bob dole Unregistered guest | I have a 91 toyota pickup and i want to add some bass to my system, but i don't want to lose and passenger seating. I'v read about people putting sub enclosures in the storage wells under the rear seats; usually, it's only a 10" in the driver side, but i'v read some people's claim of putting 2 10's in wells. My question is can you just seal off all holes in the metal well, or would you have to fiberglass or build an enclosure to fit in there? If anyone has actually done what i'm talking about and/or has built an enclosure and has the blue prints please post. If anyone could build me a custom enclosure i'd be interested in an estimated cost. thanx |
bob dole Unregistered guest | Also, whats with the clear windows in boxes? are they just for looks ar is it a type of port? heres an example http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxes.asp |

bob dole Unregistered guest | so there not a type or port or passive radiator? weak, i was thinking maybe of doing somehting like this.... http://www.diysubwoofers.org/prd/ But i guess i'll have to go with a simple sealed enclosure.... |
bob dole Unregistered guest | Anyway, back to my original question, can i just seal off the metal wells under the seats with foam? Or would it be wise to fiberglass it??? |

Light metal like tin will flex and you will loss SPL and it might cause a pretty annoying noise. If you go with a wooden box you may have to sound proof the metal, foam should work in this situation. |
