Please help, is trunk big enough for these subs?

I have found out that the listed trunk for the eclipse GS-T that I am getting is 16.6 cubic feet, is that enough to hold 4 type Rs in a ported box?

You gonna be building a fiberglass box or just plain wood one(building inside of trunk or outside)? If just a regular wooden box, I'd see what the max. specs are for your box(total trunk space doesn't mean awhole lot.) Are they gonna be sealed or ported? Sealed, you should haven't a problem.

As said, it will be a ported box. And anysuggestions you guys could make would be great. Also lets keep in mind that on the sides there are little humps where the tires are I believe, so please suggestions are greatly needed.

Here is a link with a trunk of an eclipse that is the same model as the one I am going to get if that gives you guys some ideas of what I can do.

fiberglassing = basically using any available air as the enclosure. that link u posted? that was a fiberglassed enclosure. see those wild curvy sub setups at car shows? fiberglass. if u know what ur doing and done right, you can shock yourself and people with what u can do with the stuff.

if you're not gonna glass then you better head to a dealership/someone with that car and do some measuring. Also why you need 4 12s in a hatch?

yeah pretty much, i dont recall the "trunk" in that car being too tall, you may have to do like a "lolita" setup
