hdorre Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 So.. Ive been thinking. Realistically, the biggest subs I can fit volume wise in my hatch are 10s.. and even that is limited due to mounting depth. I did some talking and measuring, and didnt realize how much space was hidden in my back seat. In my back seat alone, I could fit 2 15s comfortably.. meaning I could literally THROW them in. I could make a false floor like so, and attach my box to it: Id have the box as high as the main trim piece go (before the quarter windows) Obviously Id make trim panels to make it all look flush. Now, I dont see this done often, so I have questions.. First and foremost, is this effective and efficient? No, it wont be as efficient as walling at the b pillar and sealing off, but would this be "bad?" Secondly, how would you orient the subs and port? Up, down, left, right, forward, back.. so on and so forth lol Third, does anyone have any other recommendations or care to share their experiences?

OrionStang Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 I suggest either a wall or deal with your limited hatch space. You don't have a car that will be easy to get big bass out of. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRON Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 You might have seen this build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179347-99-civic-2-dc-lvl-6-18s-no-wall-pics-and-vid-528/ I don't know how much of a space difference there is between his and yours though.

sencheezy Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hmmm, so is that a hatch? This will be difficult to attack. I say that becuase, if it was a trunk, then yeah, no problem. The trunk will actually aid you in sealing all sound pressure from the cargo department. But with a hatch, would be lots of work keeping all the bass moving toward the cabin. I think I would vote for sticking with the 2 10 design in the back. I mean, I guess you "could" do 2 15" in the back seat, but again, would be hard to manage keeping all bass moving forward. Here is a good set of 10's to look into.

OrionStang Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 A wall would seal that off just fine. A back seat box with a panel trying to seal it off would just look ridiculous. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 i think were thinking of two different things. I dont mean a wall right behind the box. Thats plain ugly. Im looking at pics i have on my phone.. because i had a mental image.. but i dont see it working On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
