Front sub

Ive got this idea... I was thinking about installing one(maybe 2) sub between the 2 front seats.

I can work with 15" front, 10" back

i will relocate the amp

Will i feel more punch if the sub's (probably CDT QES-1220 or IDMAX 12) installed in front VS my 15" in the back?

Good idea or not?

more pics to come if needed

Thanks

Since the bass is a low frequency, you can feel it,hear it from a far distance.

It will punch more but, with a proper system the subs in the back should be alright.

Let me explain why i want to do this, first I often need to remove the sub to remove the rear seats because i want to use the cargo space, next my electrical system is not powerful enough for my current setup so i was think putting a smaller sub near me would need less power (@4ohms instead of 1ohm, also the length of the 12v wire will be shorter).

I like to sit min 4-6 feet away from the subs ....this way you are sitting more
towards the end of the wave lengths....feel it more...hits harder
and also lowers the peak frequency

Forget about the sub in the front then. ill try to find those quick connect plug for 0 gauge and remove the sub when i need more space. Thanks
