Alright, so I know this is posted about a lot on here but I haven’t been able to get a clear answer for my situation exactly. So I currently have two evl-15s facing the rear of my car which is great cause they hit really hard. I have a friend with 12s in a one cabin car with the subs not separated in a trunk and they sound and feel so good. Im looking to get a new car in the near future most likely a Camaro and I wanna know if I should just toss them in facing the rear and deal with the obscene trunk rattling or if I build a ported box that seals the subs into the cabin so I can feel it in the air more. I don’t know if I explained this very well but I just don’t know if I should make getting a car with no separation between trunk and cabin a priority or if I can get the most out of my subs in any car.

The last newer Camaro I looked at the dude was trying to fit a kicker 18 and the trunk looked way too small with not enough depth if I remember the trunk correctly looks like you would need a pretty shallow box maybe 2 in wide and 11 in tall if it was me I would probably just do a band pass with a single port up through the rear deck hitting the window and seal off the deck

32 wide not 2 it's easy to put a tape measure in there and see what you've got to work with put those measurements up here and people can tell you more

Yes, time to move some stuff for sure. Have a little mini CA warehouse in the garage!

Hertz makes good speaks as does Focal. Often times how "open" a system will sound depends on the vehicle's interior. Big wide dash boards tend...
