I dont currently own a Falcon although it seems highly probable i will get an ED before years end. Only problem is, as a Uni student next year, i will be taking it to uni most days, about a 30 minute drive. This would shoot me in the foot as far as petrol costs go so I'm looking for a gas conversion.

So thats my story, now heres my problem.
The gas cylinder usually goes in the boot hard pressed against the rear seats. I would like to use this area for sub woofers and sub box. You know, fold the seats down and have the subs showing in the cabin area.... Are there any alternative places the gas cylinder can be placed?? Under the car? replace the fuel tank with a smaller on to make room for it under there??

Or will i be stuck with a car with out bass.

thanx for ur help......

So the sub in that topic is between the gas tank and the back seats??
Is it in a box?? or not??

Thanks again.

Station wagons running duel fuel often have a cut down petrol tank, with a gas tank in the remaining space that the petrol tank used to occupy. It leaves about 30ish litres for each tank.

Perhaps something like this is available for sedans, and if not, perhaps it could be fabricated???

why not put your sub behind the gas tank, in the boot?

the bass doesnt get through into the cabin very well if u put it in the boot sealed of from the rest of the car.

That's not strictly true, I've heard two systems where the subs are behind the gas tank in the boot (jbolger and bass crazy), and I can VERY confidently say that PLENTY of bass gets through to the cabin!!!

okie doke.
Well sounds like I'll just put the tank where it usually goes then. :)

I've got a pioneer 12" 600w sub in my boot powered by a 400w V-net amp all set in the boot behind the gas tank and there is plenty of bass. Its not quite as punchy, but then I can always place the sub on the back seat. If its not enough, just make a setup like bass crazy....
