if u want a kickin sound system kicker makes the solobarics.....the 8" is actuall 10" if u made it round...it doesnt need a lot of room to beat at all...they would be great for the bin install too. IF u got one solobaric 10" and had no reason for use of the, hten buy one and make a huge ass ported box...they like 1.5 cu/ft but they like a lot of room which would be 6.0 which is the max...just make it somewhere in between....they beat hard!

Here is a solobaric L7.

I can attest to the sound quality of these. I have one 10" L7 just like the above (in a ported box) for my RX7. My brother introduced me to them after he had eight 10" L7s in his '94 sunbird. Just one is good enough for me. ;)

Just do what i want to do. 1 JL Audio 12 W6 with the 500/1 Amp...no need for more bass because it would be way to loud.

thanks iv hit 138Db with a conservative gain setting.

and as for sounding bad??? wtf I'm not at -6db till 41hz and for a sub with tendencies for a strong ported box this is good.
I'm going to make a new box when i get my titanium sub so that I take advantage of what the sub has to offer and it will be in the same place.

the only reason that rear facing sub's sound better it that it dissipates the sound of paper and/or composite cones warping. but with a 1/8" thick alum. cone i don't think i need to be afraid of that. also pointing your sub to the back of the car can make it quieter due to wave cancelation.
its all about the sub and box.

and for the solobaric they are not a bad sub BUT they are made more for SPL than SQ if you want it to sound the best get an eclipse or Infinity Kappa Perfect.

hey i know its sort of out there but...I'm selling my Rockford FOSGATE EPX-2 with BLT(Balance Line Transfer) and the Extremely Rare DSP(Digital Sound Processor) and 28 band eq with trillions of sound combinations. this sucker lets you tune the sound like they do at the audio shops for compettition. anyone interested?? its in hella good condition! email me at badboy@kuentos.guam.net i didnt get to use it on my vert because i decided to buy a house and get married...sooo gonna let the car stuff go. i got other stuff if anyone is interested.

I got two Bazookas 6" EL series bass tubes strapped down in my 90 GXL They put out enough bass for me. Also they dont take up much space in the hatch!

Not that it's that noticeable with the grill anyways, from up top it looks like part of the car, aside from the carpet colour

:eek: nice! that is exactly what i was thinking!

someone is waiting for thier shit to get stolen. im not one to steal shit, but hell, when you need a drink you need a drink, and knowing most drunks, they wouldnt think tweice about kickin a hole in your sub stumbleing over the hatch. :)

Found some old pics that should give you an idea of the size box you can fit in the trunk.. this was the box I had in the Rex a while back. I made a sealed 3/4" thick MDF with 1.5" thick front. The new box sounds so much better.. not sure if it fits in the FC though. The box in the pictures is a ported box, originally made for kicker subs but I replaced them with 11" Focal subs. It's prently of bass.

i just bought a kicker solo baric L7 and i was wondering will the sealed box for that sub be too big to fit in the hatch and will that be more bass than i can handle in a hatch?

nillahcaz 02-14-04 01:50 AM

what size?
if 12"
sealed = 2ft^3 50% filled with polyfil
ported = 2.5ft^3 + a 2.5x13.25" port 16.5" long or 3.25ft^2 with 3x13.25" port 14.5" long for lower responce

86GXL 02-14-04 03:46 AM

Go sealed about 1 cubic foot... Those subs were designed for small spaces

nillahcaz 02-14-04 11:24 AM

2cubic foot per sub in a seald box. I got my sizes from kicker.
