Amalan Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 wait why sealed? you should do a crx style box since your car is essentially a crx edit: sorry btw crx is subs up ports toward the hatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civichatch Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 I have like no room to work with. I want to keep my rear seats and ther is only 18 inches from the back seat to the hatch. And only 32 inches wide. Of room to play wit. So ya sealed is my only option for right now plus this is my first box and i watna learn. I will be making a ported box in july. This is temproray.

Bryan Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 lol if you have no room to work with why did you go for an 18? should have gotten a 15 true but i would go with 18..louder ftw, but would you consider tubes for ports instead of the rectangle..it would save some room MMM BASS OATS..ITS WHAT I HAVE FOR BREAKFAST 2 AudioQue HDC3 18'' subs Rockford Fosgate T1 6.5 mids MMATS 2000.05 XS Power D1200 Knukonceptz 1/0 Pioneer Premier DEH-P490iB " Shit I can roll a blunt better than those bitches in Havana!"- Uncle Elroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick824 Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 IMO a 15" with a properly built ported box will be louder than a sealed 18". What are the overall dimensions you have to work with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
