Jextel Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 i dont want to bash in any way but what is loud to you? Because i did my setup just like this and it wasnt as nearly loud the usual way of porting into the trunk.. also i bet if you turn that box around seal the sub box from trunk and then seal the rear deck it will be 2x louder..all you need a afew cans of expanding foam and some 3/4 mdf... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3042878TEAM DEADLY HERTZ "GET LOUD OR DIE TRYIN"only the loudest will survive.
