In Reply to: Anyone have dual subs installed in their E32s? posted by Curtis Gordon on January 06, 2002 at 17:44:36:

I have a single Orion 15 inch in a box that extends the width of the trunk, about 18 inches deep and from floor to deck. The speaker is pointed out the ski hole, which has only a leather velcro-ed cover.
Since I don't have a clue about 4th or 5th orders, I don't understand why it would sound better pointed to the rear. If it would sound better, then I will move it.
Any comments welcome.
Thanks

I'm talking custom built speaker cabinets whether self built or professional installs. I've resisted the urge up until this point, but I'm thinking about adding a system to my 740i.

I'm thinking about using a 4th order bandpass enclosure and porting through the ski hole, and I'm wondering if I'll get the desired bass effect I'm looking for with that setup.

I've considered a sealed enclosure, but I don't like the standing wave problems encoutered with them for a trunk mounted box.

I'm looking for success stories and differing opinions, so what's in *your* trunk?
