Please do explain. Don't just make a claim without a supporting fact.

He was probably getting at smaller speakers in a ported box, but eh, I'm sure these hit pretty nice too. Mmm, Memphis.

That's a clean *** install, too. Props.

imo 15s are just to big for that trunk. he can go with an smaller sub using less box height so more output can be acheived!

is that so? would it make much of a diff? what do you think about 3 10's?

the waves wont pass into the cabin the right way. Your trunk will be LOUD but your cabin wont. Well not as loud as it could be. two ported 12's probobly would have been a better bet, but thats a sweet install dude!

He's 17, he wants to be able to show off and tell people he has two 15s in his trunk. Nothing wrong with that. He'll learn in time.

Nice looking install, better than what I had at 17.

don't listen to this guy about waves and such nonsense. unless he has experiments with different sub\car\enclosure and a mic his assumptions are just that. i have seen these experiments and there was little to nothing conclusive - maybe 1db, nothing you will notice in a daily driving application such as yours. he also needs to learn to use the spell check.

I'm sure a sealed box with more cone area will sound better than a ported with less. cone area > excursion.

id recommend cleaning up the wires under the false floor, but thats because I'm a nit picker //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

and i will go as far to say dont listen to this guy. somewhat he said is true. and sealed box more cone area may sound better to an certain point so dont go leading this guy down the wrong path. he may just go try to get 2 18" MTS one day putting them in 8 cubes sealed in his honda thinking he would be louder than using 2 10" BTLS ported. listen the facts remain and from experience and common sense. loook at it like this those 15s in his trunk is similar to you haveing an wall almost sealed off in an suv, BUT REAR FIRING! that wont be loud on the inside no would it?
