Guys, what do you thing about Pandas ?

[The enD 467]

I have a friend in America that keeps saying Fiat Panda gets very loud and I should buy one for my project.

It has something to do with the vehicle's acoustics and the shape of the car... like Honda CRX's.

Sean and Jacob are at SBN right now, and Sean said there is a Panda ... Something like 158db - 2 x 15's

In Bulgaria I can find some Pandas for cheap... the cheapest one is 350$ ! And some better ones for about 500-700$.

What do you guys heard about Pandas? Is it true about them and SPL?

I am thinking about two Nightshades 18's or 15's if there is not enough space. Wall or no wall? If I go with a wall does the vehicle really matter that much? With a box somewhere in behind the shape of the car takes place, but with a wall everything is almost the same- wall, seats, windshield.

And the car is not the best looking one nor with a powerful engine like others... only 60hp, just does not feel right for a daily car.

My goal is daily loud vehicle for my addiction for the Lows, mainly demos(hair tricks and ppl bailing out ) and some competitions.

I don't know... just researching. Any thoughts ?

What you hear about their SPL is true, but they are not allowed in db Drag if I remember correctly.

I live in Bulgaria. No rules here.... hehe

If it is true... how much is the gain. We are talking about some other car with properly done system and the same equipment in a properly done Panda. How much would be the difference. Just to get the idea is it really worth it.

Fiat=Fix It Again, Tony. But seriously, it would be cool as hell to put a monster system in something like that and pull up in front of a bunch of people and just unleash.

hummmm..... i wonder what the shipping cost would be to iowa...... humm hehehe, but ya from what i have seen the get crazy loud easy

the panda is loud but more of a one note wonder not the type of car you really want to use for low bass plus there is a lack of space for batteries which is fine for a one note 3 second burst

What I wanted to know. Thanks.

What type of car should I go with then? Loud and low, probably walling it off. I am not going to make it strictly for a demo car, but rather than a daily car with very loud system.

What do you think about Toyota Celica T20?

Much room behind the back seats.

don't want to threadjack but I'm curious how a 2door jeep wrangler would be? I only have a single 10" at the moment in my TJ so I can't really say how mine is. The top(roof) is all plastic/fiberglass or whatever instead of metal. Plus the cabins small...

over here panda / marbella compete in their own db-drag class .

I'm working on one ...turning one into an SQ car....

A few pics if you'll allow me to :

accomodating space to run wires through a rubber.

made space to house a big battery ( stainless steel housing)

full custom doorpanels with a kick driver high up in the door

....and yes thats a stainless steel ring holding the 6.5'kick driver

finally the rings for the mids , which i think are uber-sexy !

sorry bout that ... this is a topic about panda's right ?

as for a daily driver I'd stick to hatchbacks ( golf, A3, 306/307 , focus , magane )

if you want to peak really low go bigger ...an Espace or Vito could be an option .

It will be my first car. So I won't have anything to compare it to, like some other builds I've done that dropped low. And just to mention for me low is 34-35... not those builds I see with 15 or 20hz tuning

How much of a difference would I feel with a 4Runner compared to a Celica ?

Maybe two 15's. Loud daily vehicle. Rap music.

Once again, it will be my first car/system and I haven't felt the low bass from a big car and going with a smaller car I won't hear a difference.

The Celica weights less, better MPG, cheaper on the pocket (the tires on that 4Runner are much more expensive+the taxes I have to pay for a bigger motor... 3 liter V6) ...

I don't worry about removing the back seat of the celica and placing one big box. I don't need the rear.

You shouldn't buy your first car based on what you can put in it. Perhaps a deciding factor between two, but not the exclusive reason.

My main reason for buying a car is to put a system in it. From that point on I look for a reliable car, good looking, cheap to the pocket-mpg and affordable to keep on the road.

I know VW Golf sound very good. In Bulgaria, it should be easy to find one in a good shape. They're strong and reliable.

You can fit more sub/amps/batts in it !and still have passengers.

The pandas are not comfortable at all, and I don,t think you will find parts for upgrades.

I want a Toyota. My father had 3, sold one and now have 2. I have driven them all and I love them all.

And I asked around lots of people about Celica T20... all say good about them so I am pretty sure about the brand and model.

[Notorious on mobile 0]

Go for the Celica.

Beautiful and powerful car.

What will you have in it, finally ?

[The enD 467]

Remove the back seats. Put a ported box with two 18's or 15's (have to see how much space I have to work with) Nightshades I hope.

I am wondering on changeable ports just to make some better scores at competitions. We haven't hit many good numbers here at BG so I'll try to be the first one.
