Sub Direction

[IcePhreak08]

OK, heres the problem... I just got my box and its too tall to squeeze in my trunk space, so what i was wondering is...Can i lay my subs in the box on their back? I.E. The subs are facing up? would this be a problem? I need to know ASAP

THanks in advance

just curious but would facing it upwards add extra force on teh driver because its working against gravity? couldnt that effet the way it sounded, as opposed to it being in its intended position?


not arguin just wonderin

in almost every single case, it's no problem at all. there's a microscopic decrease in motor linearity (its the best word i can think of) that you'd never notice. net result: no problems.

wouldnt the decrease in performance also be based on the quality of the sub? like shittier bulit sub would be a higher decrease in performance?

[neomagus00]

to a degree. it's based mostly on the suspension of the driver. if its a loose suspension, it'll sag more - just like a car. a tighter suspension (including that of a sealed box) will hold the sub to its neutral position better. if you had a high-excursion sub in a vented box, it may be a different story, but in your case you've got nothing to worry bout :)

to answer your question - shittier subs often have shittier suspensions :rolleyes:
