The new SHO setup!

[SteedaSVT]

you lost me with the one side of the sub to the other?

yes if you where to plot the length of a say 30hz sine wave its around 25ish feet long. but that doesn't really mean alot. I have seen and expirenced what you are talking about many times. In a Taurus its hard to achieve the sould you can in other cars firing forward would help as would sealing off the trunk too. but unless your competing its kinda pointless. the most cost effective setup to date per volume is the one i have now.

Sub 150 bucks, amp 300 and its seriously LOUD!!!!! sub is firing up into the trunk lid via the spare tire well..

I was always told that when installing subs in the trunk that you want the front of the sub or the rear completely separated from each other as much as possible because of cancellation. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. Maybe I'm thinking of free air subs. So I am saying that if the subs are facing forward and you can keep the waves coming off the rear of the speaker separated and in the trunk and let the waves coming off the front into the interior, there will be less cancellation overall.

Where is the mic placed when you hit 150+ db? In the center of the interior?

I believe you when you say it's loud, but I still find it hard to believe that a sub in the spare tirewell firing straight up would be as loud as it could be, or that the quality is very good in the interior. To me, that's like someone screaming their head off and you put them in the trunk and shut it. They will be muted to the interior, but if they stick their head up through the rear deck and scream, it will be much louder and sound quality won't be damped by all the trunk materials, not to mention all the cancellation that is going on by all the sound waves bouncing all over the place.

I hit 150 with the mic in the passanger floor well.. I think your looking way way to much into it.


you seem to be reading way way to much into it. im slightly drunk right now so ill get back to this at a later time. like a week and a half when i come back from vegas

Ok a few things.. Sub bass freq's are totally diff from someone in the trunk screaming. It take alot to stop them from traveling. back forward if the install is correct it won't matter except for the clarity factor. Firing off the rear of the truck should net a 3db gain. but as i stated earlier the taurus is a strange vehicle.
As far as the waves cancelling they would have to be extremly out of phase IE 180 degrees or soo, so it would have to about 15ft out then back to be that far out of phase at whatever respective Freq. obviously the higher the freq the shorter the wave length.

And no it doesn't have to be sealed off unless its a IB setup.
