Posted October 25, 20186 yr Currently designing a Subwoofer Enclosure for an L7 15 for a 2001 Lincoln Towncar. I am planning to build the enclosure so it would is on the rear ledge in the trunk .. my question is is it bad for partial surface of the cone to only be 4 inches away from a wall of the enclosure? The enclosure will still maintain volume required
October 26, 20186 yr Author Would this cause the sub to suffocate because the wall is too close? And would this also cause distortion?
October 26, 20186 yr It is not ideal, but also not that big of a deal. The acoustic resonance of the 4" space is not in the frequencies you will be playing your sub at.

October 26, 20186 yr You lose the space in the trunk where the drivers are if inverted, so why not use that space for the enclosure, mount the drivers properly and gain some security while you're at it?

I’m just building the enclosure to customers request. I recommend building the enclosure as you said, but the constomer does not want a a bulky box and also wants the space underneath for things like camping chairs etc..
