Hatchback...


Recommended Posts

So, I am (/we are) about to start a build in a honda civic eg3.

our biggest question is, where to face woofers/port?

seems like noone build systems in small cars like ours.

my idea was sub up port up, but i am open for like anything, as long as its loud ;)

greetz

edit: oops, forgot to mention: backseats have to stay in their place!

@loudRE, that looks awesome. Me=Jealous

Slight thread jack.

I think in a trunk car, subs back port back will be louder and play lower because the trunk acts as an extension of the port and the trunk lid provides something to load off of. Does the same hold true in a hatch when facing subs and port up?

You may be offended by the above. Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive.

i dont know much about hatches, or anything for that matter. but all i know is that everytime i see subs in a hatchback they and the port face towards the glass, so im assuming this is the best setup for them.

btw what years your civic?

i believe that some hatches act as a horn when loaded off the back glass some cases.
