1. have no idea.

2. i wouldnt seal the trunk, put your seats down and face the subs towards inside the car.

3. i would run 1/0 into a distro block with 2 4gauge outputs.

4. i would use 3-4 4" aeroports and brace the inside of the box and resin it.

hope this helps, im not a SPL god haha. just thought i would throw my 2cents in

1. Get 2 kinetiks, or get 2 yellow tops.

2. find what ever is loudest

3. run 1/0 back with short short runs of 4ga out of distro block to your amps

4. Keep researching to find what other people have done.

do 3cubes NET, do 4 4" aero ports EXTERNAL.

Have the woofers firing up, one behind the other. Have the aero-ports firing towards the driver side, remember external. Tune to around 38-40hz.

Let er rip... burp around 43-46hz... or play some young jeezy.

What organization are you trying to compete in? This usually dictates in what direction your setup needs to take anyways.

what size subs, hell just slow dowwwwwwnnnnnn and give all the info you can.

a 145 out of 2 10's is not super easy in a trunk car. a 145 out of 2 15's is easier..

There's no 'formula' for any of the things you mentioned.

Bigger wiring is always better, tho.

The answer to your battery question depends on whether you're planning on doing ignition on or off competing.

You can make a slot pot as big as you want. And you'd have to play around with the placement of the ports to find the loudest in your car.

And even "SPL GODS" will tell you, there's no formula for SPL. Why do you think people get so bent out of shape when someone gets on here and asks what kind of numbers their system is going to hit?

It's trial and error. Every install. Every time. They build multiple boxes, reconfigure port placement, speaker placement, tuning, port size, seats up, seats down, stuffed animal in the backseat, stuffed animal out of the back seat, god only knows what else they're up to.

visors down or up... haha the meter is very weird like that.

Not an orginization. Just need to get 145 since the local shop here doesnt think i can get loud at all. Telling me I have bestbuy subs and am an idiot for putting them in a big box when a sealed would be louder they say. They want me to get metered and I will and show them they have nothing to compare to my car.

Gayest reason ever.

duct tape!

Is that what you mean ngsm?

Yes... though not sure if having the subs in the back... and the ports near the front would give you a gain or not.

Also, deadening your vehicle "usually" raise the ResonantFrequency of your vehicle... so I would hold off until after you try. Because... you'll wnat yours to remain lower.

I've found upfiring doesn't always work as well. At least in my car.
