Bass, Balance, and Bad Decisions: Building the Perfect Sound System (Kinda)
This episode of prjct.POD, we turn down the exhaust and turn up the volume—literally. Justin hijacks the episode to talk about building the perfect car sound system for his E36 drift project, and John (our resident bass-head) goes full send on speaker science, amp matching, and the long-lost art of trunk rattling.
We get into:
✅ John’s obsession with chest-thumping bass vs. Justin’s OEM+ sound goals
✅ Why modern tech makes even 6.5” subs sound amazing
✅ Budget DIY tips using junkyard speakers and marine amps (yes, really)
✅ How to actually choose the right amp and why matching RMS is crucial
✅ Why you probably don’t need 3 amps in your car... but we tried it anyway
✅ Clever speaker setups that won’t ruin your trunk space or weight balance
Plus, John teases his anti-gravity battery upgrade, and Justin shares his plan for a stealthy, roll cage-friendly setup. If you’ve ever thought about upgrading your sound without ruining your build—or just love the nostalgia of homemade bass boxes—this one’s for you.
