audioman21 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Posted November 26, 2006 I was thinkin about doing four 12's sealed the trunk of a sedan.What do you guys think would be the best way to have em' firing, all four facing up or two facing the rear and two facing the front?Would I run into cancellation with the ways listed?
audioman21 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Posted November 26, 2006 I want to go sealed on this application in a 2001 Chevy Malibu.the reason I asked is because I heard that when you have multiple subs firing in different directions it causes cancellation,same thing when up firing in a trunk there's not enough room for the bass to reflect right or something.Don't know if it's right i was just double checking.I'm not competing I just want to move a good amount of air so a little db loss won't matter.
kingsuv Posted November 26, 2006 Report Posted November 26, 2006 You are correct, you will get cancellation if you fire 2 forward and 2 to the rear. Unless it's 2 seperate boxes. Doing 4 up would work a little better but won't acheive the sound you are looking for. Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it.
audioman21 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Posted November 26, 2006 Do you think a single 18"Q facing up with the port facing the rear work better? I know that in a sedan subs and port facing the rear is the best because of the waves reflecting.I really wanna do a wall but its out of the question because of the kids,but I do still get to use the whole trunk.

Does the rear seat fold down? If you really can, I would fire the sub and port into the cabin and seal it off from the trunk. if not then either sub up or to the back and port back. Leave enough room around the sides of the box so the sound will bounce back into the cabin. Designing, building, and shipping boxes.
