What kind of dimensions are you working with? I wouldn't think an old Acura has a whole lot of trunk space, so you might be better off with something like a pair of 12's to fit in there.

16" tall, 19" deep and 30-34" wide is about what i've got to work with, because it's got a pretty small opening..

so your looking for sub up I would guess. Your largest box is only 4.7 before any displacements.

sub up deffinatly. and i'm guessing thatd be sealed?

 

[pro-rabbit 5,000+ posts]

what sub?

 

[Funkypup>You 10+ year member]

DC Sound labs Level 3 18".

Then yep, that would be sealed.

well, i have the hole behind my arm rest cut out from doing a blow through with my last box, could i just do an aeroport coming out of there?

you could, but that box is still very small when your looking at doing an 18".

4.7 is before the sub and bracing displacements.

hmmm. well would a sealed application be possible? if it needs 5.5 ported, could it perform in less sealed??

it would be "ok" in that enclosure sealed. Not sure of the overall displacement of the driver and it also depends on what kind of bracing you use.

yeah, i just really want to run an 18, and with the lvl 3 i dont have to get a new amp. and on the 4.7 are you talking just a rectangle box?

I went off exactly what you said was your max h x w x d in your post earlier. I would think you will have better luck with something smaller, but if you don't mind that setup then go for it.

well, im at school atm, but my trunk has an odd shape. would an aeroport work if i could get the box to around 5 cubes after sub and bracing displacement?
