Hunters21w Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I have an 18" in a pontiac bonneville. I faced the sub up last time and it sounded really good but I just wanted some opinions on subs facing forward. The sub wont fit facing directly forward but after thinking about it, I think if I took out my spare that I could tilt it so that the magnet would clear. Any opinions on facing the sub forward like that compared to facing up port back would be appreciated. thanks Quote 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunters21w Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Dang thats sick. To tell you the truth, facing mine up sounded reallyyy good. I just feel like I could get just a little bit more by doing this but it would be more work, just tryin to see if its worth it. I like how you sealed it off tho, thats basicly a must for facing forward isnt it Quote 06 Police TahoeHU- Pioneer 80prsAmp- Crossfire 8kSub- 4 15" Crossfire xs v2sWire- 1/0 Knu/AudiotechnixAlt- 3 Mechman SMD 340sBatts- 6 XS Power 3100s, 2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters21w Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I would do sub back port back but I don't have enough clearance to face it like that. My only other choice was to fire up port back and it was much louder than I expected. Its almost like firing it up in a suv or somethin.

I like how you sealed it off tho, thats basicly a must for facing forward isnt it yeah its sealed off from the trunk you have to do that or it sound like crap firing them into the trunk sounds good but idk it seem like your losing to me cause your bouncing the sound around in the trunk before you get it into the cab of the car seems to me like wasted energy but its a proven way to do it and I have done it myself a few times in the past Quote 06 chrysler 300C Hemi one mmatts dreadnaut 15 powered by a planet audio vx 2200d fosgate p200 running planet audio 8" midbass drivers and super compression tweeters stock battery and a stinger spv44 Irragi 300 amp alternator big 3 1/0 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/55075-system-in-my-300c/page__view__findpost__p__763656__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters21w Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yea im just tryin to make it as efficient as I can. Almost thinkin about gettin a 15 or 2 just so I can face them forward easily. I like havin the 18 in the trunk though. You think if I had any kind of deadener on the lid it would make any difference?

keepinitloud Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 if your firing it into the trunk sound deadner is a must to quiet down the rattles and the flex should get louder to Quote 06 chrysler 300C Hemi one mmatts dreadnaut 15 powered by a planet audio vx 2200d fosgate p200 running planet audio 8" midbass drivers and super compression tweeters stock battery and a stinger spv44 Irragi 300 amp alternator big 3 1/0 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/55075-system-in-my-300c/page__view__findpost__p__763656__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters21w Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 So if I did it, would deadening just the lid be a waste or would it be a noticeable difference?
