[QUOTE="k_schutte, post: 4331955, member: 551817"] ****... I am just tryin to figure out how i am going to get enough box to run both of my subs. I was thinking about running one of them but i just don't think i would be happy with that and i already have a pair... There needs to be like what 6" of open space in front of the subs? I can make a box big enough but it will pretty much block the trunk area off from the cabin. Even the rear deck will be blocked off so venting that wouldn't even do any good. Would firing the port into the cabin sound good or not? I am going to get some pictures before too long so you all know what i am working with here... biggest i got so far was 10.8ft^3 before port/sub area is subtracted... I want to do the "sweet spot" which i am told is 4.5ft^3 (each) at 40Hz My main worry is that due to the box, the $1200+ subs/amp i bought will sound worse than the $300 setup i have in there now (which actualy hits pretty **** nice for 10"s) I am just going to google some pics of the trunk of my ETC so you'all can see whats up... Here is the arm rest down (not my car) the leather/sound deadener and sheild have all been removed so it is a straight shot into the trunk. This is where i was thinking about having the port fire through [URL="http://imgplace.com/image/view/847a376233d987052f47fb5183f624de"][IMG]http://imgplace.com/image_bin/7658/847a376233d987052f47fb5183f624de.jpg.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] random trunk picture (not my car) [URL="http://imgplace.com/image/view/5b4458917b9279dc94557dd34902964b"][IMG]http://imgplace.com/image_bin/1203/5b4458917b9279dc94557dd34902964b.jpg.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] another trunnk picture (not my car) just over 40" between the trunk arms, 42" form teh back seat to the back of the trunk and 18" top to bottom [URL="http://imgplace.com/image/view/b61a548c9606afe1fd8d1d99f9087264"][IMG]http://imgplace.com/image_bin/9083/b61a548c9606afe1fd8d1d99f9087264.jpg.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] this is a pic of MY car just cuz....
