subs facing forward and sealed from trunk good or bad?

[ken72988]

I want the subs/vent facing into the car and the box sealed off from the trunk/car..

Why have some ppl said that haveing thier enclosure facing into the car and the rest of the box sealed from the trunk is the loudest way... and other saying that when they did it, it wasnt loud even if they completely sealed it off properly?...

any helpful info about the topic?

sry i ment pic, not sketch

yes the backseat latch will be re-attached cause when im not driving i want to put the hatch back up and noone can see the subs and would want to break-in

[Jameseypoo]

You actually posted a link to somebody doing a jump on a 4 wheeler

[bimma85]

If done properly it could work well. Is this a DD?

Don't really understand why you would want to lose your back seat though

[ken72988]

o no, once the trunk is sealed off properly, the backseats and hatch will be put back in... so when im playing the subs ill just put the hatch down, ect.

yea i used Paint aha

[Jameseypoo]

I think this is a bad idea.

[bimma85]

what car is this? I'm :confused:. I take it that it's not the car in your ava?

[ken72988]

nah, but u get the idea of what i wanna build

cavalier

[ken72988]

what u talking bout kskitka? after i said the hatch will be downn when im playing them

[bimma85]

nah, but u get the idea of what i wanna build

cavalier

cavaliers are hatchbacks?

[ken72988]

latch, u kno what im talkin bout, the topic is about sealing off a trunk lol

[Jameseypoo]

Firing to the rear almost always has greater spl.

[bimma85]

latch, u kno what im talkin bout, the topic is about sealing off a trunk lol

honestly I have know idea what you are talking about

is it a trunk car or hatchback

Latch, what latch will be left open?

[ken72988]

the "hatch/latch" is what comes down to get into the trunk, when the subs are playing the "backseat/latch" will be DOWN oviously

u kno, what your back is against when your sitting in the back seat, yea that comes down... the only time the backseat latch would be up is if someone is sitting back thier or if im not playin the subs

[savagebee]

he is referring to the backseats, Im fairly certain he is anyways

if you can do so, I would prefer to do it this way in a trnk car, for one, itll free up the trunk some, as you can pile **** in there, and not worry about damaging the subs, plus, the asthetics are pretty nice as well, If I ever do another trunk car, this is what I plan on doing

now, if you want the maximum spl, it can vary, depending on vehicle dynamics, as well as your skills

[bimma85]

would have been easier to understand if you just said you were gonna have the seats folded down most the time :laugh:


now I see what you are saying

[mrbomb]

and i believe the hatch/latch refers to the trunk lid

[speedfreak28]

if the seats fold down then the subs wouldnt be obstructed, i think thats what he's saying, but i think u's know that

[ken72988]

yeh sry bout that confusion..

so in general u think this would be loud, should this be a sealed enclosure or is it good to be slot vented?

[ultimate157]

I think it would be a good idea. You can do a false wall on the back of the box in the trunk and have the seats up when parked, 100% hidden.

[ken72988]

any other things to add that would make this louder... possibly dynamating the entire trunk but i heard that with this kind of enclosure thier is barely any trunk rattle anyway

realy tryin to make inside my car loud as possible with two 12's.... someone said they were able to hit 149dbwith two 12"type r's in this kind of enclosure (facing forward and trunk sealed off)

Firing to the rear almost always has greater spl.

Yet nearly every spl competitor fires into the cabin:confused:

[Jameseypoo]

I'm just saying, if it's going to be in the trunk of a sedan then it sounds better facing the rear from my experience

[DeboDaddy]

I would just like to say how much I enjoyed this "pic" out of the OP's photobucket page...

[Firmbiz94]

i have had better experiences with my subs facing the rear also...it at least sounds alot better..And this depends on the sub but i of course would go ported if you want spl.

[ken72988]

[PBateman]

i'm doing this same thing in my car. but with 1 15. all i have to do is start making a form around the box to the bracing of the rear deck and rear wheel wells.

its louder than facing backwards IMO.

i also have a cavalier.

anymore Q's you can pm me.

[ken72988]
