nicor6 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Hey SMD's!! wazzap brothers?! Well my question is pretty simple...I have been seeing a lot of people doing builds mostly in SUV's..And setups in trunk cars are getting very rare..My point is if there are some people doing trunk builds and got some experience with it i wold like to know something..What is best for a sedan car with the back seats always up..Sub firing up and port firing @ the back?? or sub and port both firing @ the back?? which makes it sound a lot louder?? Any ideas are welcome!! and i hope i made myself clear! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deschain420 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 With trunk only, most cars tend to sound best with sub and port firing back...but each one is different. If possible, move the box around to see what sounds best. Porting the rear deck is a great way to let some of that trunk sound into the cabin, no matter what you choose.

Porting the rear deck is a great way to let some of that trunk sound into the cabin, no matter what you choose. this ^ subs back port back, you can also try subs back port to drivers side. there are other trhings that you can do as well that will help you gain some output for instance taking out your deck speakers and allowing some airflow in that way, but as said above subs forward and porting the rear deck is by far the best way to get max output out of a trunk set up that have seats that don't fold down.

dakidd7891 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 i have a corolla and i have my 2 12'' w3s ported all aimed straight back. its pretty loud. just leave your seats laying flat when your driving around and put them back up when your parked Quote NEW ORLEANS SLAP Alpine CDE-103BT 2 12'' JL Audio W3v3-4 Hifonics HIF1500.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacomabanga1986 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 i unno if its just me but why does how the sub face make a diff in a ported box? pritty much all the sound is comeing from the port anyways so what does faceing the subs do to change sound? and porting threw rear deck sounds good but if u cant get a big enough hole in the deck it will sound like ass every car ive heard that was ported in rear deck was loud as shit i heard a monticarlo with 2 l7 12's that was ported threw rear deck and it got down something fierce, i think it was 4 or 6'' by 12 or 14'' rectangle im gunna do a trunk car with 2 15's and i still dunno how its gunna fit, might halfto angle the front of the box to get enough room for em to fit, my seats fold down tho so there gunna be faceing into cabbin, fireing into cabbin is louder but only if u can seal it off from rest of trunk, all the sound goes back into trunk and sets there so ur not really getting any efficiency out of it mines gunna be sealed firing forward, i was gunna try firing backward but trunk rattle would sound like shit lol but all cars are different so u'll halfto play with ur box to see what will sound best for you anyways good luck Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
