So I got an eclipse a while back for a really low price, and then i finally got the Phoenix Gold 8.0.1 amp and got it all hooked up.

The sub postion is only temporary, cause when i start school in the summer im gonna take it outta my car and put it im my dorm until the fall term begins, which at that time i'll have an apartment, and i'll move it back in the car permantly.

wut u guys think?

Nice little setup you've got now. Buy a plate amp and build a home theater setup for the sub for when you wait out the summer.

Facing the sub up = more rattles, besides its better for hatches and SUVs.
Facing sub toward the front = too much cancellation
I think the best is facing the subs straight back at least for me it is. Although your box looks like its tilted a little.

Nice subwoofer how much power are you feeding it? Time to replace those stock fronts to keep up with your subs.

^^^^
actually it doesnt rattle nearly as much as i had anticipated. obviously it does rattle, but most of it is in the lower bumper area. my tag used to be the loudest, once i took care of that, it became the exhaus piping and 3rd brake light area. but it usually only rattles REALLY bad on higher bass, cause i have the and set at 60hz and the HU set at 60hz so when i get a song that hits reall high, the sub doesnt like it and it rattles like madd. but i'll figure somthin out in the fall.

For the past few days I actually have been running at 800watts to see how the sub is( perfect by the way) but iim gonna drop itdown to like 600 ish later cause i dont want to mess up this sweet sub.

SPIN_RG--

I tried to mount the amp on thr back of the seat but it oesnt fit.

I have a rear strut tower bar that hits the amp when i try to close the seat. I was thinin about mounting the box to the floor then mountung the amp to the back of the box, we'll see what happens.

I was gonna hook it up to the computer for music, but damn, thats even better. Im gonna have to look that up. thanks for the idea

Probably a bad idead, for not many car audio subwoofers are meant to do well in home theater applications. Most plate amps are wired 4 ohms so make sure your impedences are correct before you go blowing some stuff up. Box specs need to be a little bigger and probably need to be ported and tuned for a desired output.

You can find a lot of info over the net on using car audio subs for home theater aplications. There's nothing to be afraid of. Clean signal applied through a proper amp with a sub in an enclosure. It's the same basic fundamentals. Matching power levels and impedance is a no brainer. You have to tune the enclosure for a larger area though. (room vs car) Not everyone is into doing it, but it's fun to toy with, and also gives use to some people's old subwoofers.

it looks like one of those old school desks with the hinge in the back? anyway it's looks like that sealed up and drilled. looks good, hows the response?
