[QUOTE="joeldirt, post: 764866, member: 558163"] The smaller the vehicle, the greater the gain. bottom line. putting in that wall will allow you to make your car apear to the subs that the car is even smaller in thus giving you larger rumbling bass up front. ( I am assuming you are building a wall with the subs and enclosure in the trunk facing through the wall sealed to the wall so that the sound waves go through the cones of the subs into your cabin. Having holes cut to accomodate the subs and ports) Is this right? One of the quickest way to ruin the illusion of up front bass is to have the rear of your vehicle rattling. It doesn't take your brain long to figure out that the subwoofer is in the same place as the rattling body panels. Take care of these noisy panels by using a combination of sound deadening sheets (Dynamat or similar), expanding foams and other sound deadening materials. Then using a test tone CD sweep through the bass range and see if certain frequencies cause other panels to vibrate. Sound deaden these areas and repeat until your rattles are taken care of. Then sit back and enjoy your new car audio system. Just make sure you leave enough juice to start the car. (compliments of car audio help) there was an article about this a few months back suggesting a wall is the ultimate idea if you are willing to take the time to do it right) you WILL gain signifigant difference, and the sound dampening is important too [/QUOTE]
