So, how to get loud in a smallish trunk?

[silenkiller 10+ year member]

So I keep trying to figure out the best way to get pretty loud but not like pure spl (l7's) or anything. My trunk is pretty small, and I don't believe I can do more than 5-6cuft at max. So am i better going sealed and ramping up the watts or only going one single subwoofer ported? I've always had two subs so dropping to one seems weird to me hah.

I'll have ~2000 watts to play with. I was thinking two 15 Q's sealed, but even then I might not be able to fit it.

Do 2 12"s ported. Like Fi Qs or even BLs, or AQ SDCs. There are many options.

Yeah I was going to say - I could definitely fit two 10 inch Bl's and port them. So would two 10 inch Bl's ported be louder than two 15 inch Q's sealed? Hard to say?

2 Q's in that space is still kinda pushin it i think. I would say do two Q 12's ported in about 5-6 cubes, or BLs.

Yeah, I guess I was trying to guess if the two q's, being 15s, would be better than the two 12 bl's, ported. Pretty subjective I guess.

Furthermore the BP on q's is free right now hah, whereas its 40 bucks on fi's website. Then again if they are only going to see 1k a piece, I dont really need bp right?

Pontiac grand am sedan. Seats fold down, but I was thinking I'd like to be able to keep the seats and have the subs fire up thru the deck.
