TRUNK Build 2 12's on BC 5500, Sealed Off? HELP/Advice!


Recommended Posts

Well guys, this seems to be the debate everywhere. I'm in the process of a new build: (2) Q2200's strapped on (2) 12" DSS Ethos. I've ALWAYS fired back both subs and port, but the rattles and panel flexing was/is driving me nutz. I have a TON of RoadKill Expert and QMat in the trunk and put another Trunk pack of QMat in today. I've been planning this build for a month now, subs forward port forward sealed off in the cabin. I've spent 2 straight days sealing the trunk and rear deck. Now today, I've been hearing that it might be better for SPL to fire subs and port back at trunk lid? WTF??? Please don't tell me I've spent all this time on my car to only flip my enclosure back around and fire it at the trunk lid? I've been planning this build to put up some solid SPL numbers and I hope that I'm not doing it wrong!

So, it's about 50/50 everywhere I look. Some say to fire in the cabin completely sealed to eliminate cancellation, and others say that firing in cabin is only good for SQ... Which is it? Or is it vehicle dependent? I'm going forward with my build (2013 Toyota Camry) and firing forward, sealed off. I will give you guys the results and TermLab numbers hopefully by next weekend.
