Kevin M Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I saw from another thread you have a trunk setup. All that bass would kill those speakers in the rear deck. You would need to build some enclosures for them. 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin M Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 The pressure the subwoofer creates has to go somewhere. Even with the rear seat down. It will will force the rear speakers to over excursion. Over time the voice coil could come out of the gap on the 6.5 and damage it. Same with an 8" if you installed it there without an enclosure. You may be able to hear them but that doesn't mean they aren't at risk. 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to build some enclosures for the speakers to prevent the pressure getting to them and seal them to the rear deck. I would find something like this and reinforce it with some fiberglass or build them out of wood. http://www.amazon.com/XTC-5-1-Foam-Baffle-Pair/dp/B0002ZPO2W 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbarrera93 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Cheapest and easiest is to just build a box for them. Take some measurements and seal them off from the trunk. 2001 Chevy Blazer LS Kenwood KDC-HD552U 2 12" SDC 2.5 D4 Fi SP4 18" 4 Sundown SA-12's HiFonics BE 1200.1 Soundstream RUB1.2500D Looking for a 5k XS Power D3100 4 Soundqubed 6.5's (Pro Audio) 2 Soundqubed 3-Way 6.5's 2 Soundqubed Super Tweeters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
