I just had all my equipment taken out of my 2006 Nissan Altima(wife will be driving now). I bought a 1994 Cadillac Sedan Deville. When I had my two 12 diamond d6 in a ported box inside the Altima If you pulled one half of the backseat down. You could hear and feel the subs alot more(night and day). A couple of questions A) Was there not enough airspace in the trunk of the altima? B)What could I do to the Cadillac to get the most sound inside the car?(Seats wont fold Down). Thanks in advance Dan
Take out the rear deck. Or if you don't want to do that: If the car has the rear speakers in the rear deck, just take them out since good systems don't use rear speakers anyway. That would "port" the trunk to cabin.
Are you saying just cut out the sheet metal of the rear deck and just leave enough to have the cover over on the edges. Im having kick panels built for my for my front stage since I had 6.5 in the altima and the cadillac fronts are 5.25 and its alot cheaper to have kick panels built than to buy new componets. From what I hear componets sound better in kick panels anyway. I left the aftermarket 6x9 in the altima because I had it faded all the way to the front always. Didnt like the sound of the rear speakers with the componets. Really didnt need them. Thanks Ill post some picks of the caddy its pretty clean for a 13 tear old car. Just threw someplayer wheels on it !
I think what Chad is saying is to port the subs on the front of the box and then turn the box so both the subs and the port are firing towards the back of the trunk. This usually gets the loudest for cars that cant fold down the backseat.
i am simply saying face the sub and the port toward the rear of the car. listen to it to see if it gets loud. my friend is in the same situation and believe me it gets loud.
also if you take the rear speakers out and there is a opening to the trunk then do it. some cars are closed even if you take the speaker out.
since u do not like rearfill anyways just take out the rear speakers and leave them empty or keep the rearfill and if it has a backseat armrest, make the port there? sh!t, if that's the case build the port so that's it's airtight where the armrest is
taking out the rear speakers just make a lil dif. not much and you cant evin really hear the rear speakers when there in there... i have alot of people my my back seat so i put my 6x9s back in...i have a 94 deville too
