Question for the smart guys


Recommended Posts

unfortunately I did not take any pics of that set up, it was pre smart phone so I usually just wanted to get jobs like that outta the way. you could even face subs forward and port up through the rear deck. That is always a possible solution, thats how I had my car for the longest and always had good numbers. there are so many possibilities with your system I am sure you are going to get a lot of good advice on here all with different ideas play around and find what works best. Its a race won by slow hard work not a sprint.

Yes sir! Everything has been chilling in my closet for a few months and since it's getting warmer I want to knock it out. I'll have to go look in the trunk again and see where the deck is. There are a few ledges that kill the height possibilities til mid trunk I think but I'd have enough room to put a port in giving I can squeeze the subs in that far. Definitely appreciate the help!

you have 8 cubes, assuming youre doing a single layer box with a double baffle. Factor in sub disp, and youre looking around 7.6 cubes. With a decent port, lets say that eats up 3/4 of a cube.Without any bracing youll have near 7 cubes net, but possibly a bit less.As for port area.. if its forward facing, your max height is 16.5 (with a slot). Absolute max port width is 5.75", but i dont like playing THAT close. lets say 5.25" of width.Basic multiplication gives you a max port area of ~86sqin.This *could* work, but itll be tight, in almost every possible way.Another thing to consider is actually fitting your box into the trunk opening. Many times, the opening is less wide and shorter than the actual trunk. As a result, you may need to either build in the trunk (kreg jig is sex) or cut down on dims somewhere. Unfortunately, you really cannot cut down on space.My advice is to invest in a chiropractor, once this build is complete.Good luck :good:

Lol yea most definitely will be a sore guy afterwards. Luckily I'm small and agile and with the looks of how the kreg jig works I'm hoping it won't be to horribly painful. I can make the box longer to get more space I just wanted to keep it off the trunk a little to get to the tail lights if needed which isn't that bad

I did a system that had 3 15" subs in a monte, I did a 4th order with the port blowing up through the rear deck, sounded great for 3 w6 15" subs, of course this was 2003 or 4 i think. when the subs were still black and made in the USA

If you're going for SPL, this seems like the best bet. A bandpass box and a ported box have the same efficiency, if the box size and the bandwidth is identical. Where bandpass has the edge here is that you can put 100% of the subwoofers output into the cabin. Basically the ported box is going to waste a lot of energy rattling your deck lid, pressurizing the trunk, etc. The bandpass will only pressurize the cabin.

This is the same reason that tiny cars post big SPL numbers; if there's less air to move, that raises The Schroeder Frequency and that raises your SPL.
