2nd gen subwoofer placement
 

after spending hours reading the threads that i got when i searched, I'll buy off on the best place to put a sub is at the back of the car in the spare tire well.

anybody got pics? or specs?

found tons of pics of subs in the bins, but that is where i keep the trunk monkey

repost, but wtf

If you want to put a sub at the back, your best bet is to make a custom box. Here are some of the boxes of other members and the one I'm making. But beware that you will add a lot of weight at the rear of your car.

Nom mine, but it is way too big; so I have to fill the gap, and it's getting quite heavy.

Mine is simple and effective.

Dude, how is that speaker still working? That Kicker is from the early 90's!!

mine works great, plus when you flip the back carpet up
no one will ever know that you have a sub in your car,
and besides i really don't trust my 18yr old spare tire that
used to be sitting back there

I still have a pair of 10'' Orions that thrash "Orion the Hot Setup"

I planned on doing something very similar to the first 3 pics but in a not so fancy way and using 8's instead. I know, who the heck uses 8's anymore. I'm not into bass like I used to be, but I still want to feel a little. My 5 1/4 components just aren't doing it for me.

On the contrary we saw a guy last year come in with 4 8's and blew a 148.3dB. As for normal listening your right, shes not going to reach as low unleess you tune her that way. The box makes the driver not the other way around. :)

Wow, what kinda 8's and what type of enclosure was he using?

i dunno about that guy, but i was planning on using some RF 8's each rated at 200watts RMS.
