[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8764009, member: 591582"] I would make your hatch mechanism stronger, if you can. I had to basically leave my hatch plastic interior cover off and/or run a long wire to manually pop the hatch. I had 2 18's doing high 140's, and it wrecked my Explorer hatch quite badly. I also know some other people with loud trunk or SUV systems that have done this: get a long metal wired (braided) and attach that wire to the mechanical part of the trunk hatch locking mechanism. Have it in a place where you can pull on that wire if you aren't able to pop your trunk in any other way. I used to be fat, so before I figured this out, I always had to find a skinny guy to climb over my 2 18's box and pull the back plastic panel off and manually tug on the wire connected directly to the hatch release. Would've been much easier with a long wire directly connected to it. You could do like what was recommend to do a bandpass or types of ported design to fire into the cabin, but the box will take up more space. It would keep pressure out of the trunk, mostly, if you did fire into the cabin and seal the cabin off from the trunk airspace. What vehicle do you have? [/QUOTE]
