bass travel question

[honda_mike]

i have a set of 10" MTX audio subs and ill have two amps running them. I had this system in my 92 CB and pulling up to places and what not ppl couldnt really hear the bass, but as soon as i poped the trunk just a little bit bass got louder.

How can i get the same bass sound from when my trunk is open a bit, to it being closed and having that sound(that you can hear from a distance)?

if you have DVC (dual voice coil) subs, wire them for 2 ohms, but be careful sometimes your amps and subs aren't ment to handle a 2 ohm load. a ported/slotted box will increase the loudness of the subs with less power going to them. you could also tune the amp.

open the back seats up and get a ported box if you don't have one.

ive played with the amps alot, ill try wiring them for 2 ohms, system is a bit old, i will be switching the system, but for now im going to try and make this one work.

For my next system im looking to do two 12" Orion HCCA comp subs, i no with those ones i can get some massive bass!

I want to do that but it'll get to be a big pain in th a**, due to the fact I have a two year old, and constatly putting it in and taking it out would drive me nuts. hahaha

That would be cancellation. Try adjusting the subs position in the trunk. Put it so that it faces the trunk lid.

i'll try that, but i think it could be the box as well, its begind plexy glass and has 4 ports in it

I found it point outwards made the licence plate rattle, sound really bad, however pointing it inwards sound cleaner and lower, combine that with open rear windows should be able to be heard loud outside the car.

Know how to use an angle grinder? Cut a giant freaking hole in the trunk, that's the only way it'll sound the same open and closed...

And yah, license plate rattle! Such a hard problem to fix! I mean, you have to actually remove two whole screws and put dynamat/damplifier/etc on the back of the plate! Then you have to screw it back on. You might break a sweat!

Sound like a hardcore job, might take it to Honda dealership to get it done

Like i said i prefer it facing frontwards so no need to worry about it

That would be a bandpass box. You might want to try just using a regular ported box. If you have the money check the specs on your subs and either have a shop make you one or make a box yourself that has the ideal airspace for the particular subs you have. Not all subs are meant to be used in a bandpass box so that might be one problem.

Why do you want to attract attention to yourself?

If it sounds good inside the car, then leave well enough alone.

I dont want to attract attention, i just want the same sound thats inside the car outside the car

wont happen unless u run without a trunk. the cb7's seal in sound really well. honestly no one else wants to hear someone elses music, its annoying and a nuisance at night. if you want a car that doesnt seal in sound then get a small small truck and stick subs in the back seat or truck bed. in addition LADIES dont like loud music unless its in a club. <--- note the terminology. take a lady on a road trip and i GURANTEE she will not allow u to blast it the whole trip. nothing like having a trunk full of subs and no room for luggage and no use for the subs. ull find out one day my friend haha
