My 16 yr old daughter bought an Insignia IS-PCSS101-Two
12" 8 Ohm speakers and amp, 200 Watts into 4 ohms. This
is a subwoofer system. Dad's job- Get the most thump
from what she's got. I will build a cabinet for the
trunk.
I tried putting subs in the trunk, once. I was not
pleased with the coloration that resulted from shooting
the sound through the back seats.
That's often a pretty effective low-pass filter.

One friend of mine cut out the back of the well the rear arm rest folded
into. You just popped it down for critical listening. ;-)

If one has speakers in the rear deck area (between the seats and back
window) with the rear of the cones exposed, there's a possibility of
serious modulation of those cones by the pressure waves from the subs.


Hadn't thought of that... Maybe that was the problem, but I don't
think so... The bass sounded like sound that's been run-through a
cushion. 8)

Well, it was....

Different problem.
