can someone explain to me why you would point your sub box facing out the back instead of towards the passenger compartment?

Well, most people face the subs towards the rear for a several reasons. The most popular reason is since Low Freq. Bass (Which is what is coming out of the subwoofer) Has very long wave lengths, if your looking for low notes its best to have the sub as far away from the cab, within reason. At least that is what I have heard. I understand that there is sorta a sweet spot in every car.

It does depend on what type of bass your looking for and what type of music you listen too.

Me personally, I was going for SQ so I faced my subs forward. This tightens the bass up, but at the same time restricts the bass.

I have yet to try my subs towards the rear, I might do that in the near future just to see what it sounds like. My only complaint with the sub facing the front is they tend to vibrate the seats and the rear deck. I just bought some dynamat to solve this problem, hopefully! smile

I don't claim to be an expert on Car Audio, but I figured I might be able to help. PPL Please correct me if I am telling lies. laugh

Later,
Justin

OK, well that didn't work right. Here's another try.

148.7 at the most recent db drag event. I am putting in twice the power at least to the subs so that should jump up another 3 db or so.





ok! Will post more pics when finished.

I have some really high quality pics of my car with a very nice stereo system, including tv's in the head rest. But there is only one problem I am a little dumb when it comes to computers and do not know how to post them. If someone could be real nice and explain to me how, or let me email them the pics and them upload them I would appreciate it. Oh yeah, my contour got stolen september 1st and It was found burned and stripped. I'm sad. I have pics of the after afect of the fire too. So you all can see before and after pics. thanks

This a great breakdown of how to use UBB(Ultimate Bulletin Board) Code.
http://www.contour.org/cgi-ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=ubb_code_page

To post pics, more specifically:
1. The picture must be linked from a website it can't come straight from your harddrive and can't be upload onto the contour.org server.

2. When you have the link to the pic copy it and paste it into your post. 'http://www.pictures.com/pic1.jpg'

3. Add the UBB code to make the image visable. For the above link add {img}{/img} around the link. Replacing {} with [].

4. You'll end up with this in your post: '{img}http://www.pictures.com/pic1.jpg{/img}' And the post will be seen as a picture. Replace the {} with [].
