  3. I need help with the positioning of my subs

    This really has me confused and makes no sense. As soon as a wave is created, it immediately starts losing energy in the form of sympathetic vibration of body panels and friction of air molecules. It doesn't mature necessarily, but depreciates due to loss of energy. The only "maturing" a wave does is die as soon as it's created. People mistake the loading and allowance of expansion of the wave with maturing.

    If you face the subs backwards, you will be increasing the effective length of the port which will cause the enclosure to "seem" to play lower causing more vibration and seemingly play louder. Opening your trunk with the subs facing backwards wouldn't make anything louder because you'd have no return and nothing to load off of.

    Tuning lower and facing subs into the cab would give you the same results, only louder.

    okay, this is what i needed. thanks. i understand all that. it seems louder as of more vibrations etc. which i understand. i really wanna face them inwards anyways. dont want them stolen or trashed.

    i ment when im out of the car and i open the trunk facing outwards the subs would be rele loud.

    Before when i had 350 watts rms per speaker, facing them inwards kinda sucked but at 1000 per speaker will that even matter then? also, by facing them inwards will it be louder out of the car as compared to inwards?

    basically

    i noticed this when i had 350 rms per speaker:

    inwards:(cab) louder in cab :(out of car) not all that loud outside just a little rattling

    outwards:(cab) less loud in cab : (out of car) ??? idk how loud it is outside compared to facing outwards.

    Face em inwards...and seal off the trunk. Should be louder. Win win situation. Unlesss.....seats fold down?

    thanx bro i like this idea. im gunna face them inwards, but i dont need to seal off the trunk because you cant get to the speakers or even get them out.

    but i was wondering what would change sound wise in the car and out of the car, by facing them inwards?

    and how did you do your decibel rating in your profile?

    okay, so I have 2 15 inch Kicker L7s in a vented box that barely fit into the trunk of my 1999 ford contour SE.

    now... my problem is, i had them and still want to face them backwards out of the trunk. because it should be louder in the car and out of the car. because of the matured sound wave coming back into the car and if i open the trunk it will be loud as a bitch.

    If i face them inwards, if someone were to break open the trunk there is no way you can steal or break the subs.

    i am powering these subs with 2 alpine PDX 1000w RMS amps and I'm using all 0 gauge wire and i have an optima yellow cap battery.

    would my sound be inhibited by facing the subs inward towards my car? because i dont want my 2000 dollar system harmed or stolen.

    hey guys, I'm setting up a brand new system in my car and i need some new wiring.

    i need approx.

    - 18 ft of wire for my power and ground

    - and 8 ft for the big 3 upgrade.

    so 26 feet, everywhere i look, I'm spending like 100 dollars on the wire alone and i want a better deal.

    * i am also looking for a cheap fuse and a fuse holder and 2 battery terminals*

    OH, and i almost forgot, i am supposed to tell you guys that marquettefan247 sent me

    - thanks to all of you for you replies and comments
