HOw to find out how much room to build?

[b-hu$tle 10+ year member]

How do you figure out the amount of 'space' you have to work with in your trunk or behind your back seat like I have? I want to do two 18's but have been told I don't have enough room but there does not seem to be a way to actually tell me how much room I have.

P.S. I am trying to fit two 18" BTLs and I am pushing 2000 MOFSET watts at each one.

u won't have room for 2 18's ported in a trunk unless you do some serious modifications like pioneer-saturn.

measure

height X width X depth that will give you cubic inches, then divide that number by 1728 to get cubic feet

Because without MAJOR modification, I can't think of ONE single trunk car that'll easily have enough room for TWO 18's...

I'm working on getting one 18 in my grand am, and I'm at the verge of glassing my spare tire well and using that as some volume too...

1. You don't have enough space.

2. Your Pyramid amp does not do 4000 watts man. You will end up clipping the hell out of that signal and burning up any subs you buy.

did you read my post?

YOU MEASURE!

what are MOSFET watts?

anyhow you measure bru, BTL's need 6-10 cubes ported (Plus the port) PER SUB

thats 12-20 cubic feet.......plus the port.

6 per will work if you have a lot of power, which you do not.

He has a Pyramid amp but he says it's the new one that does rated power because it uses MOSFETS

bro do you even have enough width, most hatch cars are small to begin with, i mean figure 2 18s side by side you are gonna need atleast 40"
