Excellent video! I have a hatchback. Was firing a Skar DDX-15 in a ported 15SQV Atrend pre-fab box in the "up" position. Think I'm going to fire it towards the rear now...
Great video. Good to see official numbers. I tried this test (listening only) with seats down/up in a trunk (2×12) in up, front, rear positions. Rear facing had significantly deeper bass, but front was louder/punchy just not as deep. Results got closer with seats up, but still the same result. Be aware your trunk will vibrant way more in rear facing since sound waves are bouncing off the back. Rear plate rattled way more. Some thin door weatherstrip foam all around fixed it, but trunk still flexed/rattled elsewhere.
Ive been switching my setup around for the pass year 😂. My dual ported qbomb box with 12s gothics at 2ohm is closer to the trunk door probably 2 inches from trunk door. Right behind seat seal single box with 12 gotchic at 2 ohm facing front sounded way better than the qbomb box facing front or up right behind seat. Qbomb has a power acoustik 2500x1 and the other at 2ohms by itself. Sound nice af for a budget build. Got 5 if them now just taking my time on my first blowthru build 😊
Great video!@ Hopefully you can help me, i have a SUV im about to install 2 12" sundowns, the main point of the stereo is for playing out camping and not so much in the vehicle, in your opinion what would be the best placement for the sub for that situation. The box is 2 12" subs pointing up and a L vent port on the side, but can position the box also so the subs are pointing straight and the port facing up?
Hmm good question If you are keeping the trunk shut when camping I would fire up or back If you are opening it all up then maybe firing in might give a better overall sound for casual listening by the fire 🔥👊🏼
I have the dual comp r 12s on my backseat of my truck facing directly toward me but they don’t sound all that good I can hear them distorting facing that way. Can’t face them backwards so only other option I have is to upfire them. So should I do that or get a down firing box for under my seats what do you recommend?
I know this is more box design then just simple orientation but thought the question fit better here then elsewhere. I noticed that Cookie Monster has the sub up/port back. Is this configuration typically louder in small hatchbacks or more just a way of working around size constraints?
Sub up port back works for a lot of hatch /Suv styles With other enclosures I actually gained some sub firing back - port to the side Kinda all depends where the meter is and loads of other factors But yes for Cookie Monster - kinda stuck with what space ya have and it worked in a smaller application so I amplified it 😂🤘🏼 Sorry for the 7 month later response lol
My 2, 10" Kicker SoloBerics will pop my trunk on my Altima every now and then. To the point where my latch is now worn and I come out some days to my trunk open 😂. Even with the entire trunk lined 2 deep with sound deadening material it still can pop my trunk.
Not in all vehicles my hummer h3 lost all bass facing rear and hits harder much hardier facing port to the front I’ll have tried this many time but that’s in my hummer hcca single 15.2 aero port 😎
I have a serious serious question I'm new to this I have a F150 and recently got a dual 12 down fire box and I hate the outside rattling at the bottom of my truck. I can return them by Friday and I wanted to look at 4x8 front firing box will take this rattle away Please help and don't judge man! I'm a newbie
Make sure it’s not the box that is rattling also the subwoofer isn’t rubbing if nether of those are bad then look in the truck for things that might be rattling in the area and try to sound proof/ tighten it up

Thankyou man! Definitely towards the rear will help you gain ! Thanks for watching man let me know how it sounds

Like Dr Dre said Keep the bass low speaker away from your face though.

U can try firing towards a corner ive seen many competitors do that
Yes ! I was thinking of listing those but in normal applications it’s not very practical - but yes gains can be made ! Especially for trunk builds
This is cool. but not many people have a hatch back with bass bouncing o the back glass.
Got one for trunks too!
Sealed box tho! th-cam.com/video/0aet_EcODKk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=faXCPwOo8gwPWHKM
How about 12" ported box in crew cab 2018 f150?
Top Video. Brilliantly explained. Thanks
Just seeing this now ! Thankyou so much
great video I'm going to change the direction of my subs now from facing forward to back
You’ll notice a big difference for sure !👊🏼🔥
yes I noticed a huge difference much better thanks
@@charlescox4213 How much pressure is on the hatchback? Does it rattle a lot?

Thankyou for watching! One of my favorite videos I’ve made ❤️👊🏼

What is your system you're using on your laptop?
TO THE REAR...Period
I have mine flush against driver-side hatchback wall facing the back and ports below the cone.
I think facing it up
Sub up is usually a great method
Droppin that FTB at 1:05 lmao
Dam straight 💪🏼
Is it a lot of pressure on the hatchback when you fire it to the rear?
Some but bass waves work in mysterious ways 👊🏼

That lil guy can get down lol
It was hanging in there for sure lol

What sub is being used
This was a JL W3👊🏼
@@LivinLoudwithAndy that's SQ sub and the w6 is SQ/Spl
What about SUVs?
I could possibly do one in my current build - check my latest upload
Tbh it’s very similar
He's in a hatch 🙄 wanna see it in the trunk ported like your first video
I can do that !
@@LivinLoudwithAndy I would like to see the results thanks
Id like to see this same test done in a Sedan... Rear seats up
Put those seats down !
Which way can I face my subs to get surrounded bass
Up, I believe
idk maybe its me but test was in sync with music in back ground lol
Nice Job
Thankyou !
COVID-19!!! 🤣
HAD TOO🤣
