Getting louder with limited space, how can it be done?

[JoeK 10+ year member]

I have an 03 bonneville and right now i have my Fi BL 15" in a 3.5cuft box. This box is almost the biggest i can fit through the hatch.

My question is, whats the best plan of attack to get louder? I was thinking maybe GPI attitude 12s (two?, can fit them in 3.5cu) or Fi BTL 12s. My problem here is the space i have to place a box in. my single 15" now is taking up all the **** room. I wish i had a jeep or suv >_>

12s would probably be your best option. Some sundown zv3s or ns or whatever meets the power you are running.

You can put 2 sundown 12s in a 3.5ft3 after wood and sub displacement. At least. Thats what I've read a lot of people have done.

More power. I'm in the same boat on space

I'm thinking 4 10s would probably work too, but that would require much more power than 2 12s would at the same respective volume if given same brands. Like i said, im leaning toward BTL n3 12s

but with 2 12s he could run more power and have more cone area

You sound like me. Try to get louder with out spending alot of money $$$. I had some success but hit a wall. I may have like $675 total in mine. But im about to drop $ for a recone. Should gain a couple dbs from it, but i shall see.
