joey2714 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I have a Ford explorer SUV. Right now i have 2 12" solo x with approx 4600 watts. 12 cubic foot box tuned to 32 hz subs up port back. I am going to change to 4 12" bl's. if i were to keep the rear seats folded down, how would subs up port forward affect my spl? all the air would basically be firing right up over the center console.

Eddy722 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Subs up port back, not forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick824 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Try it out. If it doesn't work just turn the box around so the port fires back. Trying to figure out what works best in your vehicle is all about test & tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevrbumpn Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 from all my studies, and experiments, port faceing the direction furthest away from mic location, or ears will gain the best spl, and subwoofer direction based on cars accoustics.... any Vet in the spl world would probably say the same thing about port direction.... Basically port direction needs to be furthest from the listener, or mic, because of standing waves which will be caused by reflections in sound, and when the soundwaves collide, there will be cancelation, which means loss in db Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
