merk_master Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Posted October 19, 2009 well i was thinking that using a flat piece of mdf where my seats fold down to mount my subs using the whole trunk space as my box sorry for my noob ideas hopeful noob
Cr@sh Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 well i was thinking that using a flat piece of mdf where my seats fold down to mount my subs using the whole trunk space as my box sorry for my noob ideas It's all good, it's just that you'll get way better performance if they have a rigid solid enclosure to play from.

merk_master Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Posted October 19, 2009 could i make a box then a "face plate to blend it into my trunk opening from the back seat? would that afffect performance? i would like a smooth flush look hopeful noob
Cr@sh Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Your two main concern's for any type of enclosure is first tuning (Size of the enclosure, port area) second the rigidness and ability to hold high pressure soundwaves. Becuase your trunk is made of sheet metal it's generally a bad idea to use it as the backend of your enclosure. Here's two threads that might be of interest to you: 1. http://audioforum.termpro.com/topic/40/24075.html 2. http://audioforum.termpro.com/topic/40/23754.html Goodluck eitherway friend!

Now get to work, lol My old install at cardomain, never finished!
Brianrj90 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 If I understand you right you want to just use your whole trunk as the inside of the box? Like the steel is the mdf? If so I think you should just build a box instead because it will be much stronger and louder. Sorry if I misunderstood though >_>
Cr@sh Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Ps. check out my siggy link. It was an old setup that I never finished but the subs sounded great and didn't look to bad. My old install at cardomain, never finished!
