Luckily, if porting out the side is best, i can just roll the box over :)

If it's a show car, and not all out SPL then i'd say ports up sub back. I mean..it's hard to make an SPL install look as pretty as a normal daily or SQ install. Subs are rarely ever centered and you have to fire them whatever way works best. In some installs.. side firing the ports work best as well..something else to consider.

Well if it wasnt already made and all I would say try to go sorta like a JL HO box.

Simply put: slot port to the front and add a baffle board.

I got a few ideas on how to do this and maybe improve/differentiate the design so its not a direct patent copy...

Already said I don't have the width to have the port of the same face as the sub. I'm probably going to do sub back port up.

alright well if you have the width id go port back sub back and if not port up and sub back.

Already made, it's wood.

what are you going to make the box out of wood or fiberglass?

by Justin from Detroit1 » Mon Jan 30, 2006 8:05 am

Keep in mind, this is also a show car. Not sure how bad I want people to look in my open hatch and not see subs, ya know? Also, when i had just a sealed enclosure in there, they were louder with the subs facing the hatch then with the subs facing the roof. Of course, that was a sealed box.

i would do it crx style up with ports back but you can always rotate the box to go the other way to test it.
