The proper subwoofer enclosure for a GS trunk|no trunk rattle *video*&*pics*

(2) RE Audio 10" SX's in a 4th order bandpass ported through the rear deck of my Lexus GS300 with a 6" Aero Port powered by a Hifonic BXi-2010D on a Kinetik HC2400 in the rear and a red top Optima up front, 1/0 gauge Kicker power cable, Big 3 electrical upgrade. 

1.6cuft for sealed section
2.3cuft for ported section

Due to the nature of the 4th order design even with the tuning of the ported section being 45hz this setup hits the lows like crazy and peaks at around 32hz. I designed the box to have a 28hz-65hz passband with +3db boost.
The bass is super smooth and very very deep, it's the smoothest and best sounding bass I've heard!

Having this type of bass with [B]absolutly no trunk rattle is awesome[/B], 4th order's ported through the rear deck with a precision aero port FTW!!!

I'll get some more vids up later, any song requests...

About the tape on the box, it's just temp. The trunk is unfinished.... Haven't had time to make a flush cover for it yet. The cover will strech across the entire length of the box, it will be carpeted in the same color as the trunk carpet and hide the box and the gaps to the left and right of it. I also plan to make a false floor for the amp to flush mount it under plexiglass with a couple 80mm pc fans for cooling. I might flush mount the batter but it would require me to remove my spare tire. With the amp flush I can throw the Lexus rug over it and you wouldn't see a system in my trunk, it would just look like a smaller stock trunk.

Thanks.  ya it creates hella pressure with all the bass ported right into the cabin of the car.  The car almost looks like it's breathing.

Sounds crazy!
Do you think you might have traded trunk rattles for leaky glass seals?

lol, the seals are holding up nicely, still have the factory glass and seals on my vehicle.
 
But as for my buddy in the caraudio world Frankie Rio, his ride didn't last too long without getting just a lil damage....

Your install is an inspiration!

Wow I want to get my audio together already.

lol, ya Frankie doesn't care about ear damage.  He has had some crazy loud 160db+ vehicles.

like your setup you got, never seen the port routed into the cabin like that... crazy. gave me some ideas though, thanks for sharing.

very nice. I want to do a similar setup for my LS!

nice box setup... thats the only way to do it since the gas tank is back there trapping all the air....
 
keep on flexinsteelzzz..

Was going to build a box like this for my GS, now every car since has had the gas tank right there.... Thinking of trying to build a craft port, but am not sure how it will affect the sound....
