Boon Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Don't run those subs in a sealed box. You'll burn them real quick. Something about the motors on them makes them get hot hot hot and if there isn't airflow through the box.... Don't be lazy, build something inside the boot. It's not hard. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

It's not hard. oh great you tell me after i bought the sealed box .and the lazyness well im not good with building stuff and the local shop would have done it ported and all for 350 now thats a lot more then what i paid for one sub.but how long you think theyll last with the sealed box in them? Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

L0WT0N3Z Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 You should have no problem getting 5 cu.ft into that trunk, and these subs will work in sealed enclosures. Soundstream recommends stuffing the enclosure. Quote L0WT0N3Z Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much power are you giving them? If it's less than ~500w of clean power to each you'll be fine. 800wrms upwards and things will get toasty... Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

If you are worried about airflow to the motors, just invert the subs.
