Hi everybody

i have a 12" sub in my boot facing outwards.

Just a question, is there anyway to make the sub sound not sound soo tinny if outside. if that maks sence.
i had it turned around facing the inside for a bit i think it helped but had to take in out again due to car batter draining etc.

is ther any thing cheepish which can solve this? its not important as im inside listening to it but sound horrible if im outsde of the car!

Cheers

is there any way of fitting your sub so that it is facing the rear shelf,, my old sub box was a standard wedge shape and this enabled to lye it on its back, this doesnt stop the rattling but will help slightly as the sub is not firing directly at the bootlid,, you will still need some sound deadening,, self adhesive lino tiles from the diy work well and they are cheap.

Yeah - stop being such a chav and get an iPod instead!

Where in the car is the sub... boot I assume? Start of by thoroughly sound deadening the boot, then everywhere else. Also experiment with moving the sub around, facing wherever. Lastly... tinny? shouldn't do, as subwoofers produce only bass! Low-pass filter on?

Maybe he is talking about it rattling the boot. Not actually tinny.
