More planning... For the moment I'm planning a realistic "budget" build with a DC XL, 18". Planning on running it on a Q1-2200D at 1ohm.

Just looking for opinions on my box design. Still learning, open to all constructive criticism. Looking to play low 30's with some authority. Daily driving box.

EDIT: Updated designs posted further down.

Damn. Thank you sir. I'll have to go remeasure but I think that will fit the trunk, may have to build it in the trunk though :/

Just wondering. When it comes to recommended specs, DC says 6 cubed for ported. Should I be looking at net volume over gross volume?

Thanks again.

6 cubes net just like the Torres I posted. Sometimes a box can be placed inside by removing the backseats so check if you can.

One of my friends has that exact car and the hole behind the seats is just a small if not smaller than the trunk opening

Yea I'm trying to avoid removing my back seats, but if I need to then I will lol. Anything for good sound!

I think he means just taking the rear seats out and putting the box in your trunk from there
