Sub Box Volume?
Im redoing the look of my trunk. Was thinkin about taking the spare out and
using the spare compartment to house my sub now for the question, if the box is the shape of the compartment, but shallow, instead of being 1'x1'x1' to make it 1 cu ft, if the dimensions of the box are still 1 cu ft, but not the shape of a box is there going to be a huge impact on sound, or would it be good being that its still 1 cu ft? thx |

No, as long as the volume is the same it will be ok. Shape won't make
much difference. |

i was thinking about putting the spare on the back of the rear seats, so it
will be hidden by the 2 10" subs i wanna put there. this way it would be easier to get to than it is now, if i get a flat now i have to take my box out which is a royal pain thx "MZ" wrote in message ...

Or just do like some of the car manufacturers are doing now, only running
run-flat tires... $$$ "mark" wrote in message ... i was thinking about putting the spare on the back of the rear seats, so it will be hidden by the 2 10" subs i wanna put there. this way it would be easier to get to than it is now, if i get a flat now i have to take my box out which is a royal pain thx "MZ" wrote in message ...

I disagree, I think shape does have an effect on sound.
A angled box sounds better than square box. The narrow truck boxes do not sound as good as deeper boxes. -- The Clown Prince of Car Stereo wrote in message oups.com... No, as long as the volume is the same it will be ok. Shape won't make much difference. |

Thats because most of those boxes do not have enough volume. Two dif
shaped boxes with the exact volume and same building materials will sound nearly identical. |

So you're saying that different enclosure depths/shapes of inches in a vehicle will sound different producing ~20ft wavelengths? I tend to concur when its mid and higher frequencies in a larger and more discerning environment, but even that is up to debate. -- Cyrus *coughcasaucedoprodigynetcough* |

What are you going to do if you get a flat tire? They ONLY make low profile run-flat tires ... and yes they are expensive. An example would be Goodyear's Eagle F1 GS-EMT which retail for something in the area of US$500 a tire. -- Dan Snooks |
