subs canceling each other out?

[brooklynjoy2008 10+ year member]

If I fire 3 10s front and 2 back with ports back will they cancel each other out? Its in the trunk of a 2000 alero and I was just wondering if this was practical or if they would cancel each other out?

Not real sure what you are trying to accomplish with that type of setup but I dnt think u will have a canceling issue you may run into some other issues though. Why such a weird box sometimes more does not always mean better..

it probably wouldnt if the rear subs where inverted or had reversed polarities. but personally, I would spend the extra money and just 2 twelves or 2 tens that really get down.

I will be competing and i can use 3 12s which would give me 339 cone area and a 60 amp fuse but with 5 10s i have 390 cone and still my 60 amp fuse. Am i right in thinking i will have better results like this more cone area should be louder right? I will be using re *** 10d4 subs on around 3000 rms this will be my first build so im not real sure about some things so any help would be appreciated

my max dimensions are 38*15*25 i will need 6cf so that leaves 2+ cf for speakers and such

you won;t fit that box through the opening, my grand am wouldn't fit one that big.

I am building the box in trunk

No i dont have subs or amp yet i want to figure out what i am gonna run first

id do two upper series 12's if you want to fit the most in your trunk...4 of the right 8's would be killer also but not re8's

So is cone area not important cause i was gonna go with 3 12s but 5 10s has more cone area
