SlamminBeats Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 should it be subs up port up? also can you add bracing to a box if its alrdy built? Can i just rip off the front baffle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 louder seems to be subs up port back, but rattles like a mother fucker... clearer is subs up port up.. vehicle dependent though like a crx might like subs up port to the driver side..

SlamminBeats Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 right on. Which way to i run the bracing rod in the box? up and down or left to right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8skow Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Varies from car to car. Is this for music? Subs up, port to either back or driver side. As for bracing, do you own a router? I'd slap another sheet of wood over the current baffle vs. bracing with dowel or all-thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getlocivic Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 i have a 94 civic hatch.. i did subs up port back for many installs.. then i did subs up port firing to pass side.. BOTH were awesome but then i said fuck it and i walled it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlamminBeats Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 my new box is gonna be double baffle, prob no bracing, but does the common walls thing affect sound? its for music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getlocivic Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 common chamber is the most common.. it all depends on what subs and how many you use.. and yes you can add bracing to a box after its built.. but its best to just be smart and do it from the start.. brace from sub baffle to the bottom of box.. brace the sides and front to back.. eleminate all flexing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 what kind of equipment are you even using? 1 8 wont really need bracing, where as 4 18s, would.. you an get away with out bracing even some of the lower end 15s Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

SlamminBeats Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 if your subs need more power than you have, don't you make the box slightly bigger?, also when a sub need 4 cubes, thats after displacement and port displacement right? so in reality the actual box itself may be 5??

fecupe2001 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Depends entirely on the car, for example, my swift is louder with everything facing up and my buddy´s VW fox it´s louder with subs back/port side Quote I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.
