Subs towards Ski Hole - BAD Idea or Good Results?

[TaylorFade]

My advice- and you may not like it- is to go infinite baffle. It is the ultimate space saving alignment AND the bonus is that the theoretical output is the same as sealed except more efficient. They won't take as much power in IB, but they won't need to.

Edit: you will also gain a ton of low end extension. Bonus.

Don't sleep on IB. It can get rowdy.

he can't, he needs the back seat and storage in the trunk

What does that have to do with anything? My BMW is infinite baffle and I still have my back seat and trunk.

Do you think I'm suggesting a wall?

where Would he put the subs? And a ib most of the time you need to seal the trunk.

maybe I'm just thinking about the huge 4 15s ib set ups. never seen the smaller ones in person

just searched them, i see what your saying.

I've only seen the several 15s and 18s with subs firing into the cabin and trunk being the box.

he could do that but he would have to drop a sub. our run 3 tens. a ported box for 3 12s should be at leaslt 6ft. (at least)

but the money you get for selling a sub will cover the cost of the box.

How do you figure that he needs at least 6 cu. ft., You can easily put a 12 in less than 2 cubes each

Personally I would look into doing a 4th order and port it through the ski hole, even if it means only doing 2 subs instead of 3

you can yes, but why? imo if your gonna do less then 2 cubic feet ported go with tens. i wouldn't put a 12 in less then 2.5net but that's me. small box =small sound

You couldn't be more wrong, please stop giving out bad information when you clearly have no clue what your talking about

[Aj11]

id love to hear why giving a sub the most air space you can Is bad, I'm not saying give a 12 5cubic feet.

so your saying instead of my subs having 2.5 they would be louder,deeper with a smaller box? oh please do tell?

and you said they do fine in 1.5 net right? so now lets add oh idk .3 .5 for the port hmm so 1.5 x3 = 4.5 now lets add 1cube for enough port for 3 12s that's 5.5 gross... wow .5 off from what i Said.. but ya know that's bad advice! shame on me!

You were acting like every 12 out there should be in no less than 2.5 cubes or else you'll have "small sound" as you put it. That couldn't be more wrong, do you realize how many subs are optimized for smaller boxes? Also if you read my post again I suggested going from 3 subs down to 2 if need be
