Sub placement, does it matter?

[QUOTE="MellowHype, post: 8253351, member: 640052"] Turns out i cant get either of those sizes in my trunk! i wasnt taking into account the fact that the seats slant as the height of the box rises, or the fact that i need to have room to mount my amps The true size ive come up with and i think its the best i can do with a simple box, is 33 wide, 19" height and 15" depth, then mounting the subs on top. I think it can be done but the subs might be tight, due to leaving room for the portwall (2.5 port, and second wall being parallel to 1st with 2.5" gap between), but two 12"s should fit. Ive made a mock up box from proplex sheets, of those dimensions and im going to see if it fits tomorow. That gives me a 3.6ft^3 31hz box before displacement, is that just too small for two R's? a 2.5" port seems small aswell? I can possibly gain another inch or two in height, giving me a max of 4ft^3, but i will have to lose my parcel shelf, and i dont want to display my system overnight etc, and covering it with a sheet just makes it obvious ive got something to hide. could anyone suggest what i could do about that? i was thinking of just covering it with a thin carpet that matches the cars interior to try to make it look like a shelf, and just remove it and tuck it behind the sub when i leave the car. This is what my boot looks like [IMG]http://www.hourcar.org.uk/htmlimages/cars/640x480/corsa_boot.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mcgoGr23H3T21ura974lmFQ.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
