DLS SOUND HANDBOOK - SPEAKER BOXES
BASS BOXES IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARS
1. SMALL CARS LIKE VW GOLF AND SIMILAR
In this car type the bass box should be mounted with both speaker and port directed backwards.
Alternatively booth speaker and port can be directed upwards. This way of mounting is valid also for half-
combi car types.
2. SEDAN CARS
In this car type with the passanger compartment separated from the luggage compartment the bass box
should be mounted with booth speaker and port directed towards the rear seat. In some cars there is an
opening in the middle of the rear seat for loading skis etc. You can place the box behind this opening and
direct speaker or port through this opening. There must be some free space in front of the port, (between
the rear seat and the port opening)
Don´t put the port through the hat rack if the speaker is directed towards the rear seat, this will give a poor
sound. Alternatively you can mount both speakers and port in the hat rack with a box under it, but this
requires more changes of the car original interior.
3. LARGE CARS, STATION WAGONS.
In this type of cars the best sound is achieved with the bass box mounted behind the rear seat with booth
speaker and port directed backwards. Alternatively you can put the bass box on one side of the luggage
compartment.
