R_Mac_1 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Are you going to wall it or something because I don't see you fitting 2 15s or 3 12s in the trunk of a Cavalier.

This^^^^^^^^ Unless you are really handy with fiberglass and want to build a more or less permanent box in your trunk its not gonna happen in the trunk with the 15's. I know 2 12's in the trunk of my GrandAm take up the majority of the trunk. The largest I could go is maybe about 5.5-6 cubic feet, Max.

Was thinking about Half walling it, and i had 4 12's in my old cavalier, 2 facing trunk 2 facing forward backseat folded down at all times tho and as far as the 15's i am looking to build a permanent box with fiberglass if i go that route, only problem will be figuring out ports if i go that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Building Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I know this may be hard to hear, but just do 1 big boy 15 right now. That way, you can put it in a properly designed enclosure and, with some power, will knock the trunk off that cavilier. Later, if you decide to upgrade, you can get another 15 and amp and stuff it in the trunk despite what everyone thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Building Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Any ideas what i should get for one 15 and an amp Ben? ^^This. Lanzar OPTI 1533D (3,000 watts RMS) dual 1.2 ohm coils on an AP 30001D (3,000 watts RMS at 2 Ohms). $550-ish shipped for sub and amp together. Another $200 on wires and batteries and you'll have serious bass. Just make sure your box design is right so you don't waste precious bump time rebuilding. Ask me how I know....
