Thoughts on setup... advice.

[NissanKicker 10+ year member]

I'm on the verge of puttin' (18) 10" subs in my '99 Nissan Sentra.

... The enclosure is too tall for the trunk ( 24" ). So my last hope is inside the cabin.

* Note - Enclosure is 38"W x 24"D x 24"H - The subs are on 3 sides of the 6 sided sealed enclosure - Front, Top, Back *

Questions:

1) Would I just need to wall off my car?

2) What would make it sound the best?

Suggestions:

1) Completely sealing off the trunk from the cabin ( Making my cabin feel like an Ext. Cab Truck )

2) Making sure no air is escaping from the rear ( out the trunk - completely deaden the trunk, but not completely sealing off the trunk from the cabin )

3) Which direction would be the best choice?

* Top facing the trunk, Top downfiring, Top upfiring, or Top facing the windshield *

..... All comments and advice ( Negative & Positive ) are welcome..

I would go for a clamshell wall...ported in the back/middle...put the subs 3x3 on each face so theres nine a side and you should be good...

What kind of equipment?

I would put 2 GOOD subs in the proper size ported enclosure...

Also how do you plan to put 6 10's on a 38" wide surface????

yeah. you're gonna choke those subs unless you basically dedicate the whole rear end behind the front seats to a wall.

it's wide and long enough to do it.

Ding ding ding.

Or I would go with a clamshell in the back seat.

Kind like GMonkey's Expedition.
