To start with can we have a detail explanation about passive radiator and hows its does. I have seen passive radiator install with Blau but thats made by Blau.
Sir, I had this RS installed in September, 2007.
The job was not done well or completely. Hence, I wanted to get it re-installed.

I had the car opened and stripped and all the treatment is being re-done.
I will have all the cables checked & the power cables upgraded & the polarity confirmed etc.

The Damping was in complete. There were parts of the boot & rear pillars that used to 'ring & resonate' hence they needed to be looked into.

Passive Radiators have been discussed on this forum in the past.
They are not a very nice idea. They are an old concept - were used a lot in the 70's and the 80's but it is rarely used these days.

However, I love to make sub woofer enclosures. I have the ones that 'installers & retailers' sell in the opne market - calling them boom boxes etc. Theyare flawed in their concept / idea & executon.

We buy such expensive gear - subwoofers& install them in such poor boxes. Not the right thing to do !!!

How I wish that out forum members took a little effort and reserched sub woofer enclosures [volume & design] on the net & then made the boxes as the need and requirement of the woofer that has been selected by them.
