07sOnAtA sp.ed Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 I noticed that many people on this forum esp. people w/ trunk cars, have their subs facing up or into the cabin. is this because the trunk rattles less? better numbers on the TL? or aesthetics? either way im just wondering why a fairly good amount of people have their subs up, or back, and if there is any advantages to it?

banginAltima Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) Subs forward and port(s) forward for no really bad rattles and better TL scores.

bigbodylexus Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 I do it because my sound output is better, with the deadener the rattles are minimal.

V1G1LANT3 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Hm. would this be the same for a hatch back type car...but it has a cargo cover..so it's not exactly open to the cabin. Quote

Meaning is it possible to have rattles like a trunk car.... yes. Quote If you build it, db's will come... NSPL World Record Holder Trunk 0-1800 watts---147.9 with 1722 clamped watts @ 40Hz(9-20-09).

Torres Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 trial and error too. and if you do sub/port forward, make sure to seal it off from the trunk Quote
