new to forum, couple Q's

[95lincdog]

whats up yall. new to site, actually new to having subs/amp too, read a couple threads, hope to learn a lot. I have 2 12" kicker cvr subs, a cheap off brand amp, bass inferno 1000w. a cheap, old head unit, blaupunkt. it hits ok.

first Q: My car is a 95 Lincoln town car. My system hits really good on the inside of the car and if I pop the trunk while playing music. but once I close the trunk, you cant really hear too much bass, only a small rattle from the quarter panels and trunk. I've talked to people that previously had the same car, and they said they had the same problem and the trunks were "almost sound proof". finally, my question is, is there a way to un-sound proof the trunk? I want to be able to hear the bass outside of the car too.

second Q: I have my subs facing up towards the trunk lid, is there a better position to have the speakers facing?

thanks, if theres anything else u guys would like to give me advice on i'd appreciate the tips. thanks again

take out the rear deck speakers. that will let the bass vent into the cabin better

put your box up against the back seat, and aim the subs toward your rear bumper (see pic below)

I didn't take out the rear deck speakers, but I cut the leather and pad behind the rear seat arm rest. theres just sheet metal behind that with a hole about 2"x3". I plan on cutting the sheet metal out (just where the arm rest is). I flipped the speakers down like u said, sounds WAY better. thanks.

With the subs rear firing they can load better...by removing the armrest metal so the sound can vent into the cabin will help as well
