[QUOTE="knowledgestick, post: 5869365, member: 603389"] Yeah the audiopulse stuff is EXTREMELY expensive, but their LMS 18'' woofers can handle being in like 4 cubic foot sealed box's aswell as big nice open ported ones. Just was curious if the BTL's will be anything like that at all, but i guess not. You must have been on the same wave length as me reciantly, lol. I am going to be getting a port done where the 6*9's are in the back above the back seats, and i am going to do a port where the arm-rest is in the back seats i think. I know my cars not a beemer or a benz, it is a nice car though and that has nothing to do with porting the cabin im fine with that, because when im done with this thing its going to look like a million bucks [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] and hopefully sound like it. I think i will still go ahead and get the BTL's and save the gear up and like you said, plan my install. I already have a pretty good idea of what i want to do once i get them in and how i want to configure them and what changes i want to make to the box. Basicly will just have to get a new head unit that is a 8v for sure i want to be able to feed both of the amplifiers that will be back there all the current they can take to reduce the level i need to put into the amplifiers. I would go with the wall, but i like having the back-seats and being able to kick the shit out of the people in the back lol [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] this car is more or less for my own personal prefferance im not into the hole car audio scene, ill take it to a competition now and again, but when it comes down to it i am building it for me. [B]The width and height of the area you are speaking of is...[/B] - the back rest is 24 inches high, from seat to top. - The back rest is 47 inches wide from passanger side to driver side. But inside the trunk, it is not that wide at the very back it gets smaller. Im not quite sure if that makes any sense, but yeah. I See what you are trying to say but i dont think it would work. I am going to raise the box up 7 inches the maximum i can raise it witch will add a good amount of extra cubic feet, and i am going to put the propper sized port in the box this time.
