Default Earthquake SWS-6.5X

Has anyone tried putting the Earthquake SWS-6.5X in the tourpak pods?? And if so what were your thoughts on it? I know they won’t be heard on the highway but should be able to hear them around town.

Those speakers have a recommendation for
.2 to .4 sealed enclosure.

You will benefit more from a good midbass or coax in that location over the sub

Give them a try.

The forum has gotten stale with all referrals to the cookie cutter systems.

No one goes out and tries other options anymore as it once was here on the forum.

You may find a diamond in the rough.

Please report your findings on let us know.

I have them sitting here now just need to find the time. Probably in a couple weeks I’ll get around to it. I have a Sony XAV-7000 so I also wanted to try driving them using the Sonys internal subwoofer amp circuit. Because why not.

This guy did it:


I'm all for more bass but I really don't think this would be "valuable" in the long run
