prasamin Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Well there ya go, SPACE, And the amp is located? yeah, under the panel would be nice....but remember most amps are pretty flat...i've got mine mounted against the back seat, and it doesn't get in the way at all, and has some space to breathe.... it's the sub and enclosure that get in the way.... long ago i had a 12" sub and enclosure in my spare tire well and it protruded just enough that I had cut a circular opening in the floor panels and put a hard grill over it....i had all of my trunk space.....however, I didnt have a spare tire....and I never felt comfortable driving around without one....which is why when i was changing subs, i went with the trunk enclosure and put my spare back in the well!!!! now my issue is that the car is so low that the volvo jack doesn't get under it, and so i have to carry around a hydraulic racing jack....that takes up space in the trunk and clanks around lol.....

LOL, that is funny... Here's my before: Too much crap. But it's all nicley wedged and tight. Then I decide to remove the box put a smaller one in and the air tank that was nice and tucked flies out of home position and ends up right in the middle. Of course clanking around sound. As I am still laughing from your jack comment above. I need to velcro stuff in place. slightly blurry The cabin amp is located on the left rear fold down seat behing the smal box. Eaiser to tune there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasamin Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yeah, I think i need to make a small compartment that tightly holds the jack and handle in place, or maybe raise the floor a bit and all that junk in the trunk isn't very safe flying around loose in there lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply Volvo Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Please do tell us about the effect of the pvc pipe, i am very curious. Does it move a lot of air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5cyl Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 the pvc is the port. most of the time a port in internal so you dont see it, but the space requirements made it nessicary to put it out side the box. ported boxes are more efficient than sealed boxes because they take advantage of the sound waves from the woofer moving backwards as well as froward.

Simply Volvo Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hm interesting. I always wanted to try out a ported box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad850 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Sealed is so much better in my opinion. Nothing beats a sub that can play extremely low frequency while still being tight and accurate. Sealed is also easier on the woofer. Not saying you can't have a good sounding ported setup though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
