[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8738171, member: 614752"] Have you tried moving that box around in the trunk? Try to slide it all the way to the rear and fire the sub up and see what that does. Trunk cars are tough to get loud to begin with, you're limited on power and power handling, AND your priority is maintaining trunk space so really I'd say you've got a long row to hoe trying to get big output gains if you're not prepared to sacrifice space and/or a good bit of money. Google "Hoffman's Iron Law". IMO easiest cheapest way to gain for you would be to buy a second Dayton and build a box for two if you decide you can give up the extra space. Also even if you plan to move the box when you have cargo, sub box all the way to the back will be optimum almost all the time in the trunk of a sedan; you do not want to block off the whole soft area where the sound waves can come up front and you generally do not want subs positioned not next to a wall or corner to avoid standing waves/cancellation.
