Less FW traction with sub in trunk

Any of you guys experince this. I notice that with 2/12's in a very large ported box in the trunk I have less traction on my front wheels now. But on the plus side It souds GOOD and LOUD as He!! .! everything shakes including the windshiled wipers. But If I decide to race somone I spin alittle every time, not a prob before the box. What do you guys think?

Weight between the axles= better traction. Weight in front of front axle= handling problems. Weight behind rear axle = handling problems AND loss of traction. It is simple physics. We all experience it, but few notice (or care). My sub is in front of the rear axle, so I am unaffected. In my old (RWD) Cherokee, it was more traction but compromised handling if you put the weight to the rear of the rear axle. Again, I went in front of the rear axle. Helped w/ snow/slick traction.
