Question

Ok im looking into setups for my 8 and i have a few questions about what i think i want to do.

First I want to try and sacrifice as little space as possible so i'm thinking about going with a setup similar to the one bob the eskimo has done. For those of you not familiar with this it is basicly looks like this



I am wondering if the sound quality will be less because of the position of the subs. Forgive me if this question is stupid, i just have no idea about this.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me

Jon

hmm. I thought bob the eskimo said that he still fits golf clubs in his trunk with a setup like this... maybe you say its useless because if you might damage the subs if you put stuff on top?

Talking

Take a look at my setup...

3 x JL Audio 8" Subs
1 x Kenwood Amp
1 x 3 Speaker Box (Custom Fitted)

The amp is not shown in the picture, but is screwed on to the back of the box. The box is wedged in there and has velcro on it to prevent it from going anywhere in the event of a sharp turn or sudden stop.

Any comments are appreciated. I had it done at a local shop here in Miami.
