Is wood a sufficient bass wave barrier? Cancellation issues.

[AVSTANG02]

Since turning my subs forward I have been reading many good articles about bass waves and cancellation.

At the moment I understand that the bass waves bounce off the front of the car travel back into the trunk bounce off the back of the trunk and then back into the cabin and those waves that have bounced off the back of the trunk cause cancellation.

I'd like to stop any cancellation with a beauty board/false wall attached to the front of my box. Closing the front of the box and cones off from the rest of the trunk.

Will the wood block the bass waves from traveling into the trunk behind the woofer box?

Hope this made sense... And correct me if i dont seem to understand the issue of cancellation...

Yeah make a baffle and force load the box to the back of your rear seat.. it will eliminate the cancellation in the trunk

depending on how clean you can do it.......... get the wood baffle as close as possible to the edge of the outlying trunk around the box and fill in the gap with "great stuff" (home depot, 4-5 bucks a bottle). gets messy, wear gloves and dont let it touch anything you dont want ruined....it will permanently attach to whatever it touches after it dries......just use it to fill that gap and that will SEAL that box off, and thats the eaisest and cheaper way to seal off that baffle.
