  13. My Friend Wants To Put Two 15" L7's In His Backseat

    It would probably be a similar senario to if you put a forward facing box in a trunk without sealing it, or like when I just for kicks and giggles took my l7 in the minivan and set it in the middle seat and had it right between the front seats like a wall. I thought it would hit, but realistically, all I heard was port noise. how would you be facing it?

    Facing up, both port and subs.

    He drives a BMW 530i series and has horrible trunk space. So this what he is doing. He's buying the new Hifonics BXI 2008 amplifier with two L7 15s in a 5.8 ft cubic box. I built the box myself and its a pretty good box (a little undersized but it still beats) and we put the box in his back seats and it literally takes up all the back. So I am wondering if this is going to be loud right behind his head?

  18. Curious: Is It Bad If You Use Particle Board For Your Box?

    the particle board will flake away if you're screwing into it. If you add a third baffle, get a long enough screw to go through the particle board and into the original layer of MDF. Or just avoid screws all together and use glue or fiberglass.

    If it were me, i'd probably bolt the subs down instead of using drywall screws....

    you'll be fine, just don't use 3/4" screws. use 1.25 - 1.5"

    Why would bolting the subs down be better?

    Well the main reason why I asked is because I am not building a box out of particle board, I just added on a second baffle to my box and the baffle I added on is made out of particle board. Instead of buying a big ass sheet of 3/4 MDF today that was like $23, I just decided to spend $6 on the particle board for my second baffle. I am just worried once I crank it up the subs will pound the hell out of it and will rip the screws right through since its such a soft wood. For a second baffle will it be fine? The rest of the box is MDF.
