Box Placement?
|
Unregistered guest | hey guys I just stumbled onto the forum, soo many helpful posts, anyway, I am a first time subwoofer buyer and i just bought a 12 Kicker 2-ohm DVC round sub with a max 400 rms, and a kicker amp that puts out like 350/channel at 4 ohm, and a sealed cube box with 1.21 cubic feet, 2 questions here....1) will this sound pretty good in my 96 Camaro? and 2) where should I put this box, in the rear deck right behind the rear seat, facing up, facing to the side, facing back?, or should i put it in the rear well of the car and face it up, down, to the side??, any help would be greatly appreciated |

I preferably like the box against against the back end of the car like the magnets against the wall in the back and have the actual front of the sub facing the interior of the car. It looks really good too. Look at this "the rear well placement" that is what i'll be putting in mine when its ready. http://www.subthump.com/acamaro.htm BTW what you got under the hood ? lol |

I've had the problem of choosing which to listen to the music or the car, lol. 1 12 will sound good but a second will sound better of course. Its more up to you and your budget and your preference as to how loud it should be. Post some pics of your car if you got some (I am a very dedicated camaro fan if you can't tell by now, GM needs to bring them back) |

slinkchris Unregistered guest | facing rear, what if that means that there is like 3 inches of space between the sub face and the rear well wall, is that ok ha i dont have a freakin digital camera but i am getting one soon i think the car is all white, i have a moroso cold air induction, 1LE intake Elbow, TPIS air foil, new console out of a 99 Trans am, white gauges, dynomax 3 inch bullet muffler with axle dump, she has the lowest rumble i have ever heard out of an LT1, its so low that this guy at the local auto club asked if i had dropped in a larger motor, lol, if you want an amazing exhaust, dynomax only way to go, and only $40 per muffler |

slinkchris Unregistered guest | thats low, i get about 16 in town and about 26 on the highway, gotta love the overdrive, if im playing around with it i get anywhere from 6 to 12, so in my car, the mileage is all about the weight of my foot, you cant beat the power though, especially when the guys in the rice civics pull up with about 10k invested under the hood and they still cant get even close to me, but they do get 30+ mpg, its a tradeoff |
