Subject: Suggestions on driver arrangement in ported box. (Car)


Hello all. Enjoying gleaning all the cumulative knowledge you all contribute. Now I've come up with a situation and would like your ideas or suggestions. I am going to build a trunk sub box for my KIA, (I know, ha ha...) =} and I have four Infinity Kappa Perfect 10.1d drivers for it. I plan to wire them all into one 2-ohm load and drive with a mono amp. (Looking at the MTX Thunder 1501d or R/F 1501bd). Looking at the specs sheet from Infinity, I decided to go with the ported design they offer.

So, assuming all that, my question for you is this; would their be advantages to any of these physical arrangements:

1) Drivers in two isobaric pairs on the front of the box, up against rear seat.

2) Same as above, but box built against REAR of trunk space, away from seat, to provide a longer path.

3) Box against seat, but all 4 drivers firing rearward so sound curls up and over top of box, and travels into back of seat, (longer path again).

4) Box built into rear and sides of trunk, and all four drivers facing into a semi-circular void, just behind rear seat.

Appreciate any thoughts on these, OR other ideas, you might have! Thanks in advance!
