I have a 89 Chevy S-10 and it has a small cab no back to it jus two seet and wall with window but behind the seats towards the bottom there is some what of an angled gap. basically there is enough room to mount two 15s behind the seats and i thinking of doing it but how will this sound using the cab. i am going to mount the sub with the magnet facing the seat speakers against wall.will this be ok? should i put some dampening because it is metal?

Let me see if I am reading this right. You are going to cut a couple holes in the back wall of the cab and have the cones playing free air to the outside, with the magnets inside? If so I would recomend a gore tex type material to keep the elements from touching the subs cones. And I would make a large MDF baffle that attaches to the sheet metal of the truck. It could be done and if done right it should sound pretty good. If you do it wrong it may still sound good, but you may end up getting laughed at all over the internet like a particular Ford Ranger.

Well actually not cut wholes threw the metal but as you said im gonna put a 3/4MDF peice of wood against the metal cut two whole in the wood not the metal.

Well the thing is the metall wall itself has like a two inch wide and 1 inch thick peices of metal all long the wall its hard to explain but i will have a pic soon but andyways it will kinda be like bandpass Look here is somewhat of my diagram.

That won't work. You might as well just set them on the passenger footwell.
|
Why exactly wont it work? and what passenger foot well? Can i somehow seal those gaps between the wood and metal?
|
Because the subs will not have any enclosure of any kind. They will be playing free air, which is different from Infinite Baffle, which is the setup I described. Basically there will be nothing separating the front and back wave of the subs and they will cancel each other and you will get very little output.
|
So do you suggest cutting wholes in the metal it self haveing cone exposed to outside of truck?
