anyone doing 150+ out of the TRUNK of a car?

Well, I have a 1986 Caprice I am working on, right now it's 3 10's vented box all sealed off into the car, no action into the trunk, seat in place, on a SAE-1000D. I have not put it on the TL yet, I suspect outlaw around 140-142ish, but it's only 3 300rms 10's and a SAE-1000D. New setup will either be 2 heavy duty 10's and a SAZ-4500D and a MUCH bigger port, or 3 heavy tens and same box as now (3x9 port) or I have a box plan for 6 10's fired into the car, not the trunk with a big *** port in the middle... Problem is I am trying to actually KEEP my trunk space. My current box doesn't go much past the start of the trunk lid it's all under the rear deck. The 6 10's would work no prob but would go further into my trunk space... I think 150+ out of the trunk is just a matter of sealing it off to where it all goes in the car and having enough cone/power. Shouldn't be too hard, just got to be a little uncoventional, too many people lose mad dB by facing their subs backwards in their trunk, lots of cancellation going on in there.
whats the difference when facing subs backwards??? and 6 10s in the trunk of a Caprice would be flat out NASTY!!!

This is good for 151s in the trunk of a Civic SI (18" Solo X on a Memphis 4K):

32 hz. Kills the lows, but need more power/excursion, limited by subs and amp right now, subs barely moving but anymore power they wouldn't take it thermally... gonna upgrade a little at a time, I had to make sure that it would work first, so I got 3 cheap 10's and a baby amp to try it out with. Tuning a little higher would yield easier numbers on the TL, but not worth it IMO, I like to listen to music on my shiz, not just 50-80hz burp tones.... LOL... I am seriously considering the 6 10's box.... but I think I will try one of the other's first so I have a good baseline for comparison of gains from one setup to the next.

 
you have any kind of special box? or? I understand a box makes the build just haven't figured it all out completely..

and ya I will never tune over 33hz not looking for strictly competitions..

I am seriously considering the 2 15s for 525 shipped idk if I could do better.. I could do 10s but I wouldn't know which ones or where to start.. I have a max height of 18.5 so idk how I would box them.. maybe a semi clam shell but a sideways one..
