Anybody have a Honda Civic enclosure configuration they liked best?

Except this is a trunk. You need to do a 4th order band pass or the sound waves from the subs will travel around in the trunk and causes massive cancellation resulting in negative bass, ive had to fix quite a few of these setups so seriously its a horrible idea. Imagine all this work and your door speakers have louder bass. Thats what cancellation is. Only way to port up is to fully do a 4th order enclosure not a ported enclosure.

Thank you for clarifying that, i was wanting to hear from someone who had seen it done before. I want to do this build correctly!
I didn't think there would be a rear wave problem if I fired the subs forward sealed off from the trunk with the ports up through the rear deck that way. ( It would be like a big home speaker in the very back of my car with the port facing the back window)
With the subs facing to the trunk lid and ports through rear deck I could see how that would result in cancellation.
Most of the time simple is the best with subs n port forward sealed off from trunk everything would be hitting me in the back which is how I like it and less risk of cancellation issues since sub and Port will be on same face right behind me.

I will be using a small but powerful lithium battery and I can figure out how to get the amps into the trunk panels in small boxes with opposite direction computer fans on the sides to cool them( neato Steve Meade trick) and have some space where the spare tire is as well.
Still looks like 2 twelves, or 1 fifteen is what will fit- 4-5 cubes max.
I've thought about getting an epic 15 like the SSA evil but Id probably be happier with more coil and surface area from two 12s.

I've thought about it but I need the car for delivery purposes or else I would lol

Doing a wall build you'd still have most of the trunk, possibly all of the trunk if you can do lithium and amps in the spare tire well... it's a big spare tire well in a Civic.

if you are using your car for delivery, be prepared to lose a **** ton of gas mileage with heavier use on your breaks and overall vehicle wear and tear. I would highly suggest using pine or birch plywood over MDF, saves you half the weight on the box. You can even go with Neodymium motors on the subs to save half the weight on subs from the FI btl neo line.

It is a big tire well I was looking at it today thinking how much I could fit in there.

You read my mind already! I've already bought the Birch panel and about to get a pair of fi q neos 12s ( they're only 44 lb each) I might consider the BTS as well because I know they're evil loud lol. Four or five k is right about what I want to run so either would be great.

The FI Q is underwhelming both the ferrite and the neo imo. Btl or even BL is way better.
