New member Username: Kc83Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-07 | i have three 12" JL w6v2 subs and a JL 1000/1 amp and i'd like to put the 3 subs on rear deck on my car. they would be "open air" but i would have all the air spaces from the inside of the car to the trunk sealed. so basically the trunk will be the box. it will be in a 01 ford crown victoria so it has a huge trunk. my question is: will this work? i've been told that unless the subs are in a box (sealed or ported) that is built to the exact specs needed for the subs then they will not sound good at all. |

New member Username: Kc83Post Number: 4 Registered: Oct-07 | this is an example of the why the wall wont work: [img]http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/490522/fullsize/p1020364.jpg[/img] see the slits on the right and left of the amp... the trunk lid arms tuck into there. zoomed out view: [img]http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/490526/fullsize/p1020372.jpg[/img] |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 6939 Registered: Jun-04 | you can do it free air but it usually cuts the power handling to about half and the spl output will probably be alot less....can you build a box around the bars and mount the subs where you wanted to |

New member Username: Kc83Post Number: 5 Registered: Oct-07 | yes and no. it would cost a more than i'm willing to invest but it can be done. if that is the case i'd just leave it how i had it in my 2000. i had a neighbor with a lexus gs that had 3 diamond audio subs on his back deck and were open air and were incredibly loud. maybe his were just made for that. |
