So lets say in the trunk of a decent size car, you think cone area would take it then?

I have the space for basicly any 1 18 or 2 10s.

For a Honda Accord sized car I would say 2) 12s would have the most potential.

18s are very large and need a large enclosure, I think its too much to operate properly in a trunk.

ANd yes, there is a such thing as too much cone area.

You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

YOU JUST LOST THE GAMER.I.P.

I am kind of liking the 2 10s idea simply on the 18 could possibly be too much for my trunk in a sense.

I have to face the sub up and I know thats def not ideal for gettin numbers.

With 2 10s or 2 12s I would be able to face forward or backward.

I tried reading forevrbumpins quarter wave thread but could really understand it.

Anyone care to dumb it down? lol

a single 15 is good too.

An 18 is usually too tall to fit straight without doing an angled baffle and angled baffles can hurt SPL

Nice thread btw, never been on that forum.

Never thought about it as the cone scooping and pushing air.

I know I lose alot of output by facing the sub up at the trunk lid.

Anyone have any insight on quarterwaves? maybe for some 10s?
