[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8781062, member: 591582"] I think you should seal off the trunk and find the highest powered and xmax IB capable woofers you can fit. If the woofers are playing free air, your loudness for bass will come from cone area (Sd, usable piston area) and xmax (excursion, linear travel of cone). Find a woofer that has higher values of those two things, and a Fs around the lower frequencies that you want to play. Sealing off the airspace of the trunk from the cabin will make the trunk itself a very large sealed enclosure, which will keep lower bass notes from cancelling out from the phasing of the front/rear waves at lower frequencies. Good news is that IB (free air) type setups sound the most natural and are really efficient. If you want to go more hardcore, I would seal your trunk airspace from the cabin, and see if you can fit bigger woofers than 6x9's in the rear deck, if you're willing to go to that level. [/QUOTE]
