Eric B Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 How would a downfiring box sound in a trunk and would it put up descent numbers? Has anyone tried this?

Eric B Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I was think port andsub facing down and sealed off from the trunk, so wouldnt that be a bandpass? I could fit 2 15s that way and could fit 4 12s tha way also, or i could jus do it the other way and have 2 12s ported and sealed off from the trunk, what yall think?

I could fit 2 15s that way and could fit 4 12s tha way also, or i could jus do it the other way and have 2 12s ported and sealed off from the trunk, what yall think? ive got 2 15's downfireing in my truck behind the seat n it beats hard, basicly what a downfire does is take the front wave of the speaker n fires it off the floor to give that reverbitation and a louder sound, but the hight off the floor is a tricky thing, if its to high it wont sound right, but if its to low the cone will hit, mines 3'' off the back seets in my truck and sounds killer, im not sure about downfireing ported box tho might try n cancle itself out with the air hittin the cone as it comes out n messin with the front wave, all the downfire boxs ive seen is eather sub down port back/side/front/ or sub down sealed, ied try diff boxs tho, oh and a downfire is kinda picky to, ied take some wire mesh n make a trim pannel around the hole were the air comes out so if trash or somethin gets sucked up in it i wont mess up ur subs, and most downfires i kno sound better when its shaped like |__| three walls n air comes out the open spot, not really a need for rounded cuts n make sure the floor is flat without any creases it may affect the sound, i had a 5500 12'' ina downfire box prolly 1cf if that sealed powered with a ma400w amp and it was slumpin, anyways hope that helped and good luck with ur build Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought 4 of the eD 12's thats why im asking this. I guess i could go buy a sheet of 5/8" MDF and try it...
