15" xfl Trunk install opinions.

Yea I think I can take the port out about 6" before it starts to interfere with the rear seating area.. I doubt a piece of wood would be comfortable on a passengers back. lol... I'll figure it out though...

How much air space do we have to work with?

Best dimensions are 17" H x 30" W x 31" D .... 9.1 cubes

If you have that kind of room you'd get much louder with two 12" XFLs. But regardless either will sound great.

Yea But 2 12" cost more $$$ than 1 15" ... I'd like to do is especially since the badpass would allow the 12's to get loud on the lows, plus more cone area so more air, but I just can't afford it.

Surface area isn't everything. The 15" could very well be louder. It depends on the box and power.

Well have you ever used the xfl 15 in a 4th order bandpass?? That's what I intend to do. The amp will be a hifonics brx2400 so ill have plenty of power. (Stock 120a alt, big 3, 0 gauge power/ground, 4 gauge for speaker wire).

With some recommendations on here I've designed a 4th order with a sealed chamber of 2.23 cubes net and ported chamber of 4.25 cubes net. 8"x7" square port tuned to 40-42 hz
