Sergeant_Skyrim Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 This may seem like a pretty self-explanatory question, but is it as simple as mounting the subwoofer into the baffle before gluing/screwing the rest of the box together? Or is there a simpler/better way to do so? It's the only way I could think of and is how I think I might be doing my next box Quote Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB18VFL Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 its really that simple, just take a good amount of time to make sure your surround doesnt touch...

tacomaguy1 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 No...how would you get the sub out? Just put the box all the way together then mount the sub inverted Quote Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noob_On_Droid Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 The sub is still on the outside of the box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacomaguy1 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 And?....maybe cut out the mounting hole a little bigger so the surround doesn't hit the baffle Quote Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB18VFL Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 The sub is still on the outside of the box... yeah but thats mad ugg. if youre really careful, you shouldnt have any problem just mounting the sub on the outside.

tacomaguy1 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 It can look good if the sub has a custom basket or something Quote Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I don't know if you can say there is a "right" way to do it, but there are lots of wrong ways to do it. Like others have said, make sure the surround isnt going to touch the baffle. And make sure the sub isn't so heavy that it may pull away from the baffle. So take that into consideration. And just like mounting normally get a good seal between the baffle and sub face. Quote Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

Sergeant_Skyrim Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Alright, that makes sense. I saw Mikey Pilato's Hummer this weekend at SBN that Singer built and it had the subs inverted through multiple baffles. Was just curious as to how I'd do that through only 2 or 3 baffles though. I just thought that there'd be a sealing issue when turning the sub around and mounting it on the face of the baffle because the Kickers I've got now have a sort of hard plastic that the screws go through and I could've sworn the face of the sub isn't "flat." And no I won't be inverting the Kickers, but when I upgrade to an SSA Zcon I was thinking about doing it with that Quote Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
