Yah that was going to be my last option if sealing my trunk didn't go well (that is facing the port to the trunk). It seems like so far the foam is doing the trick, and wow they bang. As for the wall, I was hoping to do that originally, and I did, but became way too big for these small 10" subs...

Anyways, the foam dried and WOW huge difference. I still get a "noticeable" gain when I pop the trunk (but not nearly as extreme as before), but I have a feeling there are some air leaks that I know of that still need more attention/foam, but I ran out until tomorrow. Kudos on everyone who told...

Good thing I asked you for your opinion on how stage 1 of my install looks... may not have realized at this stage it looks like crap... *looks at posts above yours* oh wait I did say it looked bad already..... and that I am going to fix this...

Funny you say that it was walled... but I found the box/airspace was WAY too big. Yah I agree it looks horrible, but because I have rebuilt it so many times I want to make sure it sounds good first, then I will worry about aesthetics later. Going to build the box to the edge and carpet it all.

Thank you Everyone!!! for their input, I have been racking my brain on this, and do not understand it enough apparently to know the problem. I think this will be the quickest easiest fix. I know most won't care but I will tell the verdict if that fixed it tomorrow night. I am hoping and...

Well I will try that tomorrow night, I am going to use a combo of wood, caulk and I think I am going use "Great Stuff" foam to help with the rear deck, since I think it is the only way of making sure all the little nooks and crannies are airtight. Apparently they market the "Big gap filler" as...

man I hope that works, it sounds AMAZING when the trunk is opened, and horrible with it shut. Again just to verify, you are talking about sealing it from AIR, or making it airtight.. correct. (as apposed to from the reverberations/sound waves, and meaning that I can achieve this by wood and...

also thinking about that if giving them more air is what they need then I don't think making their usable cab airspace smaller would help.. but then again I can be wrong as I have found

now when you mean close the trunk area off, are you just talking about from air (making the seal air tight between the cab and trunk), or do I need to find some fancy way of deadening the sound waves going to the trunk.

@goingdef - now if they are firing at the trunk, is my port facing forward (towards the cab) fine, since I cannot fire the port up with this box because of port length issues.

I know the box is not pretty, but again because this is box #3 I have been trying to get something that sounds good and work on finishing after.

lemme grab some pics right now for yah

the "large opening" is just meaning that without the seats the trunk and cab are not separated by anything (seats or baffle or anything)

the seat that is labeled is the front seats... the back seats have been removed and the box build in place

it is in the back seat area. Opening the doors or windows doesn't help a lick, but popping trunk makes the world of difference.
