Eh, should sound pretty good. Jw, if you're going to throw money at a car, why only one 12 and not two in dual channel?


believe me when i say, we have taken into consideration a lot of aspects, a lot of thinking has been involved on what to use and how to do it, we tested and tested and came up with that enclosure, we also considered the fact that car its a convertible so it cant be used for a db drag or for SPL competitions right?.. well SPL metter says that we might be wrong on this one.
But to answer your question there is no way you can fit 2 subwoofers in there without having to take the backseats out, simply because there is not enough air space on the trunk to make the enclosure to satisfy sub's specs.
not only that if we were to put 2 we would be on a higher class if we ever entered any contest or comptetition
i dont know though what you mean by "dual channel"??

Well, you for those subs, you need what, 1.5 cubic per sub? I got a sealed 2.4 cubic box in my trunk with an amp on it, and have spare space for a sports bag.

By dual channel i pretty much meant stereo. Say there's a song with a fast bassline, you would have one sub run one frequency while the other runs another, that way it doesn't get too muddy sounding.

.8 but 46" port lenght, actually take a look again at the pictures, see how tight it is, that because there is no room at all on the trunk.
you ussually want to run your subs on a mono signal, stereo doesnt work like that i guess you can set one channel at a higher frequency rate than the other IF the amp its capable of that, but still what happens when frequencies drop too much or they go higher, you will end up distorting the shit out of one sub, if you dont want muddy, get a sub with a good frequency responce and always run mono signal on subs.

Lol I think I wish I had your resources ;P. I like the idea of the box I havent seen that before but it deffinately allows a bit more flow than a standard ported box. How many waats you running to it? And what Ohm? Preamp output on the deck? I like the set up tongue.gif. I would never drive a convertible tho lmao smile.gif.

Not nescessarily. Think of it as having two setups playing the same song at the exact same time, with the work set up between two subs.

Give it a little thought, this cant be done like you are saying. it would mess up the sound waves and it would be like having a big ass midrange speaker, also to be able to do this you would have to tune each box to different frequencies, and have a really good amplifier or separate amplifiers for each speaker. Have you wondered how come some high end radios only have 1 RCA wire coming out for the non fader output?.

Yeah, true. But, I did head a setup with two subs moving independently and it sounded fucking immense.
