Im Not As Loud Anymore....Why?


Recommended Posts

So yesterday i ripped out my back seat and turned the box around (sub forward port foward now) and now i cant really play anything under 40hz well. before i used to be able to get good response down to 35hz but now its so weak...i cant figure out why. anyone help?

btw its not sealed off. but it IS loud with the door open (louder than before) but alot quieter with windows down

you had a loading wall before, now it takes the waves alot longer before it hits a wall..

i had non-folding rear seats and subs and port back. now theres no rear seats and subs and port facing front. damn...

without sealing it from the trunk the waves and pressure still travel behind the box to the trunk lid, so instead of it all goin in one direction its goin behind it too

it will be MUCH easier for me to seal off the trunk rather than rip everything out again and rewire everything. so if i can do that and end up with better results then i will absolutely do that.

sealing it forward will make a different sound than sub port back, to me and some others we LOVE it. but yes sealing it compared to how it is now is a world of difference in sound

I just got finished sealing my XL off from the trunk. It loves 30-40hz but I really don't have a lot of response 41hz and up barely at all honestly. I like it sealed forward but I think to get great performance from it you need quite a bit if power to do it. I'm running a audiopipe 1500 on it and it's just not doing it and I'm looking into a sundown 3000 now. If it sounded better to you how it was I'd do that again. Sealing it off is a kind o permanent thing and do you not plan to put your seats back in? Because if you do that will not benefit doing it.
