Default Wiring questions

Mildly OT as the wiring is for car audio, but I suspect I might get a bit
more sense here.


Well, I don't know what's going down in uk.rec.audio.car - been a while
since I stepped in that...

I'm going to be fitting some speakers, a subwoofer and an amplifier to my
car. The subwoofer is there due to the near impossibility of getting deep
bass out of the ordinary speaker fittings present, not to test the
fixings of the interior trim.


I went to the expense of fitting an amp, bought some dynamat (unused) for
the doors, got a woofer (unused) for the boot, found some wood for the
speaker cabinet (also unused). Ran some fancy crossovers and individually
placed front woofers and tweets..

Above unused components came about since I realized how much of a prat I'd
look booming around my local neighbourhood, how it would make my attention
to driving worse and how it all fitted would make my car a prime target
for all the local prats who'd want to lift it all off.


I've done my sums and with the enclosures available in a car, the speakers
will hit -3db at something like 120-130Hz IIRC. That's why a sub's required.
Booming around is not the intention.
