ok but doesnt the bass come from the bak of the box. i know it does in mine. its wierd like that.

plus is it safe to obstruct the speakers like that with the seat. doesnt that braak them faster.

just some info i would like to know.

i got a prob with my set up. damn subs keep sliding bak and it rips the wires out of the terminal, it pisses me off.

didnt happin b4 i put the exhaste on but i dont think it has anything to do with that. its not like i gained that much HP and Torque it each weights like 20 lbs.

just my 2 cents.

1.)not that i'm aware of....is your box facing the rear of your car(speakers pointed away from the seats) or ported?

2.) the longer a sound wave can travel, the louder and clearer it is. that is why i loose alot of db....because the seat restricts the length of the waves coming out of the speaker. so right now i have to drive with my seats down to hear optimum clarity...however i don't want this to become a normal thing...but because the back of my seats are steel plates and really dampen the amount of sound and quality of my subs, this is what i have to do in order to enjoy them...i'm working w/ a friend of mine and we came up w/ an idea but haven't done it yet...maybe this weekend...

but to answer your question honestly about damaging the subs...i don't think so but i can see why you would think that it would...so now i'm wondering? this was the same setup i used in my other car a few years ago (same subs and amp) and they worked great...so that is why i pointed them towards the seats again....but i'm not sure i'm happy w/ the sound i'm getting.....it varies depending on the type of music....rock and dance sound good because of the punchy or tighter bass. but w/ hip hop, rap and such, it does alright, i can't turn it up as loud b4 i hear distortion in the lows..

any suggestions...not enough power??? because they are 8's???? am i missing something???? the box is as tight as a "virgin in 8th grade" eek ...so i don't think it is an air seepage problem.

anyways i hope my bable was a little informative... confused confused

later.. [B][/B]
