Photographic proof my Base Stinger GT has subs under the seats

[MIGULZZ]

I'm not sure if it was this thread but the subs don't push air because they are ported into the body.

 

[Manaz]

They absolutely do push air - in both directions (forward and back) as the cone moves. They cannot move air in one direction but not the other.

So I started "testing" the speakers and didn't feel anything from the two that were under the seats even though I can hear the bass when I play my music. How do I know if they're working properly.

You play a bass test video from YouTube and lay a dollar bill on the sub. Loud enough the bill leaps off the sub. But it will quiver if it doesn't leap off.

(Where was this thread last summer when we debated "subs or not"???)

I put the Super Bees on my fenders!

Stingpar? Mokia? Super GT? Stinger Bee?

Ok, enough of that tomfoolery ...

 

[Mesmorino]

My understanding is the only Stingers w/o subs is the base 2.0t.

All Canadian base 2.0s have subs.

I swear mine has the speaker covers but no sound. the upgraded model comes with the extra speakers. I'm almost 100 percent sure the base gt in Canada doesn't have it. when i tested the top model gt there was a noticeable difference in sound and base.

Do the dollar bill test, you'll see it quiver.

this afternoon. also has anyone upgraded them ? must be a super thin speaker ? probably costly

Nobody that I've read/heard of has replaced the under-seat subs; but some have supplemented with a sub box in the hatch.

Why not give these a try first? I've found my bass very rewarding: I have the HK 15 speaker system; but bass is bass; on demand, those under-seat subs have really belted out all the bass any metal has delivered.

I thought the base was decent in my GT2 until I drove my son’s Kia Rio. Man that thing thumps like nothing I have heard before.

Oh, I forgot to mention my son put two 12s in a large enclosure in his trunk with a nice Rockford Fosgate amp pushing them. There really is no comparison between any factory system and even a half decent aftermarket system when it comes to bass.

trust me i know, my civic about 15 years ago had a great system in it (rockford fosgates also lol) no comparison at all

They are sealed. Not ported.

sub port

and for those saying they dont or barely work, they have a very heavy taper LPF. like 40hz and under. everything over that is being put mostly in the doors.

for example, play this song.

Oh Stock, how could you.

That is indeed - the port, that ports into the sealed chamber.

Definitely the subs only operate at very low frequencies - such as below 40'ish hz
Most music is played through the door speakers.
