Hi, welcome to TAI brother .
Please give some details about your Current setup. Like your HU, speakers, sub and amp etc. Decrease in SQ means your speakers are not working properly , if they are 5-6 years old then probably need replacement. Give your budget and what type of SQ do you want?

Ok. But adding just a bass tube to your current setup will not increse SQ. It will add only boom boom sound nothing else. Vocals and all high frequency sound will remain same. If you are satisfied with current level of sound and missing some bass only? Then you can add the sub or basstube, otherwise you need to change the speakers first.
There is three type of bass producing systems available. Sub in a sealed enclosure ( for crip thumping bass only), bass tube ( for boom boom type bass, no crispy thumps), Sub in a ported or vented enclosure ( for both thump + boom boom).

You need to understand first that the output of your subwoofer must match almost exactly with the output of your speakers. For Eg. if you have a 300 Watt RMS subwoofer , your 4 speakers totally must have an RMS of 300 Watts or slightly more.

I doubt each of your stock speakers are more than 20 Watt RMS , so for 4 speakers your total RMS is only 80 Watts. So if you put a basstube of 300 Watt RMS , you will only hear the boom boom sound and no vocals or music. You are wasting money. First please look at upgrading your speakers , do it step by step if you don't have money now.

Ok. I will suggest you to listen ICE systems fitted with basstube and Subs to know the difference between two. Then you can decide which one you want?.
There is a good combo of JBL 1200w basstube and pioneer amp and will cost you arround 12-13k including wiring kit and labour charges.

Re: Installing basstube in Cruze need help

I want to listen it bro.
Ok if i install jbl 1200 with amplifier then it will give vocal and bass both at same time.????
Jbl 1200 or 1300 which one is good ??

 

[saroya]

Re: Installing basstube in Cruze need help

You need to install new speakers also . Then everything will be fine.
You can consider these JBL coaxials. All these will fit in your 20k budget.

Now tell me what should i change now ?

What Saroya suggested above is good. If you are on a tight budget go for JBL co-axial speakers.

 

[ishwardeep]

Can any one tell me which one will suit for all four doors speakers i have decided to change my all stock speakers.

??
will it give me good vocal after installing basstube of jbl 1300t and amplifier with boom boom + vocal also ?

Thanks for details bro.
So tell me which jbl cx63 or jbl cx62 speakers for four speakers is how much RMS so that is should suit jbl 1300t basstube ??

 

[ishwardeep]

So i have decide that on my tight budget i'm going to change all four doors stock speakers and install jbl coasxial speakers model:Jbl CX63SI and bass tube of JBL 1300t with pioneer amplifier.
So this setup will give me clarity sound plus good bass in my car ??
