that sub came out of an active enclosure and as such is NOT designed for free air use
so you've actually taken what would have sounded an ok ish sub and made it sound worse

The standard of the speaker and amp are not exactly high quality so I dont think it will sound any worse! :grin:

cheap or not it was in a specific enclosure designed for optimum performance
taking it out of a box and mounting it that way will make it sound severely worse

My cars only an 8v but putting diesel in it wont work.

Same principle above.

It's not designed to be in that environment.

nice idea, shame about the no enclosure, maybe dynomatting behind it may help a little?

also doesnt help that your sharing the boot air with the 6x9s, got air flow in all directions which surely with the sub having no support of a box wont offer any favours there either?

i like the idea though of stealth boxes and subs built into side panels to give maximum boot space possible, im not one for using up the whole boot space with subs, amps, etc, so i do like this idea

dynomat would make absolutley no difference to the sound in this case
you could definitely not class that as a stealth box more a stealth panel
completely useless and pointless

Whatever, it sounded pretty dam well. You can't really ask for much more, as Len said

They cost £70, not exactly top of the range  :smiley:

Think we've established that mate.

Not sure how that comment helps at all or is at all useful.
