Upfiring question....box height

[wj94 10+ year member]

What is the minimal amount of clearance from the top of the box to the trunk top for an upfiring box? I've got 14.5-15" MAX trunk height to work with for my two 15" Avalanches coming in. My plan was to put them in a box 11" high (9.5" internal height), leaving me ~4" in clearance for the sub to move. I realize the sub won't be moving that far, but I want to make sure I won't be hindering performance by having that little space above the driver. Anyone know about this?

You won't be...just make sure the sub can't touch the trunk lid.

It should be fine.

But why fire them up?

i would say turn it all three ways, and see which way sounds better.

Hard to mount a 15.25" diameter sub rear-firing when I only have 14.5-15" in total trunk height . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
