    2 dual 12in sub boxes

    Will this work? I have 2 sealed boxes. Both have the same JL 12in subs in them. If they fit, can i just stuff both boxes on the trunk together? I'm eventually going to get a custom box for all 4. But in the meantime will this work?

Someone recommended just building...

The original head unit did not have the RCA connectors, therefore, wiring via the rear speakers was the easiest option. This setup seems to have the drawback that it often requires adjusting the...
