EVAlonSo Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 The old school installers have always told me when mounting a speaker in an enclosure, you want to cut away the material behind it so the speaker has full contact to a flat surface for a better seal. For example in my truck: Ive also heard the opposite argument, which is a speaker against the fabric would give it a better seal. Whats everyones take on this? (personally i feel both are just fine and minor minor details.)

DRauck Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Mine have always been cut away, but I'm not sure if not cutting it away would make a difference. Maybe fecupe has/will test this and check the results 2011 Honda CR-Z Mugen 12" Kicker SoloX Subwoofer Rockford Fosgate t20001bd Pioneer AVIC-X930BT Head Unit Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 doesnt every sub that is produced now-a-days have a gasket that goes around the entire mounting lip so you dont need to do these sort of things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blownengine Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I dont think it makes much of a difference. The time its a problem is if you can hear/feel a leak around the gasket. 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT (Yea its got a Hemi)Alpine CDA-105KnuKonceptz 0ga CCA Big 3 with Yellow Top 15" SoundQubed HDC3DC Audio 1.2K (Bass)Pioneer 6x9's (Front)Pioneer 6.5's (Rear)Kicker 3.5's (Dash)Sony amp on the highs.

HatersGonnaHate Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I see what you're talking about... Most of the newer subs do have that surround, but both of my last sets of subs came with the foam tape, and those were my Alpine Type R's and my Pioneer Premiers.
