Where to put my subs in car? ** PICS **

[Bobby322 10+ year member]

First off (if it matters) i've got 2 of these http://dls.se/en/car/prod.html?produkt=en_138 in a custom ported box....

Basically want it as loud as possible //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Just got my box in today, and I should have this all and ready soon. Right now ive just got a HU and some 6x9s installed.

So, I can either put the subs in the back seat (back seat folds down)

or

I can put it in the trunk.

My car is a '73 Plymouth Duster. The back seat folds down, and then there is a little space behind the back seat, then another part folds down into the trunk. So If I open it all up, its pretty much a straight shot to the trunk. My 6x9s are up top of the back seat area.

EDIT - This is my daily driver, and I dont have tinted windows (maybe for christmas) so the subs are pretty exposed.

Anyways, maybe these pics will help:

I would go for the first option

just make sure you secure the box somehow so you don't get nailed by the box if somebody rear-ends you.

if you want it as loud as possible, face it into the car like the first one and seal off the edges of the box from the trunk, thats what im doing and thats all ive heard about having the loudest subs in a trunk, just my .02 cents

1st one.

wu501 - First option, your mean back seat? And good thinking w/ the secure box.

Also, I dont have tinted windows, the the subs will be pretty exposed.

But I guess if somebody is going to steal me, i guess it wont matter if it is in the trunk anyways?

Well it will matter because if your parked no one will know if you have subs if the are in the trunk.

Get tinted windows //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

oh okay so back seat option. What do you mean by sealing it off from the trunk? There is a little door thing that folds up (in pic) from the trunk.

yeah true. What I mean is that, if somebody knows I have subs, then having them in the trunk wont stop them. The old screwdriver + hammer on my trunk lock will work with ease.

The way you have your ports positioned makes things pretty basic, either option will work well, and be very similar.

True, that won't matter.

Get an alarm as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Found that out the hard way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Seems like the back seat option would be best, only thing I dont like is it being so exposed.

Definately forward firing but I would have port on drivers side.

Just my opinion.
