I was sitting here planning out my system so I can start working on it piece by piece, and just when I thought I was done........I want something different than anything I've had in the past as far as my sub setup goes. Specifically, when I pop the trunk, I want to be able to see the basket/magnet of the sub instead of the cone. I've had bandpass boxes/sealed boxes/ported boxes, and in every one, the sub was installed normally with the cone visible. I have figured that I'm gonna keep the box I currently have, it's a nice box, it's ported, perfect size, but can I simply invert the subs and be good to go? Is there any reason that's not such a good idea as far as SQ or bass response go? Cause if I can do that, I'll just anchor the box to the trunk floor and then build a false wall so when you open the trunk all you see is the back of the subs sticking out of the false wall.

 

The only difference with inverting the subs is showing off the basket and magnet. It doesnt matter if it pushes or pulls. If you are doing this with the same box, you will gain whatever displacement that your current speaker basket and magnet was taking up. Depending on your sub, it can be a little .1 cubic feet increase. You probably can find the displacement of the basket / magnet online.

 

Cool, that's what I wanted to hear.

 

hey WILL you seem to know alot about measurement on boxes for subs. could you please help me build a sealed box that is 2cubic feet inside diameter using a 3/4 board for 2 boston pro series sub.

 

How about considering an Isobaric setup?

 

I have never tried it before but could you do that with the boston pro series?

 

if you could what would be the inside diameter for one sub?

 

Sure. Hit me up on AIM. b00gersinmynose.

I need to know some measurements of your trunk.

 

Will,
You are the bummmmmm....the speaker box that you have design for my 2 12" boston acoustic work's like a champ. i can't believed the solid bass that's coming out of my sub. thank you so much

 

Awesome :thumbup:
