I'm planning to build my own sub box and have been reading up on how to design them...so far it's been straight forward, but what I'm wondering is how does a non-symetrical sub box affect the sound?

I'm not set on the exact design of the box, but what I was thinking was to have the box lay down between the rear strut and rear speakers with a height just below the top of the 2 rear speakers (so if you're looking from the front of the car, you wouldn't see it). I was planning to put the sub facing upwards on the passenger side and then mounting the Amp (5 ch amp to power speakers + sub) onto the top the box on the driver's side.

would that be okay?

goals:
-make it myself
-somewhat hidden out of veiw
-decent sound (I'm not looking for anything crazy, but want it to sound nice)


thanks,
Peter

 

The enclosure shape is almost irrelavant. Just make sure to brace it well and seal it up really good.

 

No problem - the enclosure's volume is what's the most important parameter. Make sure that it's air tight.

 

thanks guys!

*looks like tomorrow I'll be picking up a sub/amp/speakers...too bad I've been working so much and am still moving into my house; doubt I'll start on this project for more than a month.
