    Question TRUNK sub with rear DECK speaker question...

    So,
    I'm not new to car stereo installs, etc. - I'm 54 years old and I've done many, many, many of them over the years, both for myself and others.

    That said...

    I am putting a custom subwoofer in my trunk. I am concerned (a little, anyway) that the pressure from the sub will cause issues/distortion/coloring of the tiny 4" rear deck speakers since they share the same space. I picture them acting as little tiny passive radiators! lol

    (in all my years of owning and customizing cars, I've never had a trunk sub in a car with rear deck speakers -- usually they were in the rear doors or other place besides the deck. Or I didn't use a trunk sub)

    I thought about removing them but I like the rear fill effect.

    Anyway...

    For those that "know", please offer your opinion.

    Thanks.

    The frequencies at which the sub operates are too low to affect the small speakers in the package shelf. There are a gazzillion if cars with subs in the trunk and speakers in the package shelf. Never heard a complaint.

    Okay, frequencies have nothing to do with this.
