datmexicankid Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 in my opinion for that set up id go ported just mat the trunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I don't know what dimensions you have to play with in that trunk. When thinking of how much sir space, you need to figure in air space that the subs AND port will take up. You need around 6 cubes before displacements I'd guess. You'll need about 4.5 cubes of air NET(after port and sub volume). Also, what is the configuration of the subs? Dual 4 ohms or dual 2 ohms? Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll.

Esaul Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Dual 4 ohm. And its way too dark to go outside and take measurements... But these trunks are fairly roomy. And I don't mind using up the whole trunk. Noob question What is sir space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esaul Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Lmao... I feel hella stupid for asking that Lol... But what is your opinion on all this? And of ported, should subs face to the trunk or the inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Dont feel stupid for asking questions dude. I think it'll take a good amp to power all 3. Your final ohm load when they are all wired up to the amp is gonna be 2.67 ohms BEFORE box rise. Once you have measurements on what you can get out of that trunk, I could give a better suggestion. If you have enough(and I feel like you might) id go ported if it were my ride. That AP puts decent power out in the 2 ohm range doesn't it? Subs should definitely face the trunk since your seat won't come down. Once built? You could move it around to see if there was any difference, but firing toward the trunk would be my first try.
