C4 sub install questions.....
I have subs in a box but I want to build them in.......Aside from mounting them and using decent wiring, is there anything I need to know????? or is it just basically mount em, wire em, play em?????

1) Make sure the interior volume of the box matches the subs well.
meaning what??? :confused: I want to build them into the floor......do I need to build a box that I sink into the fllor or can I just cut a hole and mount???

If you can't figure out what you need post the sub you'll be using, and we'll help.

some of these guys are a little **** about instruction books. you can use a board across the back & mount them into the floor. it will sound better if you seal it up. a box would definatly be cleaner and create more output, but it's hard to do one cosmetically in a C4. 2 8's in the cubby plastic will rattle pretty bad so i'd look into something like a carpeted fill board for the back & mount them in it.

pulled the factory doors & plastic. used 1/2" mdf for a baseboard & layed it down in the back. you can see another pannel built in to access the ABS. the sub part was sealed up with spray foam as well as i could. the top cover is just a bottomless box with some swiss cheesing. there's really no reason to leave the plastic. it just rattles & gets in the way.
