Members Say Ocean Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 So who drives a compact car and still manages to fit all your gear into it? It's new car time and I need something thats small and gets decent gas mileage yet still has room for cargo. '02-05 hatchback Civic SI seems what I might be lookin' at.I wonder if I can fit a recto 4x12 cab in the back with the rear seats folded? That's really all the room I'd need! How do you get your stuff around? Don't buy one, but I could easily get a half stack in a taurus if I had to. The back holds a 4x12 and that leaves the back seat open. Hell we've even fit a 4x12 in the back seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y0UNGBL00D Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 my 03 jetta holds all my stuff. it was like they designed the back seat around my PPC412. in one jetta (no passengers of course, just me): TV50 head in roadcase (front seat, in a seat belt), PPC412, gigantic pedalboard (the biggest rondo case), SG in hc case, strat in hc case, tele in hc case, bag with drum machine, MR8. mics, cables, power strips, mic stands, keyboard amp and keyboards in trunk.

Members The Anomaly Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 The band carries our own PA, and I have a good chunk of it, so a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder with about 12-13 mpg FTL. Gigs where there is house sound, I can take my 1993 Mustang LX 5.0, with: Dr. Z Carmen Ghia headAvatar Vintage 1x12Pedaltrain II pedalboard2 guitars If I'm still in this band and need a new vehicle, the Element is at the top of my list for sure.

Members this is paul Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 This is why I {censored}ing love my 05 wrx wagon. Enough room for my orange 4x12 in the back without having to fold the seats down. The rest can go on the back seat and a few things in the trunk. Oh yea, and it's AWD, quick, and still gets almost 25mpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members br1an Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 just so everyone knows, when times get tough and the band van blows up, you can fit an oversized mesa 4x12 in the trunk of a 2 door cavalier with the backseat folded down, PERFECTLY. oh as long as its a slant, cuz the slant fits right in the hole baby.

Members xmorgan socialx Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 I drive an '01 toyota camry. I can fit my half stack + guitar and bag o' cables/pedals in the trunk alone. I can fit a second rig in the back seat. it's awesome. When it's the whole band, I have a '94 Dodge Ram 250 conversion van. With a trailer behind it for gear it's the most comfortable tour van ever, the back bench folds to a bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mesa/Kramer Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 No 4x12's in this. 2x12 is a tight squeeze but fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zehn Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 I use a '04 Dodge Durango when moving my stuff around. Thing has a LOT of space, and I use every bit of it. Guitar gear is NOTHING compared to moving a whole drumset with stands, ect. I love seeing people here bitch about moving a single 4x12 In the back we can fit: 5 piece drumset 6 cymbal stands 6 cymbals Double kick pedal Halfstack and all needed cables 5-7 guitars and a bass and all pedals, etc. 1x15 bass cab If we're running a stereo rig that night, we normally have to enlist a friend to cover the extra amp/cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
