err but your gonna need a cool custom fibreglass box cos you got no room?$500

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif Im not spending 500 dollars on a box. 200 is doable though.

BTW here is what my trunk looks like. http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/5/web/677000-677999/677137_20_full.jpg Seems like i can fit a big box in there as long as it is wedge shaped. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You should find a ***** Am forum somewhere, I bet you could find a 12" box that someone wants to sell pretty cheap that will fit perfectly in your trunk.

A 12 inch box that someone custom made for an RL-P? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif Doubt it. If im gonna have to buy a new box, its gonna be 100% perfect for this sub, if i do it im gonna do it right.

Here are the trunk specifications.

28" long(left to right)

12" wide(front to rear)

17" deep(bottom to top)

Think it has any potential for a 2 cube box?

Also, is it alot harder to make a wedge shaped box, becuase thats the only way ill get a big box to fit in my trunk if you see in that pic i posted

And run into the same problem i have right now? No thanks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif If it actually is my box and not some other problem that is severely crippling the output of my sub, no way will i buy another prefabbed non-ported box.

looking at your car,im wondering if by someweird freak of physics your getting weird *** cancellation off the glass up/down up down front back??

have you ever tried turning your sub box backwards? or even flipping it upside down??

try it please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

otherwise i bet you can get a 2 cubic in there............... but 2 cubes on an rl-p is gonna be excellent sq? sounds like waht you really care about is being louder than your friends? so you might wanna 2 cube ported?

Before you get a new box, why don't you take it to a good local audio shop and have them check out why your setup isnt getting as loud as its supposed to? It's kind of hard to tell what the problem is just over the forums, w/o pics or anything.

It's worth a try. Don't let them sell you any expensive adapters and stuff, but try a few shops and im sure someone who knows what theyre doing can help you out.

I want good SQ, but i mainly listen to rap so i want pleanty of SPL as well, but i do love great sound quality. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif And thats not my car, thats just some random google pic, my sub is firings sideways into my trunk corner, not glass.

Well, i brought it to one shop, and they checked out everything and said everything was wired fine, and the reason it didn't sound good was becuase the sub sucked and couldn't handle the amount of power i was giving it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

Heres a simple lesson.

Do you think the RL-p is the only 12" sub that runs optimally in a 1.25cuft enclosure? I dont

Do you think someone along the way has built a 1.25 cuft enclosure for a ***** am that they maybe selling? I do

Check ***** Am forums for single 12" enclousres that are being sold. the RL-p has pretty common 12" box specs.

Im just trying to make this as easy as I can for ya.

Read that, maybe that will be a good starting point for you. There are people out there that build boxes for your type of car and know what they are doing.
