[QUOTE="StupidLoud727, post: 3952268, member: 583889"] I have a setup I just installed with 2 alpine Type R DVC 4 ohm's running off a hifonics bx1000d at 1 ohm, and my bxi1606d will be arriving tomorrow to run 1600 watts at 1 ohm. Now I have them in a divided sealed box with about 1.1 ft^3 net for each sub, after divider and sub displacement. Now this box alone was a ***** to get in my trunk, and I'm still not getting the output I was looking for. Hopefully adding another 600 watts will give me a boost. But this leads me to my original question, what is the minimum net volume I would need per sub if I wanted to tune around 32 or 33hz ?(obviously a lot more than 1.1ft^3.) If you have ever seen the trunk of a 2000 mercury sable, you might have noticed the retards who designed it made sure it was nearly impossible to fit large objects into the ridiculously large trunk because of the ironically small opening. So what should I do? Add polyfil to the box I have now? Build two larger ported boxes and put them in seperately (this would be a *****)? Add a loading panel to the box I have now? Or try to design a very small ported box to house both subs? I'd say the max dimensions of my trunk opening are 14.5" deep, 30" wide, and MAYBE 20" deep. But because of how you have to angle a box to get it in, it must be at least 2 or 3" under the depth or height. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
