Loud lows in a wagon, please help!

Recommended Posts

This setup will be in a 1985 celebrity wagon. I want insane, air moving hard hitting lows. Two different setups....

1. I was considering a wall running directly behind the front seats with 4 L7 15's and the most port I can run and still have a low tune. I'm guessing about 300 square inches of port.

2.Another idea I was considering was running a huge box with subs up and port up that starts with the box directly behind the front seats and takes up all cargo area, but keep the box just tall enough to have the port firing on the angled back glass. Of course the port will be as big and tuned as low as I can logically make it. On the 2nd idea I was going to run a lot more cone area, wanting to fit anywhere from 12 to 24 (hifonics HFI's) 12's in it depending on how many cubes I got to play with....

I think the 2nd setup is alot more easier to make, and will potentially get louder since there will be so much more cone area, any ideas? I think the angle of the back glass on the wagon will be perfect for redirecting pressure, here's a pic of a car like it..

You sure that type of vehicle has enough suspension and frame work to accomadate the weight ?? IF I remember those are unibody cars (without Frames). Just a suggestion ...

Kickers would be very loud, but are not to accurate on low notes. they like around 40htz or higher. You might have better luck with the SSA subs. BUT I perfer the wall idea. Again Just my suggestion ... :drink40:

I think you're right with the rear end of the car sagging. Well after talking it over with the owner of the wagon, he decided he's wants to do a cut through on his 97 Silverado.

Cone area wins 99.9% of the time.
