sir what do you mean by "Leap in Tonality?

sorry po medyo slow ako.. :D

better overall sound quality bro. the same goes with home audio/theater, a properly setup sub can help improve the mids and highs.

Since nasa car audio thread tayo, setup na natin yang Swift mo!

I see, thanks sir, follow up question lang, you mean bukod sa subwoofer na nasa trunk ay mas ok po ba maglagay pa ng underseat sub?

meron kasi akong spare na active underseat sub sa bahay kaya naitanong ko lang po...

Just use one subwoofer. Contrary to popular opinion, doing two might be more detrimental to your sound quality than just one depending on its placement and settings.

hahaha walang budget bro, if ever baka drivers lang palitan ko. tangband palang so far naiisip ko kunin bro, pwede kaya yun sa auto?

Yes. Hell, I've even recommended them to a person who imported Tangband midranges for use in his car.

hi bro any particular model you can recommend? di ko kasi alam size ng speakers ng swift, standard ba ito or kailangan pa fabricate?

Bro, which active underseat subs do you recommend aside from those pricey ones from Focal? Already auditioned some from AVT and Pioneer and they sounded like farts. The audible frequency coming from them messes up the midrange, then when you set it low, you won't hear or feel a thing.

AFAIK, Swift uses the industry-standard 6 1/2" mounts. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a fan of Tangband midbass. If you can find yourself some Silver Flutes or Peerless SLS, that'll be great. I'm also quite fond of Dynavox (Dynavox LW6004PMR 6-1/2" Woofer).

Rather than a normal tweeter, I would recommend you go for the full-range plus midbass combo to save up on fabrication costs. Something like a 2" Vifa (Vifa NE65W-04 2" Full Range Woofer) enclosed in a DIY tennis ball enclosure crossed at 800hz upwards would be great if you plan on mounting it on the dash. Or better yet, throw them on the sails. You want them on-axis as much as possible.

Now, the next problem will be the head unit.

I'm not up-to-date regarding active underseat subwoofers. However, I also won't recommend the Focal one. Too pricey for what it's worth - you can only spend so much on physics. Depending on the car, you can probably throw in a slim-mount 10" sealed subwoofer there.

Why not simply tune your midbass to dig down lower? Most people I know who use a 50hz cutoff on their midbass with a EQ boost on the lower-end tend to be quite satisfied with the music unless you're really expecting the output of a subwoofer. Truth be told, most good midbass drivers can handle quite a bit of excursion.
