Kicker Sub

RE: Kicker Sub
LOL .... maybe you're right, maybe not. I never made a square sub box, but I was about to before the Accord died ..... I wanted to use it in place of the rear armrest .... the square sub was more about fitment for me. As far as cutting the baffle, for the L5/L7, I'd line up hole saws against the template, punch them out and play connect the dots with the jig. On round sub boxes, I always wind up with a lot of filing and sanding that I wouldn't expect from the square cutout.

Lol I'm glad you didn't do that, if I remember correctly it takes about 5ft for a 60hz sound wave to form. That's why when you get close to sub you hear more air and cone movement than bass. 60hz is low bass, higher bass takes less distance to form.

Different people say differently, I say try it out. It does make a difference moving the sub around, I've found having them facing the rear and about 5" away from the trunk door is the best.

Yeah I have my sub all the way to the back. I even made the box tall, wide and shallow to take up as little space as possible. Never finished mounting my amps though, I have this idea but I'm a big time procrastinator lol.

I was going to mount my amp on something fancy... got lazy and screwed it onto the side of the box lol. Function over form right?

well seems like ive finally understood everything now....looks like im goin to focus more on SQ instead of SPL for the simple fact that SQ just sounds better....SPL may be louder but in comparison SQ wins overall because its just better on more levels...and SPL isnt too much louder than SQ am i right??...

SPL and SQL are just different ways of measuring sub performance.
A lot of people still get in my car and ask if I have subs, not because they're quiet, but because they sound good and support the music, not over power it.
