[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8483787, member: 650438"] Keep in mind this is with sound quality emphasized, not spl. You want clear sounding bass not muddied bass, to have that you need proper phase alignment via subwoofer loading and positioning. With the subs in the middle of the car firing forward towards the cabin/the back of the seats will have all your output and bass go to the trunk and you have zero output in front. Basically the front cabin will be a dead zone. Thats how loading works, you want the sub to fire towards the wall furthest from you and the bass reflects back. However if the subs are in the middle of the vehicle firing to the back, the waves will cancel each other out as well. Read this please for visual help of what i'm trying to explain. [URL="http://www.teamrocs.com/technical/pages/aiming.htm"][B]http://www.teamrocs.com/technical/pages/aiming.htm[/B][/URL] What you can do is build a sealed box in the area between the wheel well and back trunk. Sort of like this but one on each side. Your height will might need to be a bit higher and your width will take up some space and you'll need to use poly fill to make up for some cubic feet but this loading is way better than the subs in the middle of the car firing out of phase. each side will be around 16 height(if you can do more, you can decrease width), 10 width 17 depth with 1 LB of poly fill.
