you have a sports car no need for a back seat, build a custom enclosure there, and if some has to have a ride you always have the trunk.

Sooooooooooooooooo I went and got me a never run '05 RE XXX 18. My only problem is the sub is GIGANTIC for my trunk. Would infinite baffle be a viable option in this situation? If not can I possibly get some suggestions on what box to run. I know an 18 is too big for a trunk car, but I wanted to see what I could do //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif I got a MD2D running the sub and a MD22 running boston pro60s, both those amps have to fit back there too. Help me out!

18" too big for a trunk car? I've used em before in my '01 Accord sedan. Firing upwards helps.

no need for an an 18 or 15

1 12 or even 1 10 would be plenty of output you want to put all that weight onto that car and just be loud and obnoxiuos sq>spl

orly?

Ok so you can cram a bunch in a trunk, but is it loud?.

In general an 18 is just to much to cram in average trunks. If you do, its usually not a optimal set up. Why not just recone the XXX to something more manageable?

that is hideous

I find a single 18 to be very easy to get into a trunk as long as you don't have a convertible or the likes of something with no trunk space. 18" BTL is ridiculous with 6-8 cubes, which is pretty easy to get out of a trunk if you build inside the trunk when you go near 8 cubes. Maybe me and everybody I know just have huge trunks though?

I'm gonna agree partially, the subs and box look great, but that rear deck.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Just because you can cram it in a trunk doesn't mean its optimal. You could really just be choking off the trunk from the cabin. Ive seen it many times before, and every car is different. I do know for a fact that a mustang trunk is tiny, and that would be a disaster set up.

What you call ridiculous, i may find quiet / unacceptable for the given equipment.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

the old mustangs are easy...the new ones you have to deal with a hump in the trunk...at least you have a flat floor to work with

Can't choke it off when you fire it forwards and port it forwards while sealing the trunk off //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I doubt you would call an 18 BTL/MT/whatever in 8 or 9 cubes off of 3-4kW in a trunk quiet for the equipment though, but like you said the car plays a huge role. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Sealing off the trunk from the cabin is a whole different story. If that was the case, then it doesn't matter what you cram in their, as long as its the correct size etc.
