Posted March 23, 201015 yr my subs are going to be upfiring (towards roof), would it sound best to have the port facing the rear of car? or facing roof (same direction as subs)? Or does it even matter?This is going in a 2door jeep wrangler.Thanks
March 23, 201015 yr it all depends, but ive heard many systems with sub up and port back and they sound cherry, get loud, and put out decent numbers on the tl.
March 23, 201015 yr Author In a Wrangler port and woofer down yielded the best results for me.that's good news How much space was there between the sub and floor? If I had the port and subs face down than that means I could store stuff on top of my box (like my backpack)
March 23, 201015 yr Author I believe we left 4" of space, I can't remember exactly it was a few years ago.thanks Duran, this means I can still carry some stuff which is big deal to me Did the jeep you worked/tested on have the rear seats out?
March 24, 201015 yr how much power and what was the box tuned too prior to downfiring?Downfiring will probably lower tuning slightly but if the port is left too close to the floor with massive power output, it can cause turbulence and if on a meter, cause your peak to drop because turbulence drops with frequency.It's possible 4" may be too close but you should see what kind of power he was using first.
March 26, 201015 yr Author I'm planning on putting two sa-12's in. Is there a formula I can use to find the distance needed between the cone and floor of jeep? I'll be powering it with a sae-1200d (1200watts)
March 27, 201015 yr Subs up and port back usually yields the best output imo. I have done downfiring subs in extended cab pickups and they get nice and low as shizzon was stating.
March 27, 201015 yr Author the nice part about having them downfire if I go that route is then I can put my backpack on top of the box That's about all I need to carry
