HBD!

My trouble is getting an enclosure to give me more output down lower. Tried a few enclosures that sound great in other vehicles but not so much in mine. Trunks pretty small.

Could the box be coming apart? Maybe a loose piece of wood slapping around? Maybe wires inside the box moving around? Check all that stuff first

Should look over all your wiring. If your blowing fuses that's the first place I would look.

Should probably build one then see how 200 shipped sounds.

The details are amazing. While I'm sitting here hating my Malibu I can't help but think of how yours will end up. Great work man.

I'm sure the xcon ported wouldn't disappoint

This video is a score for the car audio world. Can you imagine how many people now want bass after seeing this?

Sometimes people just post what's on their minds. Maybe he wants to see if people agree with his decision? I donno. It's not annoying to me. Kyle, take your negative ass post somewhere else. Not every post has to have pics or technical info.

Seen that a few times already. Showed a few friends who now want louder systems. Seems kinda fake to me but not worth an argument. I like to believe its real lol.

Amp maybe, Rcas I hope not. Brand new knu karma rcas. I have a bnib crescendo bc2000 in the garage. Maybe I should slap it in. My sundown is old and kinda beat on.

It's loud. Sounds normal. Actually kinda clean sounding to me. But I would like it to excel in the lower frequencies. The fact that I throw my box in my friends car and it sounds so much better makes me want more from my gear in my vehicle

Trunk wall is basically forward firing sealed off from the trunk?

Box is about as big as I can go with it and still get it in there. I thought it may have been the remaining trunk space after the box was in there was my problem. When the box is in its a tight fit all around. Passage space for air to travel to the front of the car is very little. I threw a single 12 enclosure in there and had the same problem.

Little bit above my skill level but still a feasible task. Was hoping for a easy fix "tune lower or more port" lol. But I get what your saying. Guess I can kick this around till payday and see what I decide on. Any other ideas or suggestions please post. I'm trying to make this adjustment on a slight budget but really eager to get the sound I want from it. Thanks again Quentin!

Not to badly priced! I expected $500+. I assume I need both items? Microphone and software? Ill kick this idea around. Also would need to find a box designer who could properly account for my findings. I have the 80prs as a head unit. I haven't played with the EQ all that much. That's where I'll start. Should I invest in a separate EQ to help or is the one in the head unit adequate? Thanks for your help so far guys. Very much appreciated!

Don't have money for an RTA or access to one that I know of. Lets say I did how would I translate that info into my enclosure? Maybe the meter shows that I'm lacking in the 30-50 range? Then what do I do with that information?

What do I need to use for this?

Shogen, I tried forward firing but I did not seal it off. As it sat it was a tight fit. Maybe a few inches on each side. I didn't care for the sound, I felt that I lost my low end pointing the box that direction. I should have used some blankets or something but I didn't. Pain in the ass to remount all the amps again and turn it around if its not going to do what I want. I strongly feel its my box and a certain spec needs to be adjusted weather it's changing the tuning freq or adding or removing port area? I don't know.

Yes, it is my box. How do I fix it? Lol

I've looked at the malibu forum in the past. Not really too audio specific. There thoughts of a nice sounding system isn't mine. Think maliboom is there but he does walls as far as I know. I'll check it out again. I guess this this topic could apply to all trunk cars. How do we work with cabin gain? Obviously for my application building a box to speaker specs isn't helping me. I need to build a box specific to the car AND speaker.

Lol thanks. I kinda thought something like that also but don't have time to build a ton of boxes and test that way. Was hoping someone has dealt with something similar and can point me in the right direction.

No I have not. I can't be 100% sure my boxes are tuned in the low 30's like I've been told. Had 1 built by Rick other designed by bromo. Do you think tuning lower may help? Money isn't as good as it used to be for me. I surely can get a sheet of wood but I would like to have a better idea of what I need so I can give that info to whoever I have design it
