[lama04 10+ year member]

I intend to put two 1508's S4 in the wifes 09 TSX (Trunk). I did a little research and found out the some reccomend a loading wall for reliabilty and maybe a little gain.

My question is a loading wall absolutly neccessary for this type of application. they will be powered by zx1000.1

Which way are you facing them?

I wouldnt think so unless ur runnin a ton of power to them.

facing towards the rear push all the way back so she can still have a little storage space.

they will be getting about 1kw for the pair

They do better with the loading wall. The 10's like one also.

They handle the power much better also, and you wont have to worry about your wife getting knob happy.

ok, my only problem now is how i'm going to include in my box design. I wonder if its ok to build two sepereat walls. one on far left & right W/ Areo port in the middle. Both subs and port will be firing towards the rear and I would preferably rather not block any port flow given the wall will be about 4 inces away from the front baffle.

Any suggestions on wall or port placement?

i would do 6-8"

Do the subs as a down fire.

cool, I'll take that into account when i build the enclosure

Do the subs as a down fire.

I thought of that but didn't want risk any loss of output into the cabin. I had figured rear firing was a safe bet. But in anycase I might actually give it a shot if not satisfied with rear fire. and in the event i do down fire what is usually the best port placment?

Hmm are loading walls used in SPL or daily applications? Benefits?
