kbreudi Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) Quick question. I have two RE MT 18"s that i am planning on putting in the trunk of a 98 catera. I MUST build two seperate boxes because i wont be able to fit one large box in all at once. So my main question is, what is tha absolute MINIMUM space for each woofer? I plan on porting both. My MAX box size for each woofer is going to be 4.5 cubes BEFOR port and sub diplcment. So will this be possible? thanks EDIT: Ok so i did some google sketch up pics of exactly what the box should look like. The cut outs in the rear are fort the shock towers and the exaust hump. The total net cubes is 12.3 with out the port. So now i need help on were to place the port. I want tunning at about 38Hz. The port MUST either go on the top, sides, or end of the box that faces the cabin, i can also fold down by back seats so thats why i was thinking about doing it there. Basicly with subs up what way will be the loudest? Here is what the trunk looks like, again this is NOT a pic of my car. Here IS a pic of my trunk with my current boc pulled out..The spaire tire location is were batts are going Thanks for the help guys....O and BTW, as soon as this build is planned out, it will start so give some help, and receive some build pics lol Edited December 31, 2007 by kbreudi Quote TEAM SUNDOWN 4 Nightshade 15"s 2 Sundown SAZ-4500 8 Deep Cycle batts 1998 Cadillac Catera SPLMAX CUP 2008 Fourth Place Overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REVOK1NER Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I Don't know what the suggested box size is for the MT but even if what you have to work with is smaller it is still possible you just won't be getting as much as you can out of them. It will still sound pretty good though.

David Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 you can go down to about 4.5 cubes per sub after displacement, but to get the output you want your gonna have to UP the power to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charger Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Small Box - High Power Large Box - Low Power But I wouldn't do anything less than 5 cubes minimum or you're just defeating the purpose of having 18s.
