Fi SSD

That's plenty of room for them sealed.... Fi calls for .2 to .6 ea. sealed, and .9 to 1.5 ea. ported at ~33hz... its a little tight ported but a little creativity could get them working well... I'm not sure how your e8's perform, but you could always try the SSD's and if you don't like them sell them pretty easily around here and try something else.... I'd prolly even give you what you paid for them if you didn't like them....

yeah, but i don't want sealed... i wanna be loud. I think you're right though, with some aero ports and a very tightly designed box i might be able to get it to work.. would probably have to use 1/2" mdf with some good bracing... and hope the SSDs don't hit the back of my seats...

is there no space under the rear seat, i'm not familiar with the tacoma's... if there was space under you could always raise the rear seat and fit with some more ease... or maybe even move the seat forward an inch or so, that wouldn't take that much work and could add quite a bit to the available room... I dunno man, there's alot of creative ways to fit tough stuff...

nah, no room under the rear seats..

and heres my current box for the 8's

**** nice box.... how much room is in it, how many cuft?.... looks like plenty of room would be available for two 10" SSD's...... screw it, just loose the back seat!

 

[statonburrell 10+ year member]

theres only about 1.8 cuft in that box..

looks bigger than that.... the carpeted part under the seats looks decorative.... would it be removable?? it doesn't look solid.... maybe extend the box under from the back making something like an "L" shaped box?

well the part of the seat you actually sit on flips forward.. then the part your back rests on folds down to where the part you sat on was.. so basically the carpet could be cut out.. but theres some storage thing under the part you sit on and it would probably look bad with no carpet.. I can get you some install pics tomorrow if you want..

I'm just thinking with a little enginuity that a person could come up with some room under the seats and still make it look factory or close to it....

maybe if I fiberglassed the rear wall of the box.. that would def. add some airspace and some mounting depth..
