should I do. 1 Fi 18" or 1 DC 18". I have finally gotten a new car. Exactly same as my last(I had no choice). And I sold the two fifteens to a friend and I want a new setup. The problem with the fifteens was that they didn't fit in my trunk with the box I wanted. So I had to make a ghetto box and deal with it. Now I want 1 18 so I can port the box to the right dimensions and make it all nice. So I need some Ideas. I will get a drawing of my trunk up asap

I would think if you have enough room for an 18, you should have enough room for two 15's.

I would like to see a picture of your trunk.

I voted other. Go with the Sundown Nightshade 18's. I am partial to Sundown though. If your not interested in them then I'd say the Fi's.

Based on your drawing you have more then enough room for two 15's. How about a picture of the trunk opening?

edit: also measure the opening.

Give me some measurements of that box with the 15's. How wide is your trunk opening?

Trust me you have a lot more room in your trunk then I do and I have two 15's and two batteries and amp(s).
