Does anybody use the cargo area cover to hide their subwoofers? Does it rattle or affect the sound quality at all?

Thanks

A piece of fabric is not going to effect sound ALOT It would be extreemely minimal. Being that it is not a sealed area and the fact that bass is omnidirectional unless you are competing where .5 db is going to make a difference you should never notice it. Now depending on the size of your system and the position of any ports you may get sort of a "flapping" sound from it. I would highly recomend a sealed box for said application.

I have a cargo cover with a sub and it doesn't sound bad, I actually think its sound better and deeper with it.
Granted its not just the cloth but a homemade cover of carpeted MDF with dowel rods on the end to hold it in place.

JL Audio Stealthbox is made to work with the cover... but it's for serious enthusiasts only.


And no the cover will not affect SQ with any subwoofer.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I have two 10" subs going in a sealed box.
Once hooked up I will let you know my thoughts too.

My name is for the band : )
