thepolicerhere Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) ill break it down sub port back = sounds good with the least effort sub port forward = sounds like crap unless its sealed off right then its the superior of configs sub port up and sub up port back = your trunk gettin ripped to shreds, breaking the locking mechanisms, and any sensors for it will go to crap lol Wwhat if i have a sealed box? im guessing its just better to face them to the trunk right? I put mine forward and couldn't be happier. No trunk rattle. A lot more impact. Now I just need to fix the cracks in the trunk lid. http://m.youtube.com/profile?gl=CA&client=mv-google&hl=en&user=StreamlineAudioVanc Edited November 23, 2010 by thepolicerhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Darkjustice Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) i dont agree with number two there i had my box facing forward for a long time. it did not sound like crap. it was a fair amount quieter but it was no where near as peaky as it is facing in the trunk. personal preference i guess thats because most of the sound waves and pressure escape to the back of the box where you obviously wont get to enjoy them. i guess i couldve said the response is crappy and well as overall loudness Wwhat if i have a sealed box? im guessing its just better to face them to the trunk right? type of box wont matter but if you want to face it forward it has to be sealed or youre wastin pressure and sound Edited November 24, 2010 by Mr. Darkjustice Quote Fusion With A Stetsom 4k2d on 2 DC XL 15s tuned to 31hz and Subs and ports forward The Revolution Was Not Televised But There Is This Thread(clicky) Dr Merkenstein is my 360 gamertag and my profession.

fecupe2001 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I do think it really depends on the car, a friend´s hyundai accent i build with subs/port forward sealed from the trunk sounded good but no as loud as it was before facing the trunk, teared that thing apart, turned around the box and yes, it was way louder facing the trunk than facing forward sealed. Also, another friend with a nissan sentra B-15 has a DD 3515 and a M2, well, sub/port forward without sealing the trunk it´s loud as hell, much more than facing the rear, so i do think every car and system is different Quote I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.

Robert8252 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I had that problem. Seemed louder to the back then sealed forward. Made a new box with a lot more port. Sealed it forward. I will never go back to a rear facing box.

Playa Named Joe Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I had my 15 sub up and port back, and it was awesome but lacked a little on the low lows. I switch my box around so port was forward and sub still up, and it is louder on everything and low lows are insane compared to before. This doesn't really apply to your situation, I guess. But it would sound best sub and port forward sealed off. Quote 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
