Front seat footwell enclosure....

Back at it again with another ask CAJ thread.

I asked about under seat enclosures at one point and quickly realized that I don't have the space nor the desire to cut the floor of a car I technically don't own in my pursuit of midbass response. I broached the subject with my installer/friend/underling and he recommended a footwell enclosure a la ones seen in high end Acura NSX builds or Peter from PSSound builds (like his most recent video with the Utopia in the BMW). I initially balked at the idea because even though it would be passenger side I may periodically ride in the passenger seat if a co-d has to drive my car at some point on a long trip or whatever. I'm coming around to it more because I also realized I don't ride with anyone that often if ever honestly and what do I stand to lose in the long run.

https://www.newcougar.org/forums/att...b-footwell.jpg something like this but....different.

What say you folks?

I am trying to figure out how to utilize my Anarchy 7s in my car without tossing them in the rear doors and losing potential quality lower end midbass response. The idea was placing the two of them in the enclosure and powering them with a 2 channel amp.

Lemme know something.

Thanks.

it's not all unheard of and makes it easier to highpass-cross the midbasses higher (like 100-120hz) to minimize resonances. gary summers has his front sub play down to like 50hz or so and back sub picks up the bottom octave.

finding enough airspace in the footwell and dash to get down to 20hz easily is tough, usually requiring a bunch of custom work.

i've heard a few front-sub cars that transmit bass to the back so it sounds like it's coming from the back on some frequencies. it can be tricky to tune right and/or bass-trap. i've heard two cars get it right.

Thank you for that. I'm just looking to shore up my midbass section since doors are less than ideal...only need them to play down to 50...up to 200 or so.

Brian's Mitchell Evil ELR only has a front mounted sub, a 10 IN in a 0.4 CF footwell box, I talk about it just a little here

I'm sure you can find many detailed write-ups and videos on his build. This is one that I enjoyed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIvTsSsQ_Xo&t=2s

brian's car is always a treat. there's an event 2/22 in vacaville if you want to drop by.
