all subs have a base wave, make sure to ask how long your subs base wave is and try to alow for it with the placement of your box. i've done some custome boxes, and setup's that absolutly sounded like shit, and had to spend a lot of time figureing out why becasue of my lack of understanding of this. if you run into the problem of the wave being longer then your hatch to your seat (most 10-12 are around 10-13feet) try positioning your sub at an agle directionly porportal to the reflex, or reflection to give the wave a longer length. ie, more twords the rear seat, faceing the rear hatch window at a 25-35 degree sland, so it can reflect off the hatch glass to your front seats.

if you have any questions about installing, or fabrication, just ask, were all here to help.
ps. every manufacture of subs, have sheet for custom boxes to help you with air displacement in large or tight areas to give better responce to their unique frequency. what are you planning on using?

hey do you think you can make me a box for my 12 audiobahn?

[scottsee]

whats the model # for your audiobahn's.

(edit) here, you can do it.

heres a pic of mine...its a work in progress......amp is mounted on the back of the back seat and the neon is mounted under the cargo cover thing

[george536]

that takes up too much space. what would you do if you need to take a box somewere?

I'm in the process of making something so the box doesn't slide around so much and maybe put the box at a tilt. There's actually more room than you can see. I just have to push the box back a little. The sound is amazing. They sound like 12s.

no not that it needs air , it needs space bounce off the wall harder there for creating more bass

what are the dimensions of the spare tire well?

is it really big enough for a 12?

[bighauns]

You can always invert the 12 in the rear tire well. That is what I am gonna do. I am getting a Xtant 1244 (i think) and inverting it.

[DreDay1984]

im going to be putting 2 rockford 12"s molded coming out the tire well

[scottsee]

i hit 145db on 2 sealed rockford dvc 12's 5 years @ 2ohm load, with $700 of equipment. them were some good speakers.

my next system, im going to go out on a limb and try some of these newer brands amps (profile, viosonic, fusion). a friend of mine who is a certified dealer for all the audio product lines gave me a new fusion 12 for helping him out. its been in my garage for 3 months sitting ontop of one of my old bandpass boxes, its only 400w rms but i think it will do what i need. just depends on how i box it. stereos are exactly like tunning a car. its all about fine tunning the little things, making them all work together.

heres mine...updated..beacause yes it took up too much space....still a work in progress






ok so i cant get the pic to work....go to the link in my sig and scroll down towards the bottom....its the pic with the tv in it

actually the way u have them is better, the more back pressure the better. have u ever noticed the sound when the trunk is open there not as loud cuz there is no pressure. no pressure = shitty sound and eventually blown speakers.

who the hell to you that they do sound better face upward I have won to comptetion with my sound a they are face upward.

I have:
2 12" Kove Armegedons
1 Orion 2500 watt amp
1 Orion 1000 watt sub amp
6 pioneer 4 way 6 x 9's
1 pioneer 8500 series Cd player
2 Pyle 5" tv's in the headrest
and the box for the subs is custom fitted around the whole trunk with
2 optima battery's underneath

Man, it depends on a lot of stuff. It depends if they are sealed, ported...how many ports there are. If the seats are up or down and if the cargo cover is on or not. When it comes to audio there is so many variables that 99% of people are oblivious to.

Acce23--> you are probably destroying your alternator, unless you have one and didnt mention it. Just because you won a competition means nothing. I have won tonnes of competitions with a POS system, but just because I have the right supporting things to go with it. I have taken some 25 dollars pioneer IMPP specials and turned them into a kick ass system.

Don't cut down people unless you know 100% what you are talking about. He was just saying from his experience what has worked for him.

I am done now, before I go off on a huge rampage.

and grammar and punctuation are your friend. It makes everything easy to read instead of jumbled together.

just finished it today ... Also has 2 120mm fans to keep the amp cool. Fans have blue lcds that make the amp light up at night and glow through the eclipse emblem.
