Can I fit an 18 in my trunk?

is that a prefab box? your seats fold down right? turn the box around

yeah turn it around and push it all the way to the back bumper

It is a prefab box..Think if I had somebody on the forum make me a box I could get louder? I was thinking about turning the box around but havent found much time..and it does help a bit when the seats are folded down

i cant tell the depth in the pic but the box looks smallish

Back bumper as in closer to the license plate?

 

[thegreatestpenn 5,000+ posts]

yes closer to the license plate. a box with more port area will probably do you some good.

better box, keep seats down, consider forward firing and sealing it off from the trunk...

I gotta box for 2 12's already built that would do you some good, where in Indiana are you? i'm in columbus oh which isn't too far from some parts of IN

Would one big port in the middle be louder than having a seperate chamber? or just one big port anywhere?

not necessarily

bigger port, bigger box probably, maybe more power depending on what you have now, buy penn's box

Ive been wondering what type of box I need to get the loudest...Seems like there is so many options but im not too sure which one would be the best

 

[thegreatestpenn 5,000+ posts]

I know mine will be louder than that prefab*.

but there's so many factors that play a part. how much power do you have on tap (i.e. what amp you running)?

 

[jdawg 5,000+ posts]

big box, lots of port, common chamber, where the port is on the box wont really matter, between the subs or beside them

 

[thegreatestpenn 5,000+ posts]

oh wait, the box I have around the house is 36" wide. you said you can only fit 34" between the wheel wells.

Do you happen to build boxes? Amp wise right now I have a Hifonics 1608D but the Sundown 3000 I ordered should be here wednesday..although i wont be using the sundown for a month or two, it will be the$ main amplifier i will be sticking with

 

[thegreatestpenn 5,000+ posts]

yeah I build them, but there are probably people closer to you that can build you a box as well. if u wanna box built by me tho just LMK.

and you probably just need more power and to turn the box around. that will probably satisfy you at least for a little while

biggest box i was able to slide into the trunk of my neon asfar as height goes was 16". I've ran 2 12's in there....also 1 15" and also 1- 18".

U can unbolt the back seat and fit a taller box in but your best bet is to FG the spare tire well and buil dthe box in the trunk...maybe using external aero's shooting up throu the 6x9 holes in the rear deck

Darn, I was wanting something that would be removeable with 2 people..hmm..if i got a 15 it would probably be a DC Level 5...but I dunno if it would be as loud as i am looking for

i have a dc level 5 15 in a ford escort zx2 trunk and im doing 150.xx's
