Eddy722 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Usually when you seal it off properly you hear an audible difference. And if you face them forward keep the seats down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amalan Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 actually a friend of mine had his subs facing to the side and the port to the rear in his suv and it sounded much louder and any other way. its not applying to trunk cars but i can see how that would get loud i mean if it gets loud in your car the way you have it then do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlpineGuy87 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 yea, with sealing off the trunk to cabin, what should you do? I have a rather large box that is 1-2 inches free space on either side and about 3-4 on the top of the box.. How should one seal off his trunk from the cabin. I got subs and ports facing forward. (seat down) Quote 06 SCION tC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 i usally make a 1-piece that attaches to the front of the enclosure with a chamber in the front, but since your allready done with the box you can make small "filler" panels, top-sides- and bottom.

andym85 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 here is what ray is saying...a panel that attaches to the front baffle to seal everything off...which is how i did my first build (kinda rough, but it was my first build/install) and the other way ray was talking about, "filler" panels for sides, bottom, and top, which is my current setup, and a lot cleaner looking..

demonstr8 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 can you still put the seat back up if you need to? but im sure that takes away most of the bass doesnt it? im thinking about firing forward, something similar to the pics above....i'll have the seat down like 90% of the time, but im just wondering what it sounds like with the seat up if that time comes around.

andym85 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 yea, i can still put the back seat up, but it doesnt lock in place but only because i got some expanding foam in the lock mechinisim. it doesnt sound too bad with the seat up, but definately looses some loudness Quote i likes me some audio stuff...

andym85 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 before i sealed everything off i rattled all to hell...after i sealed it all the rattling stopped almost altogether, i cant hear any rattling but there might be just a touch if your listening from the outside.
