[QUOTE="Kam311, post: 8586463, member: 673335"] I've tried this. I built a box for a sundown SA 6.5sw that mounted to the rear deck. The sub was in one 6x9 hole and the port came out of the other 6x9 hole. In theory it was awesome, in actuality it was complete poop. There were so many rattles that I could never chase them all down. It only played a few notes beautifully and I couldn't turn the volume up very high because it would rattle the rear deck like crazy. Plus it wasn't that loud. Before I cut holes in my rear deck mat (which would have helped with many of the rattles) I decided to unbolt the box and see how it sounded just sitting in the trunk like a normal box. Omg, it was night and day! It sounded so much better across the entire bandwidth and it was deeper and louder. So I scrapped that idea and built a nice box for the baby sub that just sits in the trunk. It's way better sounding. Having that experience I wouldn't even try that again on a rear deck. Maybe you could chase down all the rattles and eliminate them, but at the time it seemed overwhelming and impossible, especially considering that I could have gotten a bigger sub on a lot more power for all the cash that deadening and strengthening my rear deck was going to cost.
