Sub woofer sound covered
Don't flame me, but we do like taking our vette for vacations and pack luggage, golf clubs, etc. in the back. What happens to the sub woofer sound when one is installed in an enclosure in the compartment back there?? I know you will still feel it, but does it get muffled or something?? Thinking about putting in a 10"er with 200-200 watts.
Maybe this is a good case for putting the 8" Kickers in the doors.

Yep, put 8"s in the doors and a sub in the rear. Crossover the rear sub at 80 HZ or below and enjoy the extra bass wether or not it is blocked by luggage.

Forgot....a lot of people put subs in their trunks and are blocked by the rear set and deck. The low bass seems to go right through.

Re: Sub woofer sound covered (knewblewkorvette)
Thanks for the reply Jay - how's the occupation going??
Can I fit a 3 way component set of speakers in the existing door and cover with the existing door panel?? Thinking of the Kicker 8", and the CDT RSD 210 - 5 1/4" and 1" tweeter. Then add the CDT image enhancer up on the pillars or dash corners. Don't forget the 10" sub, maybe Kicker CVR10 or Rockford P310DL. Then of course lots of power amps and HU!! Man this is fun.
Thanks,
Scott

Re: Sub woofer sound covered (leolufse)
Lars, I believe the Kicker RMB8 or RMB6 can both be used in door applications, but now that you tell me that there isn't enough room for all I want, I guess I will have to re adjust my thinking....or the car. Still would like to get an 8", plus a mid in the door, and maybe have to locate the tweeter on the outside of the grill or into the door like some others have done. Dam this is fun.

Here is a pic of an install I did using the JLXR653csi components. There is a 6.5" and 4" with the tweet in the doorpull. It sounds fantastic. Its running from a JL300/2.

The job is great 
Eatrice is also putting 3 ways in his doors, I believe he is going with 8" MB Quarts. I also believe they have a 4"mid and 1" tweeter.

Here is a pic of mine. I have made a few more of the aluminum plates for forum memebers but they use a two way set up.
Jay...your doors have grown on me and I am about to start redoing mine in all fiberglass so you can see the drivers.
