would this cause the subs to cancel each other out

In the picture there are 2 12 subwoofers in triangular boxes with the part housing the face of the subwoofer the hypotenuse angled toward the top of the trunk. Would this create alot of cancellation and other unwanted sound effects.

most likely...just rear fire the two subs ...for the best sound...that way they can load off back of the car....

alright thank **** physics haha I wanted to mount the amplifiers between them. Thought it would look kinda cool and make adjusting them easy.

Whether or not that causes any cancellation is going to depend on how far apart they are... wavelengths at sub-bass frqs. really are too long to cause problems for setups like that (in most trunks).

But, as L_CRX pointed out, rear firing in a trunk setup is going to give you more output, which is pretty much always a good thing.

you could put the subs firing to the rear and have them in different boxes and have a amp rack in the middle. Instead of firing them at each other.

maybe like that ...rear fire both subs...I was thinking of subs facing each other...That should work and then mount amp between them

see if he rear fires both subs he could have a amp rack attached to the side of each sub box.

Yea I've been waiting to get into my buddies garage because he's got alot more tools then I got here so I've been just trying to visualize the boxes and set up.

There is always cancellation.

As said above, firing two subs at each other should not cause any excessive cancellation, assuming the subs are within a foot or two of each other (again due to wavelengths as said above).

well thats the problem because the subs would be about 3 feet from each other
