how big is ur box and what kind of sub is it?

are the subs touching the back of the seat?... if too close all the sound is being absorbed by the seat back. is the back of the seat open (springs and cusion)? upholster the seat back to eliminate the sponge effect of the open seat back.

the box is (out side) 24X15x7x4 and yes they touch the back of the seat.

you want to make/buy a thinner box to allow for some space between the front of the subs and the seat... can you move your seat up just one notch?

do you think i should just go with 10's because the box is about as small as i can make it."with out hitting the magnet aganst the back of the box"or are the mouting depths about the same with a ten.

depending on your budget, 10's would work, or you could do something with maybe four to eight 8" subs. just make sure your current amp can handle the ohm load presenred by the multiple 8's - or buy a new amp(s) - that is what i meant by "depending on your budget".

Have you tried stuffing your box with poly-fill. It might make somewhat of a difference.

 

[imral3 10+ year member]

well then go with the 10's and like phatillusion said, you will probably need some polyfill because of the small box size.
