New Idea

[CrazyKenKid 10+ year member]

So I was sitting here thinking of how I can make my car louder! then it hit me! toss out my back seat and get another NS 15inch and more power and fire them up or forward! lol!! I was just looking over my last install pics and I noticed without the rear seat I have so much more space. plus my car already has 320,000km (198,000 miles) so what can I lose! lol!!

I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY MEASUREMENTS YET, this is just what I was thinking about. my car is a 95 grand am

my current setup can be found here

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/30401-saz-2000-installed/

I now have a new jvc avx77 and aluminum bus bars on my batteries so everything looks a little more cleaner!

anyways back to my idea! if I pull out the seat make a 6cubic box either forward firing or up firing. then put my batteries and amps in the trunk!!

now I know I need to upgrade my battery bank to say 3- d3100 and I need to get another saz2000 (so 2saz2000 in total strapped) is there anything i have left out?

What is best up or forward firing 2 subs (2-15inch NS d2) what are the advantages and or disadvantages that you can think of in a setup like this.

now let's talk port idea's. Either round or square and how big would they have to be?

my box should be around 6cubic after displacement and bracing and port. also should I be using 3/4 mdf or 1/2 birch for this build. I have heard that birch is just as tough as mdf and sounds just as good the only negative is the cost plus it also doesn't weigh as much as mdf does.

now all IDEA's are welcome yes I know this is a VERY vague idea and not even 100% thought through yet but you got to start somewhere right? lol!!

so any and all help will be hot! ALSO this build will not happen till about April ish. jsut b/c right now I am in school and hold down a part time job so I don't have too much time for anything other than those 2 things.

let me know your idea's and I will get some sizes tomorrow night!

thanks in advances

maybe even two C&D batteries those are those HUGE 100lb monsters with a massive amout of reserve!! plus they are prety cheap used b/c nobody likes a 100lb battery!!! i wonder if i can get away with jsut 2 of those CD batteries? any idea's?

and correct me if i am wrong but for me to have a WALL it would have to be higher up then my seat, window level? and if i go the wall route wouldn't i be in a completely new class at a spl show? and if i keep the box under the seat level (window level) i would fall in the normal class wouldn't i?

a new idea jsut came to me while i was at work!! here is a rough box idea take a look!

what do you guys think of that idea? any suggestions

what do you guys think about the port, as it is being fired UP? does the port firing direction mean much in the way of spl?

and thanks again for any and all input so far!

yes.... i read on here the further the port from th mic the better but you going to have to play wit it and see what works

 

[CrazyKenKid 10+ year member]

see but there is my debate, once i put the port firing up and it sounds like crap i have to rip it all out again and start over almost. i guess i want to have a plan rather then just getting lucky lol!!

i know how you feel about not really wanting to try diff positions but in order to get loud you gotta do alot of trial and error.

darn it! i hate when i have to do trail and errer b/c 9times out of 10 i do it the wrong way lol. maybe i shoudl start a poll and see what ppl think about the port direction!

but if worst comes to worse i will jsut shoot the port out the same way the subs are firing i guess i can't fail with that it has worked in the pasted!
