Doors :)



8 in the boot :)



24 in a wall :D



I have a single 8" RE & I,m very happy with it.



Even two of them in the boot will sound very good. :)

m8 ive said this many times on msn to you before your corsa probably as a 70amp alt and your already pulling a fair bit of power now with that XXX now with 2 Re'8s IMO your electric system aint gonna be very happy , i think that the money would have been better spent on an upgraded alt.



just IMO



PS have you ever droped a volt meter across the batts? you could be droping well under 13v with the Re'8s i can see that droping under 12v which isnt good , if you havent it maybe worth trying before hooking the 8's up.





EDIT: how about modding the bottom half of the door cards it should come off with the about 5 screws that hold it on then you've only gotta replace that small piece if you sell the car in the future , it also looks pretty east to mod

sorry if it sounded a little bitchy m8 , but i know whats happening when i turn up the vol on my set up and it drops fast and you running more or less the same kind of power as me. i wouldnt want anyone on here having the problem i had the other week when the batteries drained and i was stuck in the middle of a right **** hole for 1 i looked a right dick 2nd i was shitting bricks at the thought of leaving the car there.





other than that dude when they are in it should sound good as far as 8" subs go :twisted: im loving my GFs
