How to not take up the entire trunk with a sub?

[PuZo 10+ year member]

no what you have is what ID recommends. do you have the user manual, ID decided to not upload the t/s specs to their new website.

Nope, this box was probably built about 2 years ago, in fact, I think I have it saved in my pm's somewhere.

I found some t/s in winisd already.

did you measure your trunk to see what fits? it would be much easier to draw it up then try to explain it.

I'll go measure it right now.

These are the dimensions if you literally dropped the box straight down and then slid it all the way back it would fit.

H - 13"

L - 38"

W - 19"

Looking back, if my box was re-arranged a bit, I think it would fit...?

H - 17"

L - 39"

W - 16.5"

you only have 13'' high? what car is it? That sort of screws this box up as one has to be inside the box

It's a 96 Camry. The actual height inside is bigger, but it's the opening that screws it up.

this is how you do it, unfortunately the height of your car doesn't allow that. would need 15'' high.

Smaller subs, sealed boxes, run a single, etc. You have multiple options.

Is this a bandpass or still ported?

I'm thinking 10's would be best? How much smaller would/could the box be?

it's isobaric, it uses the force of both subs to shrink the size of the enclosure. it's an old school SQ design.

How does it sound? Is that built specifically for my subs though? That's my whole issue with all these boxes. The one I have now is just a generic box and the one that I have built(but is too big) is ideal. Is the one you made in line with specs provided by ID?

Get subs that require smaller cubic feet?

This, or just go sealed. Generally speaking, you're going to lose a bit of output, but you're gonna have more space.

Switching to 10's would cut the box size nearly in half... 12's require a TON more volume, for minimal gain.
