Looking for a skilled box builder who can build me a sealed SQ and low bass oriented box for my SSA GCON Subwoofer 15 inch subwoofer. I live in longwood, Florida.
SSA says 2.25 to 2.5 cubes after every displacement. List the max dimensions you want to give us and tell us where its going to be in the car and what direction you plan on firing it. When it comes to sealed boxes, the sub loading is more important than the box design since there's not much engineering or tuning when it comes to sealed boxes.Looking for a skilled box builder who can build me a sealed SQ and low bass oriented box for my SSA GCON Subwoofer 15 inch subwoofer.

to get maximum sound quality, the sub would need to be pretty close to the trunk lid.Well I'm going to do 3 cu feet. I'm going to mount the sub facing the lift gate. The box can be a maximum of 16 inches tall and 40 inches wide. I dont care about the depth as I have plenty of trunk space. The back needs to be angled at 70 degrees.
Try to understand the picture again, If you dont have a FULL SEALED WALL, its not gonna turn out well just facing it towards you all the issues I listed happens Please go over what i explained again.... Or better yet, read this articleWhere did you find these pictures. Anyways, I plan on folding down my back drivers side seat in my Jeep and having my woofer face my me instead of the trunk. For me its too inconvenient to have the box right next to my trunk. I have much more space if it is flush to my seat.
Ive heard several boxes firing forward this way and even installed a couple. I can't hear a difference in sealing up the gaps around the enclosure. IMO as long as its 90% it doesnt make a difference.Try to understand the picture again, If you dont have a FULL SEALED WALL, its not gonna turn out well just facing it towards you all the issues I listed happens Please go over what i explained again....

Aiming your subwoofer box
RIGHT
Box is fully sealed off from the trunk
WRONG
Box is not fully sealed off from the rear trunk. Still has gaps left for the sound to travel rearwards to the trunk, I'm betting you'll have even more empty areas than this.
I couldnt find any pictures of worse installs with a lot less than 90% coverage, basically this is common knowledge to anyone that does car auido to not have sound leaking to the back of the trunk when facing forward but the OP doesnt seem like he gets what we are talking about.Ive heard several boxes firing forward this way and even installed a couple.

Dammit was gonna reference this thread but the pics arent there anymore.

Yea dont get me wrong my forward fire installs are sealed. I build the box wide and tall enough to do the job without additional panels. I just personally cant hear the difference when they arent 100% sealed. Flipping a 3 cube prefab dual 12 box forward would surely sound like shiit. There is a reason we point subs backwards.I couldnt find any pictures of worse installs with a lot less than 90% coverage, basically this is common knowledge to anyone that does car auido to not have sound leaking to the back of the trunk when facing forward but the OP doesnt seem like he gets what we are talking about.
