Well I have fought with this for 8 months since I bought the car. I cannot stand NOT HAVING ANY BASS anymore! Its driving me insane.
Currently Jennifer(my 95 GT Vert) has all Kenwood gear in the cabin powered by a 600w x4 Sony amp in the trunk. I really need to get more interior pics! Soon promise!
So I picked up another amp, sub, crossover, wiring kit, and I have some MDF out in the shed. I have built many speaker boxes and they all have sounded great, but this one is different.
I am going to run ONE 8" DVC sub in a ported enclosure that matches the specifics for teh sub exactly as the manufacturer calls for. The box has been designed and will sit on the floor right behind the passenger seat because I hate loosing 40% of my bass when they are in the trunk. Also I am keeping performance in mind and didnt want 200lbs added to the trunk area. This box will have quick disconnects if I want to go racing.
RE Audio RTpro 8" DVC sub $60 shipped
Soundstream 240w monoblock lil wonder amp $99 shipped
old school Powerbass 3way crossover $5 from a friend
generic dual amp wiring kit $30 store bought
OK I know, STFUWATP! Here ya go...
Here is a video of the box I designed. It is EXACTLY 0.5Cuft internally including the port volume. The port is tuned to 35hz and the air speed of the port is such that I hopefully wont get any port noise. Sitting behind the passenger seat the port will aim directly at the center of the car.
