[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8662055, member: 676005"] Thanks hispls! Currently, I have dacron , heaps of it around the baffle board and then I have stapled the black automotive carpet over it. I have 1 metre White LED strip light just under the baffle so I switched it on to see if there was any sign of light glowing when the trunk lid is closed. So far its all good. I have used a lot of dacron around the baffle and that's the reason it creates a rounded bulging look from the outside. :rolleyes: I used 5mm mdf on the sides behind the seats to shape the wood, apply dacron and cover with black carpet so to create a sealed area in the trunk to the best of my ability. So far the bass is..enormous!! It probably peaks at 50Hz but yesterday I bought an SPL hand held meter so I will give it a try this weekend to see where it stands. I cannot go back to boxed subwoofers as I love the smooth roll off that blends in well with the front stage. We do have those foam hoses here. They are more for sealing air conditioning pipes. I have used them before in my previous Subaru Imprezza with the same infinite baffle set up. I will see how it works out then if its not working then will definitely consider those. Thanks again for your advice, mate! [/QUOTE]
