larrys95civic Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Mine is an xlt with out the 3rd row seating though so I have a big cargo space. My current enclosure is about 10" from the rear gate and my rear gate has 4 layers of sound dampening. Only issue I've been having are the hinges on my glass are breaking.

sbg Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 crazy must just be about box/sub . because most all the people on here say port to driver side /sub up is the loudest... and that if u damp your back gate that u lose db's. i dont have a 3rd row and have big cargo space to and to me my lows are better with sub up port back but didnt seem as loud to the ear for me. and i like to be more loud then low but thats just me.

larrys95civic Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I really feel that subs, box and power make a huge difference in every build. Thats why the peak frequency of your vehicle changes with every set up. My box is 12 cubes so it takes up a ton of room, if you have lets say 12's in a box less than 1/2 of that it's not going to sound nearly the same if I put the box in the same place. This kind of stuff is usually what I use to get bored and do at the shop when we were slow lol.

larrys95civic Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 All you can do is try different positions bro, each one is different. Mine is that far back right now yours, will vary on distance. Do you have a termlab or have access to one?
