Default Sub box set up question

Let me know what you think looks better.

The big gold opening will have a monitor in it, and the white thing on the side is an xbox that will be mounted in the car. The amp will also be in a sunken box or hidden somewhere in the car. Ohh, BTW its Ricks tC since mine is being painted right now.

Option 1




Option 2




Option 3 and 4 use your imagination, since I didn't get any pictures of them like that.

I hate to say it........but you are probably gonna have to try both setups and also with all 3 mounted normal........why you ask........to find what sounds best........that is a good box with good volume......good subs that are gonna push some volume.....but depending on what is going on they may sound way better one way or the other.

Very true ... hmm, we will have to play with it once we get the car painted. How is your fiberglass work coming? I am going to be starting an attempt at doing the sunken amp rack myself and wondering how hard it actually is.

Well due to money shortage and lack of time.........my glassed floor and paint of the floor is turning into a suede covered floor with plexi to show the amp circuits lit up in orange.Boxes are still gonna be painted exterior color and mounted to the floor.

Headliner and pillers are going suede black. Door panels and back panels are on hold till I make about $300 to buy the CF and resin to do them.I am picking up my back panels on friday and they are gonna get ods buit to aim the rear comps.....

got a long way to go but a solid plan to get there.....just about $450 short to get it all done...but I got till spring.

since all the chambers are separate it will be a tossup but I think they will sound best with them all facing out normal.....clean adn loud.
