was pondering the idea of running my 2 Kicker Comps in a free-air design. They are currently in a sealed box and sound decent, but i read that these subs are suitable for free-air design as well.. any thoughts or suggestions? car is an 05 Saturn Ion

Is this guy real or is he joking? i actually mistook him for a lesbian in that demo video

Wanted to mess around with a box for the garage. Was thinking 4 6x9 in 4 cube at like 30 hz...

These are the things that make me lol

Well if you're gonna do an infinite battle setup, I'd recommend the subs facing foward with the baffle completely sealed from the trunk to make it work properly. Could be a good experiment to try out.

yes, also known as infinite baffle.. any tips besides facing forward and sealed off from the trunk?

the easiest way to describe it: a free air application does NOT separate the front and rear waves, an infinite baffle application does.

and

it's all good :)

keep the gains and subsonic in check, thats about all there is to it.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.
