Sub Back Port Forward?

[mbdblue]

dont really know much about whether or not there would be a big # difference but its mostly 2 things: Im not wild about the fact that its hard to hear/see the sub distorting in a bandpass and I wouldnt know the first thing about calculating airspace and tuning the port for them...

banginaltima did it. you see his numbers

No he didn't. His subs are firing up and his ports are foward. Not subs back and port foward like the question that was asked.

this.

so it looks like my options are to go with either sub up-port forward or sub down-port forward....cuz Ive tried to research bandpass but I havent been able to find any info on what size airspace the sealed box should be and the vented box should be....so my next question would be, how much space would you put between the sub and w/e is in front of it....ex. sub down would hit the bottom so how much space would you have to make sure it doesnt?...and if anyone has any input on the sound/spl of these setups lemme know...this is all pretty new to me cuz Ive only ever done standard sealed or ported boxes...

i'd just allow for a couple inches for the excursion of the cone. it should be safe otherwise. the port is what you gotta have a certain distance from other objects. i think it was in joe's thread with the s10 that his subs actually touched the seats? dno if that was with them playing or off. but definitely close either way

thats what I was thinkin but Ill probably have to extend the width if Im makin the overall height shorter to compensate airspace...

^yeah man I was thinkin about what you told me too...only thing is, the port would be mad close to the fender well....Im gonna be workin on the car all day today so Ill take some pics and post em up to see what you guys think...
