hey smd members, so im a bit of a newb here on the forums but i was wondering if it will benifit to spray foam/ seal my trunk off if my subs are facing up in the trunk, and port is firing towards the trunk... also its an rx-8 so the back seats dont fold down, just the space in between them... any advice would be awesome!

Hey so i finally made the upgrade on my subs since i put the car away for winter. Im upgrading to 5 10" D4 re SEX sub woofers, and i am going to be running 2500 watts, my current amp (Alpine mrp-m2000) as well as a alpine mrp-m500... i just ordered the subs, so hopefully i will get them this weekend and finish the install. i have already built the box, just need to cut the baffle boards holes as i am going to carpet the box. I took a lot of advice from my other box builds and have made same MAJOR improvements. I will be purchasing a battery, but that will happen more near Christmas time. the box is tuned at 34.5 hz, and its 6.26 cubes. with a square port.purt is trunk firing and plexi is on the side facing my interior
-
and yeah i would like to see a video of them.
-
yep they go hard for the price... and at least now when i get new woofers i have a half decent amp to power them with.
-
i fixed the electrical issue, my power wire was loose from the battery, so it was only getting partial power. cap is steady at 12 -12.5 volts.
-
i used WAYYYYY less screws to put things into proportion... i had one every 1/2 inch on the old one and this one was one every 2-3 inches... its just over 4.1 cubes but with the subs it comes out to just above four.as far as bracing, i will keep that in mind for my next one, once again im only 18 and the only way im going to learn is from experience, Ive never worked in a car audio shop or anything.... mind you its not like half of them even know what they are talking about.
-
built a new box, figured out my electrical issues as well... just a loose connection at the battery, its going strong now. lemme know your opinions on the new box. tuned @ 38 hz
yes construction grade may be a little excessive, but better safe than sorry. -
no leaks siliconed them as i put them in and hole where hard to ge tthe wires through to begin with (tight)
-
i did pre drill.. but yeah next box i will use less screws... best way of learning is from experience and what others say about it.
-
IH8punkrock... the video is before i took the box out and painted it, i sound deadened my trunk... forgot to put pics up but will soon.
-
cap is only temporary till i get my new alternator and new battery/batteries. and they sound good... and i only used so many screws because i had tried to make a box but it fell apart so i put more screws in rather have to many than too few, especially since its in such a small place where i would have little access to do box repair. plus im only 18 and its the second box I've ever built.

hey Steve, I'm a new member on SMD. Just got a quick question, what kind of flip out(single din) touch screen would you recommend, I cant fit a double in my car so a single's the best i can do. Any advice would be appreciated! Also what 2000 watt amp would you recommend. I'm running two pioneer champion series pro 12's off a kicker zx1000.1 and i know they want more power. thanks!

Sealing trunk off
in SPL - SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL
Posted · Edited by genyk789
The only reason I thought it might increase sound is because it would be making the trunk pretty much a second box
