Ok, like would my bass be improved any if i faced my box to the rear of the car as opposed to the way it is now? Its faceing forward right now. Its a wedge style box and has a pair of ports on the top. Im just curious as to does it or not? Because i dont have enough speaker wire right now to try it, and im not gona go out and buy some more just to try it and find out it doesnt make a diff.

LOL, some 12awg wire cost what 50cents a foot. Im not really sure if it increase spl any but it didnt make any difference in my car. Then I took the box seat out and built them in. OOOO baby thats the way to go.

Let me give you a little tip Ben... Use 16 awg wire, its all you need, I run 1400watts through 16 awg... 12 awg wire is silly and un-necessary for under 1500watts...

Face the subs towards the back of the car. What kinda car is it anyway. Also use a high grade zero oxygen cable. Between 8-12 gauge. Remember wattage is power to. To small of cable to little watts to the speaker.

Voltage traveling along the speaker wires? Let's take a small and large RF amp for example. Small RF amp stereo: 19 volts Small RF amp bridged: 36 volts Big RF amp stereo: 50+ volts Big RF amp bridged: 100+ volts

Cash to do the install I did? My install cost me 30 bucks. 1 4x8 1/2 peice of plywood and 2 rolls of trunk carpet. "30 wires doesnt include speaker wire" Looks pretty freakin nice. For a wall It would cost more more more. Ive got $200 saved so I can make my future wall look pretty good. "Guessing 4 4x8 1/2 plywood, Lots-o-plexi glass, Few lights, and carpet"

I've been told if you face your subs rearward in a coupe it give the sound wave time to "unfold". Well I tried facing my subs 3 different ways. Up off of the glass. (I have a removeable rear deck) back and forward (I have fold down seats) it seemed like vibrated me more when it was facing back but I also go my entire back of my car to vibrate to and I got the worse sounding rattles I've ever heard.. Forward I've not sure if I acutally tried it the way I want to have it becuase I just faced the boxes up not sealing the entire trunk area from the car like I've been told to do..

Yea. After i got my new ported box i stretched the wires just barely long enough to reach when i turned my box around. The bass didnt really change that i noticed.. but i didnt listen to it long enough. I just know i found alot of places on my trunk where Dynamat is needed.. hehe
