seriousgary Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 best way to face box in trunk forward firing or rear firing for daily beating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHR Ed Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Depends on your tastes and goals. Back if you just want a quick solution for decent sound, but gotta deaden the rattle. Forward for higher SPL if you seal off surrounding area. Air should not be allowed to pass between box and trunk.

Omega5002 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Rear firing if you just have a plain box, Front firing if you completely sealed the box from the trunk itself, which produces better sq over rear firing. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seriousgary Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 how hard is it to seal the trunk ? and is it worth it compared to rear firing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriousgary Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 i ordered 2 custom PSI platform 3 dual 2 15's would they sound better in a box made from scratch or a super bass box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega5002 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Box made from scratch definitly if you know what you're doing, and since those sound like nice subs, it'll be worth your time to have them face foward to get the most outta them. Sealing takes extra work, but it's well worth it since the subs are in a better acoustic postion, so the sound is more accurate, and louder of course. My friend has 2 JL W3's facing front in a custom made fiberglass enclosure, and they sound really good, and very loud, and they are sealed, so ported would be even louder. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriousgary Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 omega so does that mean i'll have to seal of the trunk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriousgary Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 should i go with a box design similar to mariob's build that he did in his sebring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega5002 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yes, the box has to be completely sealed off from the trunk so sound doesn't leak, but don't ask me how, cause I'm trying to learn too for my future built, I only know the science. You would be better off asking the experts for the design. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
