Ok, I am getting this sub (no stats yet, but heres the pic) ---> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5706549738&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT
. The car I am putting it in is a 1996 328is. I went to a stereo shop, for some sound deadener and was talking to them about some ideas on the box, because I plan on building my own. They recomended a ported enclosure, with the rear speakers removed and the ports routed up thru those exsisting holes. I have had this type of set up done before on another car, but in bandpass, and I must say, it did work well, but hte question is how.... my trunk looks like this (pardon the cheesy ascii drawing....p.s, the spaces wouldn't render out right, so I had to use dots, just ignore them)

So as you can see, the speakers are above the wheel wells, so if I built a square box, that would obviously not work, since the ports would be no where near the old speakers, I was thinking about a box along these lines....

but that would be a bit complex, so I thought of this as well...

Well, its a little off center, but you get the point. With both of those I could do a port, but would it work? And how would that sub sound in that box, my measure ments are 30w about 15 deep (can be deeper at the bottom if need be) and about 15 tall, so its going to be a good, what, 2 cubic feet at least, before the port calculations come into play...
I will probably have gnomeaudio draw me up the plans, just wanted to get some advice before I have hime draw up something.
Any thoughts?
