SnowDrifter Posted November 7, 2010 Report Posted November 7, 2010 As the title suggests... Do I need to use the stud for additional bracing on the AA SMD if I do horizontal (forward facing) mounting? Can I get by without it by just using bigger / longer screws and a thicker front baffle? ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444

Now imagine you holding the sub same way, but you're resting the stud on a surface. What's easier? As long as the baffle can hold it, and you use some beefy screws it should be fine. My lvl 5 is mounted horizontal and it's doin fine. I think trippi has all 6 of his just being held by screws iirc. 2006 Nissan Z Track. My Feedback Thread i used to think a band pass was something you were around your neck or something.
jeyrapboy Posted November 7, 2010 Report Posted November 7, 2010 ^^^^ Well his are mounted subs up so that is vertical not horizontal.

Adding a brace to bolt in the stud adds another level complexity that I would rather not deal with ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444

siccostyle Posted November 7, 2010 Report Posted November 7, 2010 Vertical is up and down, horizontal is side to side. wall = horizontal. Trippi has a wall. That would be horizontal and he is not using regular screws he is using a heavy duty 3" lag screws/bolt (look up Trippis hummer in the members build section) Edit= what is in Trippis hummer 01 2dr ExploderBuild log2 18" DC Level 6's (M3's)DC 10k5 XS d3100's, DC 390 alt100' shok ofc cable Team ShokTEAM SUB SONIC ADDICTION
