An update...
As it was the seat and seat belt both touched the flat face of the pioneer 8". I didn't think to much of it becuase it still sounded nice. I did notice however at higher volume levels the sub would slap the seatbelt causing an unpleasant rattle sound. So, I added a grill so the sub could move unrestricted...
and
WOW
I didn't realize just how much the seat touching the sub was taking away from the bass. It was acting as a shock for the sub, especially really low deep notes. With the grill, I've doubled the bass output. The slap is gone of course.
So, I like to always follow up on my threads if I learn something new, or change my mind. I guess it was obvious, but add a grill if anything is touching your sub.
