[QUOTE="Manchesteruntd, post: 8229550, member: 659810"] I Am am brand new to this site, but not new to the car audio world. Recently, I have been stumped by one of my boxes and am looking to build a new one. The box is for a smart car. I built a box for a Rockford Fosgate 8inch P2D4 and is powered by a Rockford Fosgate R500XD (image attached; the non-sketch up picture) and although the box itself turned out great, it did not perform. the enclosure itself is to speck which is why I am a bit confused. It is an up firing seal enclosure. the problem with the design is that the bass is close to inaudible when seated in the driver or passenger seat, yet, sounds great if your head if close to the windshield. Due to the side and shape of the car, the bass does not envelop the cabin. So! I am designing a new enclosure to solve the problem! I am up for suggestions! I have designed three enclosures on Sketch Up. Please tell me which one would be best. Each enclosure is different; from port locations, to firing position (one is down firing).
