Eric B Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Ok I'm planning to run a 15" BL in my trunk and was wondering what box idea would be louder. 1. A regular ported box facing the rear. 2. Wall off the trunk and have the sub facing the cabin in a ported box, with this setup i could make the install look nice with the box i would do the plexiglass with mirror inside of it with some L.E.D. lights in it or something to see when you pop open the trunk with the amps on the floor with a false floor, itd look real nice but it gotta sound good too...would that way be louder??? and my seat fold down if that has any factor...thanks Quote 2007 Chevy HHR LT UNDER CONSTRUCTION 1st Place Loud N Low 2010 MWSPL Finals 3rd Place Xtreme 3 2010 MWSPL Finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facing backward can have cancellation issues.

07mazda3s Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 ok thanks for the quick response IMO it all depends on the car. My box isnt sealed from the trunk but for some reason it hits loudest and clearest facing sideways. I've tried it every direction w/ the seats down and up.

civichatch Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 ide go with idea 2. Would probably hit harder. And sounds like it could look alot nicer to.

demonstr8 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 i'd go with your 2nd idea. i'm ported firing to the rear and i'm getting everything ready to do what everyone is recommending. and i can vouch on the cancellation issues. i got rattles on top of rattles and cant get rid of them.

Eric B Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Thanks for all the input, I will most likely do the sealing off the trunk idea, itll be alot of work but worth it. Another question I'm gunna run a T10001Bd amp to that BL what options would I need, I know cooling for sure but I dont know about the flatwind coil and everything, and I shouldnt expect much rattling from the trunk if I seal the trunk off, should I?
