Yeah, maybe stick some deadener on the bare metal before you spray the bedliner. How much power are we talking?

Rings? I've had to make them before because the factory speaker mount was plastic, and I've had to make them so the windows would clear the magnets when lowered. I used my router with a circle cutting jig

I wouldn't even bother with them. I had a Tahoe, at one point I had the rear doors hooked up to the headunit for passengers, but sitting in the back you couldn't hear them over the front speakers.

Sorry, but after 1k watts I don't use the trunk anymore. You waste too much energy, and you'll be fixing a new rattle every week. The sub and the port needs to vent directly to the cabin and the cabin needs to be sealed off from the trunk. I don't know how you're going to do this with a box...

Well, for starters, your box has to work with your car. Some pics would be nice....

For me the most important thing is soundstage, which means pulling the stage up front, crucial to have strong midbass because anything above around 70 Hz is directional. You want directional frequencies in front of you, so getting great midbass out of your door speakers is very important...

The most important part is getting it to stick. The first layer on clean bare metal is the most important. If the factory deadening looks substantial, I'd leave it, if you have extra deadener and you think it will stick, you can double layer it.

I'd do a bandpass filter on the 6x8's in the doors, the higher frequencies coming from them would pull down/confuse your soundstage. I'd also sound deaden the front doors, seal as many openings as you can, try to get good midbass down to at least 60 Hz.

Yes Yes No, you can add blocks of wood or something to take up space inside the box as well. You can also face the subwoofer backwards, meaning basket and motor on the outside to increase the volume inside the box. As long as the subwoofer has a vented pole piece there will be no difference in...

That's strange that it would happen mid song without touching the volume. Does it happen mid song if you're listening to a CD? No Bluetooth or radio. Ground sounds fine, as long as it's solid, tight, no loose connection. Maybe leave the stereo on and see if you can replicate the problem by...

Audio control had seminars about this when factory heads started incorporating all kinds of controls and getting a new head unit quit making sense. What they found at the time was that most factory heads would manipulate the lower frequencies with the volume, and amplifying that signal would...

So, are you adding an extra subwoofer. Different brand, size, box size with a different alignment. Not all frequencies are going to be reproduced at the same time with the same intensity. This will cause destructive interference. You're going to have a system that sounds really bad with some...

Most likely your ground. I've seen that happen, the sub looks like it's playing a 5 Hz note. If one piece of equipment doesn't have a good ground this can happen. Check all your grounds, even the head unit. Try to keep the grounds as short as possible, scrape off more paint than you think you...

I'm a big fan of Parts Express, they're a local company for me. All my in wall and in ceiling speakers are Dayton. I looked at the Dayton DSP but I didn't see high level inputs. I looked again, it does have them. About the same price, I'll have to buy the remote, I bet there are nonlinearities...

I was going to use a Kicker amp that had the processing, but the more I read the more I want something more substantial. I think I'll go with a Hifonics line level converter for 50 bucks and a Timpano 4 channel DSP. I can't seem to find a 5 or 6 channel DSP that does high level inputs so I'll...
