Good or Bad Idea?

Post by CaptainPioneer »

Ok is it a bad idea to have one sub firing up and the other firring toward the front of the cab? both would be in the same place as well...
One would be behind firing toward the front and the other would be placed on the bottom firing up


kinda like this

90 degrees out of phase isn't a problem 99% of the time.
what you don't want is wave cancellation, which happens when the output of two speakers is 180 degrees out of phase, and they sync up and cancel each other. Think of two subs facing each other, or two the same direction, with one wired backward.

Why do you think that 2 subs aimed at each other are going to be out of phase with each other, assuming the typical size of a vehicle?

Captain Pioneer-
That setup will be fine. It's very hard to predict particle density (sound wave reinforcement) in a car without playing with the subs directions.
