Enclosure Position question
I have my ported box, everyone who's heard it thinks i have twelves
but i was wanting to know if the box's position in the trunk could make it louder or lower. Like having the enclosure closest to the seat or having the enclosure really close to the trunk of the car, or could that damage my speakers someway? What can i do to make the inside louder? |

You could, in fact, reap some benefit by corner-loading the subwoofer(s); some cars actually sound better with the subs facing rearward. Just play around with it and see for yourself--every install is different. The only thing you want to keep in mind is to keep at least one, preferably two port diameters away from any wall...so if you have two 4" dia. ports, make sure that the nearest obstruction in front of the port is no closer than 4" away, otherwise you'll shift the tuning of your enclosure which may lead to an undesireable tuning. What can i do to make the inside louder? More power and/or more speakers is a sure-fire way to make it louder. -dan |

This is true: My Accord hatchback gets way more bass with the single 10" JL sub parked in a back corner than it does with the sub, say, right behind the driver's seat.

There's only so much mathematics and theory can tell you - there's a certain degree of voodoo involved with good-sounding audio, that can only be discovered through trial and error. But that's half the fun |
