Omega5002 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 But how to do it, this is my basic view of it(anyone correct me if I'm wrong) but you make you box first, then you make a baffle the shape of your trunk, and you put it over the box, and make sure the design doesn't have the woofers touch the seat, then you get the expanding foam spray(what Steve Meade refers as the "great stuff:) for extra sealing off the box. It's also a good idea to apply sound deadening mats on the rear deck to reduce rattle.

Omega5002 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 If it's sealed off good the trunk won't rattle really. Yeah, you rarely will get rattle when facing forward. My friend with the 2 JL W3's, has them on an HD 750/1 in a sealed box, and rattle only occurs when his headunit is at least 33/35(loud as fuck lol), and the trunk and spolier barely rattles a bit and no body flex. Me, with just a cvr12 on a regular ported box on an MB Quart 600 watt mono amp, I suffer trunk rattle like crazy, and body flex, the rattle was so bad, it knocked off the spring inside the locking mechanism, so I couldn't lock my trunk, and had to go to my friends to fix it, so to reduce rattle, face it forward. 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)
seriousgary Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Posted February 14, 2012 how much would it run to get a sealed off trunk box as oppose to a regular box (estimate)?
Omega5002 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 To do it yourself, shouldn't cost you that much extra, just extra mdf, expanding foam, and sub box carpet if you wanna make it look clean. To have a pro do it, well depends on the shop, you have to ask around, but it usually costs alot more, especially when they do it with fiberglass. 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)
seriousgary Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Posted February 14, 2012 so should i just build the box to seal up the trunk best i can and then seal the rest off with the foam
Omega5002 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Yeah, seal off the baffle with the foam, then when everything is all set, cover it with box carpet to make it look good. 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)
