But i do have an armrest hole thats like 8"x8" My three options are in the poll Sub up, port up Sub up, port back Sub up, port through Armrest I was leaning towards the third option.

chapo123 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 yeah i say port thru the deck.. but put sub back not sub up you gonna get alot of rattle Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tebo Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 when I had my trunk car i did port back sub back and folded my seats down and the shit got pretty loud. I can't say anything about armrest of up because ive never done it. Well I know with port up you will get a lot of flex.

Wastehog Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'm not going to vote because I have the same question.. I like the idea of Port thru deck, but as to sub up or back is the question.. Port thru deck seals it to the cabin, I think.. Quote 1985 Chevy Silverado Black and Silver SBC 350/700r4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZeFF Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) yeah i say port thru the deck.. but put sub back not sub up you gonna get alot of rattle I would port through the deck.. but thats too much damn glassing and shit that i just dont have the time/experience for... Also, its an 18" sub... it doesn't fit facing backwards, lol Also... like i said in my original post, my seats dont fold down... I looked into making them fold down.. but there was too many electronic components that would need to be moved. And as to rattle... something tells me im gonna get rattle no matter what i do. But, thats what second skin is for.

cc_audio Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 You are going to lose so much output to that trunk, i would invest in making your seats fold down, even if you have to used cheap simple hinges and velcro. But If thats absolutely impossible I would do slot port firing towards one of the sides of the trunk. With sub up of course, and deaden the trunk to death. I put 3/4" MDF on my trunk, and I'm still trying to add some more strength to it. Trunks are evil, gotta get around their weaknesses. Quote It's all gone!

Making the seats fold is absolutely impossible... there is metal support bars behind the seats, and they have like 6 different electronic sensors/computers attached to them. Not only would i have to cut out a large part of the interna frame.. but i would have to extend like 50 wires... lol Quote Pioneer x930 bt Rockford t2500 bdcp 18" nightshade v1 DC audio 175.4 RF power T162s up front, infinity 3 way 6x9's in the back (removing rear stage and re-doing doors soon) 3x XS power D2700's Knukonceptz 0awg all around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 rip out the rea deck sheet metal and make somewhat of a speaker grill to cover it and that could open up some space to let in more aire face it al forward selaing off from the trunk but angling the sub so it fits? man i know them trunks are a bitch(atleast the 98s) Quote March 2010 SOTM winner my old buildhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/50219-dank-aka-crackers-bonne-new-v2-build-in-the-works-hahahaaaaaa/page__hl__crackers my youtube page - http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=jackiedan04#g/u my feedback - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/56540-official-cracker-feedback/ i need tacos and bass to live!!!!! and will NEVER change hahaaaa TEAM NOIZE VIOLATION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
