I really dont think your subs are gunna slow you down much unless you took out your back seat and put an few 350 ounce subs in the wall behind your seat :-P however if your car is doing 1/2 mile runs and your trying to shave an second or two most people pull there sub box out before they go to the track an sub box is no diffrent then haveing an kid sitting in your back seat it dosnt make an huge diffrence. But if your talking an second slower it could help to pull them its more your call.id tare out my ac,power steering, cruse contoll, get rid of my seats, carpet, door pannals, heater, spare tire, balance shaft belt ect before id go worrying about subs lol but thats just me peace -
Depending on the vehicle, hp/tq, and random other things it's roughly 100lbs=1/10th of a second in the quarter mile. So unless you're going to put your car on a serious diet I wouldn't bother with it too much. If you do want to then look into aftermarket seats and gut everything. All in all if this is your daily driver you might not want to go that route. I don't have anything in my car other than what's absolutely necessary to drive it but then again I could care less about ac and everything lol.Comment

I don't have ac, ps, cc, my trunk is gutted, wall behind the seats has been cut out, back window replaced with plexi glass, and anything and everything under the hood for the most part has been removed. Hell even brackets under the hood have been tossed and now have zip ties lol. Then again I have a roll cage so i'm probably not far off from what the car's original weight was to begin with lol.Comment

Yeah pretty much. Most of it was that way when I got it and then I did a little bit more weight reduction. It's really only bad when it rains because of the lack of ac. There's more road noise too but here that's something that just doesn't bother me.Comment

I'd just keep the subs in the car...its not like you racing for money or anything major,Now if you running full blown turbo and at the track every weekend I'd pull the system out.

I'm all about the creature comforts, AC, CC, PS, my system. I just build the car to be quicker every chance I get, regardless of what I put in it. I did remove the spare, jack, toolkit and some other crap to help offset the weight of my subs and because my trunk build would have made them useless anyway.Comment

Do it. See if you notice a diffrence. If you do and you like it keep it that way, if you do not, then put it back.Originally posted by deevergoteComment

I seriously doubt it'll make a difference now my cause it will(two 65lb woofers 88lb box 6cubes extra batteries etc..)...but if you do pull your ac I'll take it all!

well......thats all up to you. personaly i have 4 tens. i have nevr even thought about the weight or how it would affect my speed. i am a cruiser. speed limit or less. i love my honda but i would nevr use it for racing.Comment

it's a personal choice. I haven't rocked subs in a hot minute. If i ever did get a sub its a single 10 in a sealed box.
My civic was completely gutted. All i had was doorpanels, 2 seats, and my dash. I prefer it that way since that was my project car. My Teg was full interior, and stock audio.
think about what it is you want. if you want to go fast you need to remove weight or add power.
if you want to go even faster add power and remove weightComment
