Cost / Benefit for forward facing subs with sealed trunk

Exactly what the title says. My car does not have seats that fold down and from what I have heard is hard to get air to pass through to the cabin from the trunk. To remedy this I have already removed the stock 10" woofer from the rear deck. Now the question is, do I face the subs forward and seal off the trunk and have a box ported through the hole in the rear deck, or do I just have traditional rear facing subs and allow the air to still escape through that hole? Also, I will be getting Jl subs, and space is somewhat of a concern as I still want to use my spare tire. So the question is purely from a SPL standpoint which of the following scenarios would be best?


1 JL 12w6v3 forward facing with sealed trunk ported through hole in rear deck running off 500W.

1 JL 10w7v3 forward facing with sealed trunk ported through hole in rear deck running off 1000W.

2 JL 12W3v3 forward facing with sealed trunk ported through hole in rear deck running off 1000W.

2 JL 12W3v3 firing towards the rear in a traditional slot ported box running off 1000W.


My goals are as follows:


SPL as in I want to hear the bass both in the cabin and I want someone 2 blocks away to hear it as well

Clean install with minimal amount of gear showing

usability of my spare tire and at least a decent amount of the trunk


Those three options are the only ones I am considering at this point. Any opinions??

Cause you being heard from blocks away is way to get the bitches.

Look for your car make and model on here and youtube and see what others have done and you might find what you're looking for. Mods aren't going to do anything about that post because theres nothing offensive about it except to you. And he's right. That shouldn't be your goal to annoy others "two blocks away", it should be to satisfy your listening tastes. It's the Internet. Don't get butthurt because someone says something condescending to you.

getting loud in a trunk car ain't easy

ported through rear deck would be best if you can't fold down those seats

general rules of loud are bigger enclosure, more cone area, more power

Thanks. So what about magnet size, can that make up for cone size? For instance, 12w3 at 1000W there is more cone size than a 10w7 also at 1000W, by a large margin, but when looking at magnet size of the w7's it is much larger than the W3's.
