bass4yoface Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi all, never really built a custom box before, but i think it's time to go down that path. My cars trunk is so small , anyone that has had a mustang knows this. My question is would an upfiring( subs aimed up towards the trunk lid port aimed rear work? I want a well rounded box that will play all kinds of music well but also bumps hard. I'm dealling with two 12's that i want to put in my trunk. i have them in seperate prefab boxes right now. I need some thing that will play low and loud but still be able to fit in the trunk, an up firing sub box design is the only way i can think of getting some decent volume in there for two 12's and still possibly be able to slide the box in from the inside of the trunk , the height of the box is a real issue here. Any ideas? please help.

OrionStang Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Im going to be honest, those Type-Rs do well in sealed enclosures. I had 2 of them (12's) in a 2000 mustang and it got loud throughout a very wide range, 28-60ish hz sounded really good. Just my opinion here, but I don't see a proper 'removable box fitting in there for 2 12's. You could build in the trunk, but are you ready for a permanent enclosure?

The sealed box was just under 1 cube per sub, and it could be squeezed in through the trunk opening. Firing up, your trunk lid will take a beating. Mine sounded good that way, but sucked ass on the meter. If you plan on competing, it will be fine. Just deaden the trunk please, kill as much rattle as possible.
