A 6 1/2 Sub?

Hey guys,

A buddy of mine gave me a 6 1/2 sub woofer last night because he didn't need it.  It's a generic 4 ohm 175 watts peak.  I checked it out and is sounds good connected to an old head JVC tape deck I keep for testing purposes but would a sub this size produce any good low level sound?  I was thinking that I could use this in my ford cargo van but I wanted to get some opinions before i go making plans for this thing.

thanks

That would give you good Mid Bass..

If your looking for some good low bass then the answer would be no. You would be better off buying a good cheap 10 inch sub. They are generally used in conjunction with a sub for better mid/low bass like Maxst said. Are you going to add this to a factory system or do you have aftermarket equipment?

I was going to add this to a full aftermarket system in my ford cargo van (no seats in the back).  My speakers play loud and extremely clear (almost no distorstion at high volume levels) but i have very little low end sound.  

My system specs are as follows:

Head Unit: Panasonic CQ-DP103U 45x4 22 watts RMS

Front Speakers: Pioneer TS-G1647 6.5's

Rear Speakers: Pioneer TS-A6960R 6x9's

All speakers running off the internal amp with 18 guage wire.

Keep in mind i use my van (a full size 87 Ford Econoline 250) to haul stuff (mainly my R/C airplane with a 9 foot wing span) so I need a sub that will fit under one of my front seats.  So any recommendations would be appreciated.
