basshead4life Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 okay the box i have now is about 5 cubes tuned at 36. its subs up port back in my sedan with about 4-5 inches from top of box to trunk lid. i was wondering if it to be louder to make a box, that would basicly be a wall in the trunk goind fom floor to top of trunk. i know theres no way to tell but just generally or if someone has done this. i would like some input before i build it.

(if that confuses you then you get the point) lol
tehbert0 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 if you want your subs to face up then don't do it since they need to breathe http://motorcitydesignsaudio.com
Cr@sh Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 If you can fit them, I would put the subs and port on the front firing into the cabin sealed off from the trunk. There are a few SPL trunkers doing this and doing well! One example - http://audioforum.termpro.com/topic/40/23754/12.html#000283 My old install at cardomain, never finished!

However if your in a situation where you can't seal it off then subs back port to the side has worked, although I can't see anyone not being able to seal them off from the trunk.
