Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Question on Sub Box?

I have a Q-Logic Sub box in the back of my car with 2 12's in it, that damn thing has to way at least 40 pounds, am i loosing a lot of horsepower because of it?

Not alot, but you do lose hp only becuase your car weighs more, you can lost between .1-.5 seconds because of that and more!

You won't lose horsepower, but it will make you slower

do single 10" w/.65 box...

if your worried about going fast don't put a system in your car

get rid of the box. go custom install

hers my idea make a system with quick connecters in it and when it comes to race day it will be easily removaable so for the daily pleaseure of listening to it you wont have to worry about how much it weaighs unless you are one of those full out street racers

40lb.= 3.5hp loss...equals nothing noticable

1 sub and make it a big one, like a JL Audio W7!



Custom Box also saves trunk space, too.



Found it on Celica.net

It would be no worse than having someone in the car with you.

when i said custom i meant something like this:

damn, that's nice lookin

^
^
no more trunk...

i have custom made covers for it. I put just about everything back there

don't you generate tons of heat on those amps if you cover it? not to mention the rattles???

I've never had a problem with over heating. And that car has so much Dynomat in it that nothing would ever dare to so much as squeak

haha , add a w7 ? 1 W7 in a box will weigh as much as 2 normal single voice coil 12's in a box, or course it will be amazingly louder. And you dont lose horsepower, you lose speed. According to the speed channel (so dont quote ME! on this) you lose a tenth of a second per 200lbs on or in the car in a quarter mile race.

I'll show you mine once its done. Mines fiberglassed in : ) Who cares about loss of hp when you can get a turbo

if you are really worried about weight, do like the one post said and make wuick connects, if you have the money to spend just do a kicker L7 8" sub, they pund like crazy and the boxes are tiny, or just go balls to the wall and do total custom in the trunk, but the more custom, the more wood, the more weight

Your worried about horsepower loss from a measly 40 pound box when your rolling around on heavy ass 18' rims.

hahaha
