sub box help.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it could eventually damage your speaker to run it without a box! Definitely build yourself a box. Even if you build a ****ty one it'll sound/pound way better than it ever would without one. Measure to see how big of a box will fit behind there, then build it as big as you can, making sure the sub will fit in it (depthwise.) Cut some sort of a hole for the port and you're good to go.
There's a lot more to box building than that, but any half-*** box will sound way better. Don't feel bad, in my first vehicle I had a massive ugly bare plywood box packed with blankets and 2 15" home audio woofers in it. Ghetto to the max.
As for your amp, I would put it under the seat. If you can't do that, mount it to the box or the back wall.
PM me if you want to try building a box. I can probably find you lots of information on the interweb, and if you can give me the model #'s of your amp and sub I could give you better information. Building boxes is fun, try it!

Haha, that's ghetto. I'd love to hear how that sounds. Can you say distortion? Does the surround not slap off the cab wall?
That is truly a 'custom' mount. If you like it like that, so be it. But it is wrong in every possible way.
HEY you should see if the magnet will stick to your metal roof and you can hang it directly over your head :P

If you think it hits now, you just wait till you get it in a box. I mean i dont know how good of subs you have, but i sure can say that ANY sub will sound 1000x better in a box.
oh and 22? PPPSSSSHHH! 32 MAN!!

yeah man, i know. my 3 best friends have subs, and their cars soound awesome. my friend has a nissan altama coup, and a 3k amp, and a 3k sub. 1k RMS in that tiny *** car.

WTF kind of stuff do you smoke, because I definitely need to get some of that..
what were you thinking when you halfassed that? If you dont have the money to do something the right way, why bother doing it at all if the end result is basically wrong and ****ty?

not to rain on your parade, but i bet you already blew a voice coil and your sub may sound like **** when you get a box ..... cause i used to haev a kicker comp 12 in my old civic that wasnt quite sealed into the box cause the back of the magnet hit and it only lasted a few months before blowing up

if it works, it works. and it works pretty well. i know that it would sound muuuucccch better if i had a box..... But hey, isn't that what this forum was made for anyways?

yeah but that looks like a nice *** sub man ... you probably coulda looked up the specs and built a box for like $10 in materials and just not carpeted it ... ive been known to do this lol
YES THATS MDF LMAO!!! This was my **** in my 91 civic .... later i went back to kicker though and got 2 12s .... that was nice till the amp caught on fire one day ... luckily i smelled it and put it out just charred the box didnt mess up the car ... no more cheap *** ebay amps for me

i wonder why they all have the cone seperate from the flex rubber part at the bottom .... but like i said on my current 10s superglue fixed that and ive had em just over 3 years, and i got em used with the amp off craigslist.

its a weak link in the system. flexing and temperature change is hell on adhesives.
