Toyota Tercel 15" ported box
Lookin for some advice on a good box design for a single 15" for a Toyota Tercel.
The car doesnt allow much height because the trunk opening is only 15" high and my sub is 15.5" wide, so i cant face the sub in or to the back of the trunk. The only option i can see is to face the sub up. So now i am trying to figure out what the best port direction would be?
Do i face it up along with the sub?
Do i face it to the back?
Firing into the car?
Firing to the side really isnt an option in this case, so i guess there is no point in asking about it. I am aiming for a 4" slot port, and somewhere around 3.5 - 3.8 ft³.
What works best for people out there?
Anyone got any advice? .... other than buying a bigger and more solid car.
I should also mention, this isnt strictly for SPL. It is my daily driver, so i plan to stick with more of a daily setup than SPL. I am just looking to get as loud as possible in the process of keeping it tuned lower than most SPL setups.
Looking for somewhere around a 33 - 35Hz tuning range.

yea i've never really been a fan of em either.. lol.. just throwin out an idea :P seeing as your sub can barely stand up in your trunk on its own i figured just toss if on an angle and it'l fit just fine :P i imagine if its built properly it could sound awesome.. but its all really personal preference when you have a few different options

I am thinking i will fire the sub up and fire the port into the car. If it doesnt sound quite right i will turn the box around to fire the port into the rear of the trunk, but i would imagine it would sound better facing it into the car. Guess i wont know till i try, right?
