[QUOTE="1995Tercel, post: 8660160, member: 643428"] Hello, I listen to bass music, all the way to country, classical, solo instruments, acapella... So I want clear (not loud) textured, effortless bass response, from 23hz up. I have seen graphs of flat bass response (curve is literally a horizontal line from tuning freq up to 150hz) but I don't know if I can achieve this in my space restrictions, nor were the box designs made public. I am new to car audio, and Ive been reading a lot about theory, terminology, and basic anecdotes from people about their setups. What I am struggling to find is information about the practical application of the science of design and tuning a box, picking a specific sub, how to adjust for the volume and dimentions of vehicle cabin, location, and style of enclosure mounting... I have a 2000 honda insight, there is no trunk. The enclosure must be completely hidden. There is a space underneath the parcel shelf, and behind the battery pack, the dimentions are... [COLOR=#000000]Width- [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]Left to right [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]21.5in[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]x [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Height- top to bottom 10in[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]x[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Depth- front to back 14in[/COLOR] There is a small amount of leeway to squeeze the enclosure in, say an inch all around, if i have to, and 5 more inches available top to bottom if I remove the spare tire. Are there some complicated box designs, say with tube ports I can snake around and keep hidden, or special baffles, or compartments, that will produce the freq response I want in the space I have? I have not chosen any equipment yet. Im sorry if this is a bothersome question to answer, but I just dont know enough about the topic to know if I am wasting my time trying to learn, if what Im asking for is impossible. Thank you.
