how much room do you have in that hatch area...how many ft^3 for a box?

From experience, give it more power. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

not alot, the box in there now takes up the entire hatch area with just enough room to squeeze in that hc600 battery... i would guestimate its 4-4.5 cubes net? its a t-line though so alot of it is taken up by port + woofer

you could fit a pair of 10's or a single 12, mayby a 15 if it needed a small box (4.5 cubes MAX)

sweet. also I saw you were bummed about having to rewire the sub. To avoid that in the future, put in enough terminal cups for every voice coil the sub has. For example, dual voice coil sub would get 2 terminal cups. quad coil get 4 terminal cups, yadda yadda. Then all wiring could be done outside the box. Sweet sub, I know it'll rock with 2 saz1500's

If you have 4.5 cubes available, rig yourself with an SPL-15 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

I find the dual connector terminals to work well in situations like this. It will allow you to change configs in 10 seconds.

[mrogowski 5,000+ posts]

[liftedcj7on44s 10+ year member]
