Trapped Bass

[gogo4]

First My Setup:

In a 99' Cadillac De'Ville -

1x - Rockford Fosgate 1 farad cap

2X - Hifonix 1000 Brutus amp's (1 for each sub)

1X - Audiobhanh 400 (forgot model)

2X - 12' T1 Rockford Fosgate Subs

Pioneer Avic N1 Deck

All Round Polk Momo's 6x9's and 6.5's

3.5 cf` ported box facing trunk

Now this is my question:

I Have an armrest where i taken out the lether so when it flops down i get about 6x4' Hole for the spl... (helps actually a little)

(My trunk is super sealed and dynomated)

Today i was working on something and took off the backseat turned up a song and HOLY SHIT!!!

MY hairs tickled my nose itches and i can't breathe right. I think i wouldnt be able to light a match in my car its just stupid spl and bass all around.... about 3x louder then w/seat on.

Now how can i get this effect with my seat back on?

What would happen if i turned the box around and put it facing seat instead of trunk?

I need this sub's to hit to their max and i cna't help to think what potential they really have but i can't use it know what i mean =(

take ur rear speakers out, so there will be an air flow from the trunk to the cabin

been there, done that, no difference really. im thinking of doing what he said cutting a small hole behind the real armrest..theres a thin sheet of metal there.

but yes it works
