Point them to the rear or put them in the rear deck

 

thought about the rear deck but i dunno i dont think they'll fit. my boy was telling me to do the same i might just try it out.

 

Here's a great article on this subject. On the other hand the low end could be quite dangerous with the proper infinite baffle set-up hanging from the rear deck as cam mentioned

Are you Mr Marv, as in the box building guy from Elite?

 

rear

especially in sedans...

from personal experience, i'd have to agree with the article. for the most part, bass performance will be good with the box against the rear seats with the subs firing to the rear.

the best performance i ever got was with the box all the way to the rear tailights and the subs firing upwards (towards the trunk lid). of course, it's the least practical position for trunk space.

I just read that hole article. I have my sub facing sideways, I guess I'm missing out on bass. (Runs out to move sub around...:ugh3: )

 

well i made my ported box for my 15" L7 and i have it facing the trunk lid...to me it sounds better that way but i still feel there's bass lost somewhere in there or maybe im expecting more out of 900watts lol.

 

Hmmm, 900 watts should crush your head. I have 420 watt RMS going to my single 12" and it crushes my head. Maybe because it's in a smaller car.

 

well...i guess since it's such a big box in a small trunk it doesnt transfer the bass into the cab that well but yea it does thump really hard cuz i can hear when i stand behind the car. i wanna sound dampen my trunk some more...a lot more.

 

yea 900 watts does make it sound great but...i want more lol. there's a lot of bass lost in the trunk since it's such a small trunk. i was thinking of making a box w/ a port going to the rear deck.

 

if you wanna get loud, why not just go with some subwoofers from Digital Designs?


edit, ive heard of some good numbers on the new type R's as well.

 

louder than the solobaric? i like solos cuz they have a lot of potential...i had 2 10s and jesus ppl thought i had something bigger. i've also seen one 12"L5 thump really frikkin hard...can be heard from blocks away. i wanna know wats the best 15 i can get to sound really loud.
