So I'm an idiot and need help...

[tykempster 10+ year member]

Thanks for the help guys. It's a 99 Cavalier. Only the best for college //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Anything else and I would be angry when it's gotten dinged...to be honest though, it's been a great car reliability wise, I've put 70,000 on it in a couple years, which makes well over 200k, for the $1000 I got it for, it's allowed me to buy plenty of toys!

Is 15" height gonna be strong enough for me to mount the sub? The cutout was just under 14" that fit the speaker nicely on the box I just made.

 

[NissanKicker 10+ year member]

Yep... It'll be just fine...

... And due to you having a sqaure, it'll like good.

You could always add .25" ( If you perfer )

How far away from the seat would I need this thing to be to have the port with plenty of breathing room? Or could I put the port to the side?

 

[NissanKicker 10+ year member]

I would put everything forward.

... But if you wanted a port on the side:

I would put the sub facing the seat & port on the back-side of the box... ( Port on the passenger side )

 

[NissanKicker 10+ year member]

Ugh.... Said who? " you? "

... HAHAHAHA @ that.

I personally know what that EXACT setup sounds like PERSONALLY( Sub facing the cabin - Port on the side )

... And there's not much difference between a 99cav & a 95civic ... Or better yet... my 99nissan sentra.

Soooo ... ANYWAY!

( Now don't get me wrong: there's nothing like everything going the same direction... But there's nothing AT ALL wrong with this way. )

... I did (3) 12" CVRs like this in a 2005 Monte Carlo... and you get chest pains... ( on a ZX1000.1 @ 2.67ohms )

I've had a setup w/ every direct you can put a port and sub... Soo - can't really miss me when it comes to that...

 

[tykempster 10+ year member]

Any way you could get me a sketch-up of the box with a port not in the front, including all dimensions of the box and port?

I would like the port not in the front so I could slide the box as far forward as possible and still have a bit of space in the trunk for stuff.

lulz i had this problem the first box i made, i just took the trunk gasket off, bent the **** out of the lip holding the gasket on sanded down all the corners of the box lol, eventually i made it fit

 

[NissanKicker 10+ year member]

That works also... But I don't think he wants to bend anything.. LOL!

( So you want sub facing the seat... Port out the side? )

 

[tykempster 10+ year member]

I would prefer that, I will have several inches to the side that would have plenty of ventilation, and facing the sub forward would give me a bit of space in the rear of the trunk plus better access to the wheel well area.

 

[tykempster 10+ year member]

Bump in case you didn't see it.

 

[NissanKicker 10+ year member]

ok... I'll pm you with everything when I make it home.

 

[tykempster 10+ year member]

Sounds good, thanks a ton!

did you make a wedge box? and are the sub chambers seperate, and you should stick with a sealed box since its in a trunk. and ported for like suv's, vans and such reason ports use all the open air space and hits massive. so think like this sealed enclosed space,ported open
