Is better to have the subs facing the seat or the rear of the car?? Also y is one way better than the other? And last is a ported box better for the cobalt trunk rather than a sealed?

It’s all personal preference... On the subs they say its better facing the trunk about 3 ft from the back bc of the wavelengths of bass notes they hit the back of the trunk and come back at you in phase with all the other audio in the car.

A sealed box will give you tighter sounding bass. Ported normally has more spl and not as tight the notes kinda "role" more.

OK thanx man ill switch mine around

have them face the back of the car, if they get hitting real hard you dont want to actually hear the sub its self you want to feel it,

jims2312ss

thats for sure thanx guys

stinkyfisherman

x2 rearward facing is the way to go.

jims2312ss

do you guys put the seats down a lot of have them up? I no it will sound louder with them down i was just curious on what you guys do most of the time

stinkyfisherman

with them down it will be louder. less material for the bass to travel through

got ya did u guys get a better battery or get a cap

purplehaze03

i have a 2farad tsunami cap. and going to get a battery. the cap just provides steady power to your subs if you have a big enough amp your cars lights will still dim with the cap. and plus the factory GM batteries usually dont last too long when you put a beating on them DEEP CYCLE FTW!

Yea i have a had a cap in my other cars but it just seems like even with the cap the stock battery is ****...so ill prolly get both

stinkyfisherman

Crazy how sound works huh. Look in to horn tweeters from ID they can play down to 600hrz.







And IMO caps are useless. They do nothing more than put more of a strain on your electrical system. Get a good battery and do the big 3.

i used to have a 2007 honda civic that i put a yellow top battery in when i had my subs before i had my cap, my headlights still dim when the base hit (yes i know it was a civic) but then after i put in my cap there was a deffinate improvement in sound.... remember the cap charges A LOT faster than a battery, even though the yellowtop takes the beating you will still get improved sound (its power directly at the amp!)
