its supposed to be opposite of the driver for i believe sound depth, i know you are supposed to do it, i rarley did 1 sub boxes, it was a 2 sub box customized for 1 sub and amp... Im not exactly sure how it works, i can ask my guy and he will explain it better...

Awesome, I'd like to know what he says about it. I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'd like to hear more explanation then, "you're supposed to do it".

lol ya i know what you mean, i used to know.. been a while... its kinda like the same thing as you are supposed to point all speakers torward the driver

[soven]

No, you dont move the sub around for sound depth. just try facing it a few ways and see if it is better. You don't need to point the sub towards the driver either.

I heard you get alot better sound if you mount it on the hood

I re-did everything in my car, moved the box slightly over and re-wired the amp. Looks alot cleaner.

I was thinking about getting a 1/2 farad capacitor. Do you guys know if this would make a big difference?

I can get a Rockford capacitor for $40 at my work.

it all depends, your **** isnt really that powerfull but iw will keep your ligths from blinking when it hits a deep bass


edit: not blinking, but dimming...

And it will give the amp a dedicated power source. I think I'll get it just to have. I don't want the amp taking power away from everything else.

thats what happens...dimming when it hits a deep bass

I haven't even got my sub installed yet but I've tried readin up on them and seems like i read on this site somewhere to improveing your ground wire (move it closer to amp and possibly get a bigger one) could help the dimming problem
like the setup by the way i got the same sub except its 12 inch and its 4-ohm

get a cap, will fix all the diming issue... you wont have any dimming...

[pepsiman]

It has been proven many times that caps are a band aid fix and places extra stress on your electrical system. 90percent of people who have dimming headlights etc is due to grounding problems.

Upgrade your grounds and you would not have any problems. The factory grounding of the celica is especially pathetic in the engine bay.

wouldn't it be cheaper to just fix the ground and save his $40? (well except for the cost of the new ground wires)

[kerosene]

ground wont do anything, not that i know of atleast...

[GotToyota]

I don't have any dimming. I just thought it would be good to have one.

-Matt

[kerosene]

yes matt, very good idea... but look at 1farad... 1/2 isnt cost effective
