[QUOTE="pattyweb, post: 1484987, member: 566061"] I'm trying to build a sub enclosure into the back right quarter area of my SUV. I use the third row a lot and can't afford a big box. And there's a rear most flip up that I don't want a small box sitting on top of. The rear right quarter has a big door panel for accessing the tail lights and a bottom trapezodial piece that comes out for getting into the space below the rear deck. I've fashioned a front/top face for the sub enclosure that fits nice and tight into that back corner against the plastic trip and rear wheel well. The face completely covers those openings so the space behind those would be a part of the 'box'. In total, I think I'm at around 1cuft. As far as I can see, everything is pretty well sealed except for some vents along the top of the right side trim near the rear right window. So some of the sound wave/pressure will work it's way there. It's possible I could stuff that space so that it's not as connected but not sure how well that would be. Should I be worried? Obvisouly, it won't be 100% sealed. More like a very badly ported box? Considering I have no sub at all right now, I'm hoping it overall will still represent an improvement in sound quality.
