You might look into subs that are designed and sold for outdoor patio's and barbeque outings to see how they design their speaker enclosures. I've seen something like that at a big box home improvement store. I think a down firing design pro-rabbit suggests is what I saw at the store and it...

Whatever you do don't remove the vapor barrier off the back of the rear seat facing the trunk like I did with my Nissan. Didn't make my subs sound louder, but I did get sinus headaches from mine and others exhaust driving in stop and go city traffic. Probably got some carbon monoxide as well...

Study the Japan earthquake tsunami's exponentially compounded wave dispersion pattern to tell you it won't matter which direction you point your subs. Low (large wave) frequencies are non-directional and need LOTS of air (tsunami LOTS of water) to create large waves from the point of source...

I tried that route using iTune's EQ, (I know, not the best stuff) to re-record some Stan Kenton big band tunes that were recorded live in Vegas at the Tropical with the new Hi Fi recording technology that first came out back in the '50's. Lot of ambient mid range murkiness and noise and holes in...

No, they play much quieter as if deliberately recorded in a tiny vacuum chamber. The sound is small if you know what I mean by comparison to modern digitally recorded music like Propellerhead's "Decks,Drums,and Rock and Roll", and the compilation CD "Mysterious Voyages-A Tribute To Weather...

Would like to thank in advance all who'll respond on my somewhat odd proposal to solve or alleviate a long standing issue I've had with the harsh punch portion in the kick bass frequency on certain '80's style music (i.e. Hall and Oates "Maneater", "Method of Love") played on my 6x8 Polks...

Propellerhead's-"Her Majesty's Secret Service". About 5 minutes in there's a very low sonic frequency that I've not been able to get my home theater system with band pass sub to play much else any other system for that matter. But for some reason my 2 very cheap Clarion 10" 2 ohm subs from...

Yes, I agree. Where and how the components are installed will make the most expensive high quality speaker sound like crap as well. There's also something I forgot to consider and that's the fact that he's in a truck cab. I'm not even sure he needs a sub for the type of music he'll be playing...

The OP posted this... "With the kind of music I listen to in mind, here is what I think I am going to go with. Please give me your thoughts." I must have misunderstood what he was asking. It sounds like he needs specific advice other than an alternative component driver as a solution. But I'm...

New to car audio.com and discussions in general on this subject. I can't believe with all the knowledge of this site no one can answer the OP's question. I listen to wide range of music on my old '92 Nissan Sentra setup including Propellerheads to some bluegrass, favorites include Pike County...
