speaker choice for a ve

[lou1]

would there be a issue with bolting the sub box under the parcel shelf ? this is the sub

Dimension A (in., cm) 4-1/8, 10.5
Dimension B (in., cm) 5-1/16, 12.8
Dimension C (in., cm) 9-1/16, 23
Dimension D (in., cm) 16-5/16, 41.4

Literally bolting the whole enclosure up to the parcel shelf, so it would be firing into the boot floor?

yea . and if the distance is correct it will double the bass output or it can actualy cancel themselves out depending on distance from surface

Why would you want to mount it there? I think you are going to have some problems with rattles and vibrations for one.
Can you please explain how the sub firing directly at the boot floor will double the 'bass output'?
I think you would be better off mounting it to the boot floor.. You could try different positions to see what you like best, loading off the boot lid, loading off one of the sides of the boot or firing directly forwards, for some examples.

ok similar to home audio ( i used to sell high end gear ) if u can yet the base wave pattern to align buy bouncing of a surface and directly back increases the wave . well it doesnt actually double but volume and sound increases. we used to do this with home audio installs but we had a program to calculate the distance required, otherwise you can almost deaden the sound if the waves dont align

So you would load a sub directly into a wall of a house?

Just a question, not having a go at you or anything - if you used to sell high end home audio gear, I assume you'd know a lot about sound - why are you using a slimline kicker sub?

He is talking about constructive and destructive wave interference.

Regardless, bolting it to the parcel shelf isn't a good idea.

Also If he used to sell high end home audio gear, I'd assume he'd know how to spell "bass".

Just saying..

about 15 years ago i did sell high end home audio krell amps b&w speakers sony es . bose audio even paid for a trip to the US for about 20 of us . that was back when retail actually had margins in it.
ive already stated why im using a slimline . my car isnt my home stereo and i do use the boot. i should have stated the question better. i was more worried about having a larger weight hanging of the parcel shelf and the vibrations

Fair enough mate. I wouldn't consider the parcel shelf a good place to mount your sub box, not at all.
