newschoolsoundz Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 this is not a vs thread i am asking simply for personal experiences people have had from sealing off their trunks vs say a box with subs firing forward port to drivers side wall of box on the side of box? my question is wich route you personally chose an what sub amp combo did you use? also what did you meter or how did it turn out?

newschoolsoundz Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Posted October 29, 2013 im asking simply for actual true life experiences i understand car, tuning, subs, power, position of port, an alot of things play into the outcome thanks tho
newschoolsoundz Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Posted October 29, 2013 im not some idiot who has done no research ive read an researched into both it seems easier to just not seal off an get loud but sealing off correctly can also result in being loud
DubNDodge Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 I did it just because I didn't want trunk rattle, and get somewhat of a usable trunk rather than having to worry when putting stuff next to the subs. Plus I can look to my back seats and see my subs. You're right, anyone can just drop some subs in facing rear and get loud. It takes a bit more skill and craftsmanship to seal off. Even more so to make it look decent and not some rice job.

newschoolsoundz Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Posted October 29, 2013 yea the consensus is its easier to get loud subs forward port to side. that being said with work trunk walls can be as loud if not louder look clean an give cleaner sound some say. im leaning highly towards sealed off.
MACnonsence6 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Posted October 30, 2013 in my epiernce my subs seemed louder facing the trunk well idk about louder but it messed with my ears and nose more then it did when i sealed them off but after sealing them i move alot more air everything sounds so much better and lows are just nasty I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha. Tonight should be good haha.
slowfkncar Posted October 30, 2013 Report Posted October 30, 2013 If you are sealed off completely you will probably have better low end output and better SQ, as far as burping some cars are louder loading in the trunk. Personally I will never go back to a trunk loading setup , being sealed lets my seats wobble and my sunroof flap ,not that I enjoy it,but its better then a trunk being torn to shreds.
WillPwn4Food Posted October 30, 2013 Report Posted October 30, 2013 When I had my cadence in the trunk, mine metered better, sounded louder, and sounded better sub back port to passenger's side. Sub forward port to driver's side did worst. Would have loved to seal it off with port and sub facing forward, but went to 2 Fi N2 15's that didn't meter worth 2 shits subs forward and port to passenger's side(But I also had about 1" clearance around the whole box so the subs were nearly completely sealed). Couldn't fit port and subs forward but that's what I would have done... Buuuuuut then I sold them and did a wall. You'll want to too one day. You just wait.
