Insight on enclosure build please


Recommended Posts

Vehicle:

2007 Subaru Impreza sedan

Substage Equipment:

15 inch Rockford T2 ( Dual 4 for what it's worth )

Rockford T1000-1bdcp

Here is where I would like to get everyones opinion about my " issue " with my car. My problem is that loading an enclosure will be tricky because my trunk lid opening is low and narrow; which leaves me with no other option then to build in the trunk. Next is I can't decide for the life of me how big I want it and where I want the port to fire. I'm leaning towards porting through the armrest in my backseat but would consider porting through the rear deck. I would like to tune it around 30hz or so.

How do you guys think I should build it, where should I fire the port, etc.

i had the same problem with my trunk. i dont like firing port towards the cabin, because it seems to me that low end response isnt as good. i tried sub up, port back and it sounded great. idk how small an impreza trunk is, but with my car, i did 32w x 14.5h x 24d with a port that was 13h x 4w and 19 inches long, tuned to 35. left me with about 4 cubes after port displacement. crystal clear and hit lower than a mothafucka

Dude, that sounds almost ideal for my car. You wouldn't happen to have the specs & cut sheet would you?

That would be great, thanks. I would've ended up figuring it out myself, but getting insight from others especially from someone who was in a similar situation helps a lot. Thanks again! I will be sure to send pics of everything once it is done; still need to get my electrical on lock as well as complete my sound deadening. I've taken a couple days off of work so I could get all this done.

No problem, mine is already removed :P

That will be my approach since I'll most likely be building in the trunk.
