Fiberglass help for 300ZX

I need a fiberglass ported enclosure for my 2 JBL P1220D II subs. Two ports 3" in diameter and 13.31" long but my trunk isnt very big so any ideas would be helpful on how to make the box fit in the trunk. Box needs to be 4.5^ft3

Use every little nook and cranny. Contour the enclosure to the exact dimensions of your trunk/ hatch. That's the great part using fiberglass. You can use portions of your trunk that would be unused with an MDF box. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But since im using the trunk/hatch for my enclosure and amps where should i relocate the rear speakers since they are in the trunk/hatch right now. I was kinda thinking down the center in between the two front seaters and angle one woofer towards driver and other towards passenger but idont know how itd sound. Im getting Infinity 60.5CS components and going to need fiberglass enclosure for them too......any ideas are helpful.....

I'll have to goto the dealer and look at one of your cars I'm not too familiar with them. I'll get some ideas and post back . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

the center area behind the E-Brake and shifter......right before the trunk....its a slanted angle.......thats where i was thinking of putting the rear component woofers and angling each one towards a seat

He!! man, where is the room at //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Seriously though I wouldn't even bother with rear fill in that small of an area. I would build some door pods. Imaging might be a problem considering the seats would be in front of the speakers. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

So do you think just put both components in the doors? or what

Yeah, that's what I would do. Your sound stage would be alot better. And in that small of a space you wouldn't even miss rear fill. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
