what will be louder

[Veracious 10+ year member]

ya i dunno what to get, i just know i cant use a whole lot of room.. the depth is what im worred about.. i didnt measure yet but im guessin not any more then 12 inches deep with box.. length shouldnt be a problem, almost the length of the trunk but it will be closest to teh rear seats so a little room where the struts are is needed. and height may be a little problem i will have to measure. my type x is in the box that the 12 inch w7 reccomends from jls site, built exactly to spec. and i know for sure it defaintly isnt fittin there. the reason for little room is because of a air tank and compressors in the trunk for my air bags. i have a jl 1000/1 amp but i figured ill have to get something smaller maybe dependin on the setup.

im leanin toward 10 instead.. just depends what i can get to fit.. i have lots of length just not as much depth and height for the box

can u post a pic of your trunk? that way we can see how much space you have.

 

[Veracious 10+ year member]

ill get measurements and a picture sometime

 

[Veracious 10+ year member]

please excuse me for my horrible drawing lol..

as for what size of subs in the box i dunno what all will fit.. but i dont want to lose much performace compared to my current system which is a alpine type x with a jl 1000/1.

im not sure weither i will go sealed or ported, i dont even know what i have to work with i dont know much about the numbers or vocabulary of a system lol sorry, i just know how the buy the stuff and build the box and set everything up.

going ported, youll have to build a bigger box. Since your limited on space, you should go sealed. You wont have as much output. Im at work, so i cant see your measurement drawing.

i may be able to gain another inch - inch and a half on the top and bottem depths if i can try to redo my trunk floor and move the tank a little bit if this helps or gives me better options

here is a image if the trunk from the outside lookin in.. as you can see the box will have to be behind the tank, which i have measured and is in that wonderful image i made in paint.. likei said i can try to see what i can do and move the tank foward . i may have to make a new floor for the trunk with new holes and door for my air valves.

what is the dimensions of the space behind the tank? (closer to the trunk lid)

 

[Veracious 10+ year member]

im not sure , i wanted a clean look when you opend my trunk and i have a door there if you look in the pic to access my valves, i would have to redo my trunk setup and make a new floor.

 

[SVTLightning01 10+ year member]

it would help to know the dimensions from the edge of the door to the pumps and from the back of the trunk to the tank

you dont have alot of space, so this will be difficult.

 

[SVTLightning01 10+ year member]

going off that pic, you might be able to squeeze 2 small 8" boxes in there on each side of the door.

 

[Veracious 10+ year member]

i dont have enough room on the other side of the tank? (closest to the rear seats) i figured i could get something with the dimensions i gave you which i sent to your email

 

[SVTLightning01 10+ year member]

its possible, i cant see that great. you could possibly to a box behing there, but count on subs taking atleast 5" of mounting diameter, plus mdf (another 1.5") so youd have to have atleast 6.5 - 7" of space behing the tank.

 

[Veracious 10+ year member]

did you get that drawing i sent to your email? i have 13 inches behind the tank of depth on the bottem and around 9 on the top so the front of the box would be slanted

 

[SVTLightning01 10+ year member]

got the dimensions, no pic though. im trying to work the numbers.
