<--------- Who's A dirty POST WHORE!!!!! I Am!!!!!!

hence why you build a box around the amp and subs

so basically if you mount subs in your back dash, then build a box around them what your doing is stopping all that bass from rattling your trunk instead its all gonna be forced into the car and he'll still have almost a full trunk to put stuff in

im gonna call and check tomorrow, the W5 shallow might be an option


Right... but thats 1.25 After you put the Sub into the numbers..

You will need a larger inside ft2 in order to have that number

so if im gonna call em tomorrow, whats the total space we're gonna need?
and what do you guys think of the shallow w5

woofer displacement says .09 cu ft but that doesnt seem right to me. If the enclosure is 1.25 cu ft and u put the 10W7 in it u will end up with 1.16 cu ft of volume. so box would have to be 1.34 cu ft to end up with 1.25 of usable cu ft. but if u could some how get an enclosure that is 1.6 cu ft that would be better

mhmm i see, i have to call and make sure that its 1.25 after the sub
just curious why would you recommend 1.6 instead of 1.34? i heard too small is not good so is tooo big

SAMzGXP 12-06-2010 12:45 PM

i called the shop whos making my box and he said 1.25 for the W7 thats INCLUDING the sub, he said i can call and ask JL myself, they always include the volume of the sub in whats listed

regardless, i had someone calling me last night, he wants to buy my sub for $600.00, so today after work it might be gone, and i might just go ahead and buy the 13.5 W5 shallow

That sounds like a Good Plan.

SAMzGXP 12-06-2010 05:14 PM

would i notice a big difference between a shallow sub and a normal one?
