RainStryke Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 In my Toyota Corolla I tried facing my subs to the cabin with the seats down and it was considerably louder when faced towards the trunk. I would suggest facing them towards the trunk and closer to they are to the back of the trunk, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenSchoen Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 In my Toyota Corolla I tried facing my subs to the cabin with the seats down and it was considerably louder when faced towards the trunk.

Unless you sealed it off the only reason it was louder was because you were getting cancellation. meaning the note were entering the cabin out of phase with each other causing your bass output to be reduced greatly. Facing them toward the rear causes one set of sound wave to reflect of the rear of the trunk and join with the second set of waves going toward the cabin. Facing the front of the car without sealing the box causes problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainStryke Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Well, I didn't make it a permanent install, so no... it's not sealed. Didn't think the OP was talking about facing it forward and ceiling it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstoSoup Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 OP, if you're dead set on firing into the cabin, I would definitely recommend sealing the trunk off around the box. IMO, walled trunks are louder than the ports and subs firing back so if you are willing to do the work, it would be worth it. Would go like 6" from the closest part of the seat back, leaving room for loading when the seats are up.

boom50cal Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'll take pictures of my tear down for you, how it was originally planned(woulda worked with different amp placement) was the 60 seat could stay up while the 40 seat was down. Ended up opposite, still played great. Actually had better low end response that way. On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

OrionStang Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Some people need to stop trying help without the knowledge or experience to properly do so. Evermaxx, 50cal will point you in the right direction. If you have the time, go through my old trunk builds. I have one with the box right t the back seats, and one with the box pushed back. The latter has a collar/tunnel from the box to the seat opening, with sealing panels built around that. Ill search for pics after I get back from the gas station.

Who's trying to help with no knowledge or experience? All I did was state two facts, when firing forward he should seal around the box and the subs shouldn't be TOO close to the seat backs.
