Can you fit a sealed off 18" in a sedan trunk?

[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8463800, member: 658055"] I have a new SA-18. It's my first "serious" sub and it's absolutely gorgeous. Problem is I had intended to put it in a minivan, but the transmission on this vehicle is on its way out and it's not worth replacing. When it does finally go I'll put the money towards a new (older used) car. There's really no reason I'd need a large vehicle aside from occasionally moving large items (and I can borrow another car for that). I was thinking about a four door sedan, probably Honda or Toyota since parts for those are abundant, cheap, and well maintained ones last forever. I would very much like to do a sealed off, forward-firing, ported build behind the back seats, but I'm worried about space constraints, primarily the height, especially the height of the opening between the trunk and cabin. I know volume-wise I'd have to sacrifice a lot of the trunk and I'm okay with that. I know without the exact car it's just guessing at this point, but can I make such a build work? Has anyone seen this done with an 18"? Barring having the cone facing into the cabin head-on, is there anyway is can be tweaked to make this work? This isn't remotely urgent, but it is something I want to think about going forward. Thanks [/QUOTE]
