Trunk Box Build

[I'mPoor:(]

I have not run into the issue of height in a trunk until now, i'm doing a early 2000s mustang and i'm limited to 11.25 inches of height. I am installing a HDS312 so I decided to go sub up and port back, like is common in hatches. My only issue is this is a trunk. Is it going to effect the spl enough to matter. This is going to be a straight daily driver.

Here are the box specs.

How far from the top is it?

When it is inside the trunk there is 3 inches between the sub

That's really close. Especially when you're doing port back.

Any ideas ?

Seal off the trunk, subs forward, port either forward or through deck. Or 4th/6th order through ski pass if you have one.

this guy wants to be able to pull the box out when ever he needs to. Other wise I would be building it from the inside and this would not be an issue. The sub has to be pointed up. Should I drop the height an inch or so and for more clearance of the sub? Lose some port area too. That way i'm around 2 cu feet net?

You could angle the front baffle to fit the sub forward. Like a wedge box.

then it messes with my slot port, guess I can do a rectangle port.

Actually it still messes with my port area. Screw unsymmetrical ported boxes lol.

Can I side port and get the same result as port back?

Side port was 100% successful. Customer was very happy.
