference.

Yup, do this first before you start adding stuff.

 

This is definatily the best thing you can do. Helped out a ton! That being said, the system is still a little weak. I have not done anything about it yet though. I'd like to switch something out to help as well. Maybe just a speaker swap or something, but again I haven't given it much time to educate myself on the matter.

 

I heard about doing this got some info from mike at new mini stuff just haven't ordered it yet but I guess it's worth it from what you are saying

 

I did swap out the 6x9s and put in 6x9 subs.. Not really common but It does sound good to my liking. I think the main reason you don't see this done much is there are not a lot of companies that make 6x9 subs so to speak.. Theres not a huge demand for them. But the reason I went this route was I wanted to keep my boot free of all space. I should also mention I added a little sub amp.. I am surprised how well the 6x9s sound in the bass response respect. Sure im not going to blow out my back window but im not looking for nose bleed bass either.. Just a little bump in the trunk! lol..

 

Which did you go with? That sounds like a good workaround...

 

I like the sound.. To be honest..Im a bit shocked on how well they sound!There are a few companies that make them. Tang Bang makes them, also CDT makes some 6x9 subs. Also black diamond.. Tang Bang seems to be what a lot have used. Let me see if I can get a few pics up for yah!

 

These are Tang Bang

 

Heres some CDTs

 

Heres Cadence.

 

The Cadence Brand have some huge magnets.. I bought a pair for my other MINI. But I haven't installed them yet. Ive used Tang Bangs in my other MINI.. Im hoping that the Cadence will fit..lol.. There a beefy speaker!

 

Jl makes a 6x9 w7 sounds out of control
