Best way to aim ports for a Scion TC (hatchback)

Bump...

Bought the materials to build the box...Need to get this one done Saturday so I can get started on the Expedition  :construction:

One question...

Each sub has it's own chamber or both sharing the same chamber...I'm thinking of doing both subs in the chamber.

Final dimensions

41"w

16"h

20"d

If your're driving both subs w/ the same output i.e. a monoblock or bridged 2 channel it doesn't matter. Only if you're runnig sep amps/channels to each sub, then you SHOULD divide them. Some folks say you gain a lil bit in compound loaded boxes/common chamber doe to some kinda of pressure coupling hoopla that is physics beyond my understanding so i just use the channel division rule and no probs w/ that.

As far as box design I'm pretty much right w/ the guys on this one.

Hatch/CRX hybrid cabin? =hatch/CRX hybrid box design.

I point the subs as directly at the glass as possible to increase refraction/deflection of waves off a pretty inert material like glass rather than have the wave directly impact the softer/more flexible interior panels of the trunk and lose/dissipate some energy w/ that flex (flex=loss of energy). So w/ subs pointing kinda diagonally up at the glass, I'd try to set my port kinda like the one on Big J's burban how it's very Low on the back side of the box and firing straight rearward.

I think you could further the "funnel effect of THAT setup by mounting your amp/s at an angle against the rear wall of the trunk/hatch to slope upward and guide the wave up into the interior cabin along the roof/cieling just like Meade's Resin 45's in his boxes. Think of the hatch AS the box and make it the same shape or close to what you would the inside of a box to maximize transfer of energy from box/woofer to occupants/mic up front.

I like Tc's personally I wish I had one to work on.
