First project complete

Actually since subs are omnidirectional, that isn't neccessarily true. True that it sounds louder but in a pickup, the location doesn't matter so much.

 Well the air pressure would not be too bad. The smaller enclosure will make the sub much more responsive, so playing most types of music will be very clear. As for boom, it not may not be as powerful.

My concerns for the install would be that the amp is gain set properly to get the most sound out of the sub without distortion and for heat dissapation. The links for the larger pictures don't seem to be working so I don't know what sub it is, but if there is a rubber ring round the sub's magnet, I would remove it to let the heat spread more evenly.

You probably never listend to a sub that is in front. I have one upfront in my pickup and it's night and day difference between this and one in the trunk. Though SQ/output wise I liked it in the trunk much more.

In the trunk versus the passenger cab was not our statement. We said that in a PICKUP, (not a car) front or rear staging of the sub in most pickup's cab doesn't make noticeable differences. In a Sedan, the difference would be night and day.Never send your ducks to eagle school.
