6x9's sound bad when seats are laid down. Shoud I seal them?


Recommended Posts

When I lay my seats down, the 6X9 speaker get much quieter. I believe they behave as though they are in free air and there is some wave cancellation going on. Should I seal them with MDF board? Also when I have subs in the trunk, would the pressure move the 6x9 cones and defeat the point of having them? would having them sealed help with this? any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Info on where the by 9's are would help. I'm gonna guess rear deck tho.

The subs won't affect the speaker noticeably so don't worry about that.

As for the speaker sounding quieter, you got me.

crutchield sells a poly type material that is the same shape as your 6x9's seals them up pretty good, however ive seen them help and hurt depending on your car...

ive seen a set of rockford t16x9 where the cone was torn and the tweeter broke off from the air movement of the setup in the trunk pushing the 6x9 cone to far. of couse this was with a single 15 on roughly 1.5k where the port was right below the 6x9 that took more damage with the back seat up so the air was looking for somewhere to go.

im sure sealing them off wont hurt to try.

You could rebuild the rear deck out of mdf and make a shallow box hanging into the trunk from the rear deck.

And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle ;)

Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..
