OrionStang Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 Open to suggestions on how to setup my sub, a single Havoc 12 in sealed box. My first plan was to fire it forward and seal off from the trunk, just like a ported box. But now i'm considering something like the q-logic, that fits in the corner of the trunk. Want to hear what the forum thinks. I am open to other ideas as well, so lets hear them. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread

skittlesRgood Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 well your goal obviously isnt getting loud so then do whatever your goal IS. saving space? go with the side of the trunk. trying to get the most out of something small? seal it off.

If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

OrionStang Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Posted January 6, 2013 I can build that. DO you have it more torwards the rear of the trunk, or up against the back seats? (I don't have back seats) SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
ToNasty Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 why not build a box, move it around until you like how it sounds and then mount it. i do that in all my vehicles. i ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
OrionStang Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Posted January 6, 2013 why not build a box, move it around until you like how it sounds and then mount it. i do that in all my vehicles. i Because if I do the corner box, It will be form fit. I never heard one of them before, but I like the clean look. I think firing forward will give me the most with a little, like Skittles said. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
ToNasty Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 thats fine but im just saying, even build a tempbx just so you know how it sounds in general area, but yes i just did a little sealed build on my cousins car , forward facing was the best but as you know each vehicle is differant. it was a nissan maxima ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
stroupe79 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 do you have your battery in the trunk? or 2nd battery in the trunk? put the sub enclosure on opposite side to counterbalance the weight... http://www.stevemead...cherokee-build/ 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDE-hd148bt Alpine PKG-RSE2 PRV Audio (4) 6MB200 front/rear doors PRV Audio (4) TW350Ti dash/rear doors Kicker KX350.4 Obsidian Audio (1) 18 D4 v2 revamp (2) Stereo Integrity HT 18d2DC Audio 1.2k5.25ft^3 tuned @34hz revamp Infinite Baffle Cpillar AudioTechnix 60mil deadenerKnuKonceptz & SkyHigh wire (complete setup)
certifiednut Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 i would do the form fit corner box if you are set on sealed. Because if you are going to go through sealing off the trunk, you might as well build the box a bit larger and throw in a 4" aero. these orphans aren't going to feast on themselves

I'll use the IB baffle as a template for the new baffle, then seal the edges with foam. FYI, a proper ported box for this sub would be 3x as big as the sealed one. The idea here is to save weight and have a very flat bass curve. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
