book says best recomendations for 750watts was like 1.5 cubic feet.

Take that book and toss it.... put them in a 3 cubic foot box each.

I have messed with a few trunk cars that were louder with the trunk open. It was fixed by doing a sub forward and port to the side setup.

why 3 cubes? and i solved some of the problem and made it louder i stuffed fabric in all the places where the air was free flowing thru then cut a hole in the trunk floor and used a heat duct thing and made an elbo that went to the rear bumper to keep water out then installed a few layers of chicken wire. i know it sounds ghetto and "rigged" but this was the only thing i could think of to do. it has a beautiful tone to it now and its nasty loud (To Me) i believe it was a sucess and ill take some pics to show you guys. thanks for the help.

its a sealed box must subs sound better is small sealed boxes then large sealed boxes

Subs are like titties, They need to come in pairs because ones and threes are just wrong, and larger amounts will always draw a crowd, we all have our favorite sizes, but the bigger ones are more fun to watch move. :D

Words to live by.

But generally speaking they aren't as "efficient." I'm taking that to mean small boxes produce tighter sound, but it isn't very loud.

You may be offended by the above. Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive.
