Need a little advice on subwoofers designed for smaller enclosures.

[CalBass86]

Well first off I own a 04 Mustang. So you know it's hard to fit anything in that trunk. I can fit two 12's in individual boxes in there however the boxes themselves aren't to big and sealed at that. I need advice on 12 inch subwoofers that work well in small enclosures. I was looking at the Pioneer TS-W3002D4. They claim to be designed for small spaces. Any input or suggestions?

Sound stream stealth?

Do 1 Polk audio 15...only needs 1.5 sealed.

Rather than stuffing two 12s in small sealed boxes I would consider two 10s or even 8s that could be run ported.

And generally speaking, subs with a high EBP (above 50) do well in small ported boxes while subs with a low EBP (below 50) do better in sealed boxes.

EBP is derived by dividing the driver's Fs by its Qes.

Do you think a ported box for two 10's would fit in the trunk of a mustang?

Look into the SSA DCON. They have great specs for small ported enclosures if you want to get some extra bass over what you already have without a much bigger box. You could probably even do 12's if you went with some aeroports, seriously. SQ will still be great because they have such a low Q it won't get boomy or bad sounding, just nice and smooth and low lol. What's the biggest external dimensions you can fit?
