That box is just like mine in just about every way, shape, and form.

Pics? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

your Q's will be fine off that power in that box. GF's Q gets 1k+ with no issues. Can't wait to hear your feedback. Lows should be VERY good...

There was only one concern I had and that was the fact that the box spans the width of my trunk, and leaves about a 3" space overhead, and about 16" from box to decklid... if it doesn't sound kosher firing rearward I'm gonna flip her around and port that ish directly into the cabin (sealed cabin setup) or should I not be worried?

GF's is also rear firing with about 3" on each side of the box and a few inches over the top and does VERY well. Seats fold down, so that helps.

Try it both ways and see what you like best. IMO front firing can sound a little cleaner, but not as deep/boomy, so it depends what you like and kind of music you mostly listen to.

Well, my seats are bench they do not fold at all *however* ... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif ... I managed to break the mounting studs for the top of the bench when I installed the 6x9s... (not my fault, rusty bolts) . So I'm getting somewhat of a vent from the trunk with the seat sitting slightly forward (about 2 inches). And I also plan to cut out the leather that backs the "armrest hole" for more p0rtage... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Because when people sit in the backseat it closes the gap and I get almost NO bass up front, while everyone in back enjoys a lovely back massage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif

Shot of the armest you can see the leather-wrapped insulation material in the middle that's going to be cut out... would this make a sizeable difference IYO?

i told ya before that you could just cut out the center of that armrest real quick...but if you wanted to get crazy with your build its better on these lacs to just vent the rear deck...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Well, you save 3/4" of the total width but there are no sonic advantages. It's always better to have the center divider as it keeps turbulence down when the two port sections meet. The triangle in the back will help with that but a center divider would be much more effective and would allow only one side to be hooked up at a time with no ill effects.

True, I went this route due to space restrictions (the box has about 1/16" of clearance on either side)

I remember that, I might look into the rear deck once I get everything hooked up and ready to go //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Just picked these hefty bastards up from RadioShack

EDIT 1 And here is a shot of the trunk space please disregard the mess it is temporary! The little triangle on the bottom can be cut out and vented directly into the cabin, but the spaces to the left and right have steel supports with electronics bolted on to them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

EDIT 2 lilcarus... I'm thinking of cutting out the 6x9s as you did as well because they are completely muffled sitting underneath the carpet! Bad design IMHO! It's like listening to them through an apartment wall //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

You should fire them forward, and cut out that armrest hole. Seal the box off from the rear of the trunk with MDF falsies carpeted to match interior. You need to either remove those 6x9's, or build a box around each of them, so those moofers dont make them slap........
