[QUOTE="Kybasshead75, post: 8719095, member: 681033"] I just drilled a hole and installed a metal bar to prop up the trunk instead of using the hydraulics or torsion bars, problem solved. Placing the subwoofer furthest away from the listening position into an area that it can load onto will concentrate an accelerate the air being displaced by the subwoofer much more efficiently than the subwoofer playing in the middle of the listening area a favorite trick for figuring out where your speakers go in the house or car is to get a small sub and have someone move it around until it sounds best to you while you sit in the listening chair. I have found through experimentation that The Sweet spot is always where a subwoofer directs its energy the most efficiently. If you said it in the middle of a room the energy dissipates in all directions as a circular wave and its energy will not be concentrated into the listening area whereas a subwoofer aimed perfectly and in the right spot will immediately sound much better. Placing the subwoofer in the rear of the vehicle allows the wave to move in one direction forward eliminating the dissipation of the energy into all directions but rather concentrating it into the one direction forward into the seats. A great example of this is when people move a single port from The middle of a surface like the back glass to the passenger side which is loudest to the driver because it loads the corner and the corner then bounces the energy into the drivers area then when you move the port to the driver's side it becomes louder to the passenger again because you're concentrating the airflow and wave energy of the subwoofer into a certain direction. While various subwoofer locations will work and you will have base after some experimentation you will find The Sweet spot is always furthest away from The Listener and usually loading onto a surface that bounces the sound waves in the direction of the listening seat.
