Where Does The Sub Actually Go?

It's about 2", and I don't have enough scraps for 2 MDF rings, so I'll try inverted. Are you against inverted?

not in your case since you didn't design the enclosure with the subwoofer specifications in mind, you don't know how its going to sound in ether position. so go for it.

Oh, and thanks whoever gave me some negative feedback. I take this forum's advice, try to build an enclosure, screw up, and get mad. Then I get negative feedback for "cursing", which isn't even cursing anyways, it's just a bunch of *'s. I made a whole other thread, and people said this enclosure was ok for my sub, and then I build it and it doesn't fit. I thought I did plan, my mistake was I took people's advice who didn't know what the hell they were talking about.

i would see if you could find a small piece of scrap wood and make a spacer for the sub and then do inverted. try both and see which one sounds better. my sub doesnt have enough clearence from the back of the sub to the box either. but it sounds better that way then inverted. i did make a spacer to help a lil bit tho but the box isnt sealed and has air leaks. but it was just a set up to get me buy till i built a box and the day i was gonna build my box i decided to put my car up for sale and now im chaning my mind on subs. so sometimes plans get fuked up. no biggie.

A subwoofer doesn't know physics, and it doesn't know where the air is either. It really does not matter, but try for three inches from the rear of the speaker.

and thats why is up to the enclosure designer to put the sub in a properly designed enclosure! to keep that dumb speaker from sounding like crap or getting destroyed.

lol.

I agree wholeheartedly.
