dharris2488 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hey guys, not sure where to post this, so I decided here. Maybe a moderator will move it to where it needs to go. Anyway, I am about to start my new build with strapped Q2200's and 2 12" DSS Ethos. I want to seal off my trunk, as I'm sick and tired of all the rattles and everything else that goes with rear firing drivers. Here is my problem, I need to post a picture of my trunk, but the Toyota Camry has a small 6-8" oval cutout behind the backseats, then it opens up the the rest of the trunk. I'm hoping someone out there in SMD land has sealed off a Camry trunk like mine and wouldn't mind giving me some tips. Right now, I'm going to pull my current enclosure out and try to figure out a way to make a flat wall of sorts to somehow bolt the new enclosure on to. I don't know the best way to do this, so if anyone has any suggestions, or can send me a link that would explain how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it. I don't mind doing the reading and research, but it has been hell trying to find anything on a sealed off 2012+ Toyota Camry build. I don't know where to start and also don't know the best way to attach my enclosure to flat wall I intend on building. The other thing that is complicating this is, my port isn't in the center. It's on the driver side of the enclosure. I guess I can shove the box in as far as I can get it and start mounting wood and foam around the enclosure until it sealed off? There has to be a better way. Any help would be great.

youngbass98 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 most people would probably start cutting the metal firewall in the trunk , or you could make a new sub box with a center port 06 monte carlo 2 12 rockford p3s soundstream rubicon 2500 crescendo audio mezzo 6.5 ct sounds 125.4 execution audio and shca wiring 2 xs d3400 on stock alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My port length is sooo long that it's going to be tough to center it. Let me see if I can split the difference somehow. 2013 Toyota Camry SE 240a MechMan HO Alternator 1/0 Welding Flex Cable Big 3 CT Sounds 4000.1D Kenwood XR400-4 Mid/High Amp SoundQubed Q4-120 Mid Amp Infinity Kappa 6.5 components Kappa 6x9's for rear deck fill (coming out) (4) 8" PRV 8MB450's Set of SoundQubed SuperTweets (2) DSS Ethos 12's D2's @32.5hz (building 4th order enclosure) (2) SQ HDC3 10's @ 33.5hz (current build, loving them) Pioneer AVH-X4600BT 100 sq/ft Stinger RoadKill Sound Deadner 120 sq/ft QMat Sound Deadener (4) Juice Box Black Cherries Lots and Lots of feet of SHCA wire, along with 50' of Welding 1/0 2 Runs of 1/0 Positive front to back ToolMaker Everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundstream15 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Can you post some pics? Can it go thru the trunk or maybe you gotta build inside the trunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dharris2488 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Can you post some pics? Can it go thru the trunk or maybe you gotta build inside the trunk Yeah, I can post some pics, but I think If I frame out the hole with 2x4's, then fiberglass it to look nice, I can bolt the box up perfectly to it. I have a couple pictures on my phone. Let me try to download them and attach them. The oval hole is just large enough to handle the complete length of the box and the height is right at 15", which just so happens to be my port height. Is there any problem with the port being on one side or the other, rather than in the center? If so, i will definitely post some pics of the part I framed today, which wasn't much.

JEFFYBOI Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Them good ol Toyota trunk openings. I sealed off my trunk with my 2 12s firing forward. Hacksaw, grinder, and a dremel. Go through my build log and you can kinda see what i did. Sorry i didn't read everything, so your trying to accomplish having your port sealed firing into the cabin from the trunk? Maybe i dont understand.

JEFFYBOI Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Be aware if you building through that 6-8" opening and attaching your box its likely to effect the tuning of your box.

slowfkncar Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Honestly bro,your output will be greatly degraded with just a 6x8 opening. I have a simular setup. I gained almost 3db cutting that 6x8 into a 15x20. You can get away with port to one side, as long as your cone and port has no possible opening into the trunk. Must be deadened and sealed including the entire rear top deck. Any hole even just 1" big will degrade the output. Sealing off the trunk will mostly need some type of cutting/fabricating. If i were in your shoes,i would just trunk fire the subs unless your ready to get serious with output and soumd quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
