    Post LPG tank and subwoofer

    hello everyone,

    I have a VR commodore and would like to put a subwoofer in it, a head deck and run the stock speakers off it. I have a gas tank fitted behind the seats and i was just wondering if the gas tank will "block" out the bass from the subwoofer? For you guys who have a gas tank fitted behind the seat and have a subwoofer in the boot, does it overall block out the bass coming into the cabin or is it barely noticeable?

    thanks,
    My car audio:

    CD tuner: Alpine CDA-9884E with Ipod interface
    Front speakers: Alpine Type R SPR-17S 6.5 component speakers, powered by a avant-garde 23dxi 2 channel amplifier - 2x51 watt RMS
    Rear speakers: pioneer coaxials connected to tuner
    Subwoofer: Alpine Type R SWR-1222D 12" 2 ohm dual voice coil 500 watts RMS powered by a response precision 2x150 watts RMS 2 channel amp bridged to 500 watts RMS @ 4 ohms

    oh wow, I'm in luck i was worried for a minute that it wouldn't produce bass but i guess it doesn't really matter.

    i used to run subs in my old car with lpg and didnt lose much if any bass. If you're really concerned remove the rear speakers and use the gaps as 'port holes'. I doubt it'd make that much difference though

    My gas tank doesn't seem to make a difference to the amount of bass in the cabin, I cant wait till I have the time to get rid of the thing though.
