Hatch Help

[g6ryder 10+ year member]

Alright today I bought a '13 Chevy Sonic LT Hatchback. Not my primary vehicle it's the wife's but time will be split driving it. Question is what works better with a hatch port/box/sub orientation? Will be keeping this system light. 1 12" most likely in a 4th. Already know all gear that will be used. I have the 7" Chevy "my link" unit that will be staying factory may upgrade components later I will see how they hold up. RF 360.2 will be used for processing since I already own it.

Most of the time same as trunk sub and port back or sub back port side

Good luck fitting a fourth on there small hatch

Also the Chevys alt only charges when you are on your brakes driving it doesn't get above 13.8 iirc but I think it is a 130amp alt on that little 1.4. Be careful on amp selection cause the car will charge to 15.5 occasionally some amps don't like this

I ran 1500w in my Cruze without big 3, extra batt, stock everything without much light dimming

Im not set on 4th open to more options. Not wanting to add any batteries or anything. Amp will most likely be a AT 1200.1
