Posted January 29, 201411 yr My current box is 36"x16"x28" tuned @30 for 2 icon 12's.slot port.My question is would I benefit from building a new box with the port centered between the subs and fire the port thru the rear arm rest.Back seats don't don't drop down.98 pontiac gtp.
January 29, 201411 yr Author is it sub back port back?which ever would work best,I was gonna have subs facing back seats an port firing thru armrest
January 29, 201411 yr you could try that, and see how it sounds, but perhaps your subs facing the backseat and being closer to the front of the trunk will rattle the rear deck more
January 29, 201411 yr Author I just don't wanna spend $200+ on a box and it not benefit me any.As for the rear deck I'm already about rip that noisy sob out lol.
January 29, 201411 yr I would say sub back port back would be the best sounding option in your case. Unless you want to look into a 4th order ported through rear deck.

January 29, 201411 yr less noise is more bass i've great stuffed my trunk lid and rear deck as well lol.
January 29, 201411 yr Author less noise is more bass i've great stuffed my trunk lid and rear deck as well lol.lol,hmmm didn't think to try it in the rear deck
January 29, 201411 yr Author I've also been thinking about this box being more for numbers if that changes anything
January 29, 201411 yr Author i run my subs IB (infinite baffle) so its mainly for plugging holes.I know that stuff is sticky as hell
January 29, 201411 yr I know in my first car they had to be firing into the rear or firing forward pushed all the way to the back for it to sound right/ be the loudest. Any other way sounded weird as if it wasn't loading correctly. A 4 bp may work like q said. Just depending on how much trunk space you're willing to give up I know theyre pretty small.
January 29, 201411 yr Author The demensions I posted in the in the first quote is the absolute biggest that can go in my car,anything bigger will have to be built in the trunk.I'm wanting to to tune around cabin gain which is 40ish I don't know the exact sweet spot.while I was searching google I found one guy on SMD said. His 98 gtp peak at 44hzI know the Icons aren't really spl but I feel there's more numbers to be had.this box will only be used when I decide to compete Edited January 29, 201411 yr by garychurch84
January 29, 201411 yr this box will only be used when I decide to competeIf you are planning a comp "Burp" or 30 sec SPL enclosure I'd suggest tuning WAY higher than 44 htz ...
January 29, 201411 yr Author this box will only be used when I decide to competeIf you are planning a comp "Burp" or 30 sec SPL enclosure I'd suggest tuning WAY higher than 44 htz ...tbh I think I just wanna be a bit louder than my current setup I may only compete a few times a year.I want to get a good bit of exp before I get that deep in

I want to get a good bit of exp before I get that deep inYou could possibly tune to 57 htz and still get considerably good amout of low end bass ... depending on enclosure build and euuipment being used ... I'm just suggesting because I always see lower tuned "Cars" get their asses handed to them ... They "sound" good and get loud ... but none of that matters to a SPL meter, which is the ONLY thing that counts in SPL competition ..
January 29, 201411 yr Author Or just have 2 ports, one for SPL and one to sound good...that's not a bad idea
January 29, 201411 yr Author This what I started out talking about.Would benefit any from firing my port thru here?
January 29, 201411 yr Author I think it was a 4th order like mentioned earlier,I think there was pic give me a sec Edited January 29, 201411 yr by garychurch84
