DRauck Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 In the back of my car, I want to put a little bit of slam but theres a couple of issues. 1) It's a convertible 2) There's no trunk 3) There's not much room This is pretty much what I'm working with: There's a little bit of space above this area where the back window lies, so it wouldn't be considered sealed off, even though it'd be really close. I think the biggest box I could fit here would be 37" wide, 13" tall, and 14.25" length at the base. Because of the front seats, I'd probably want the top of the box to have an 11.25" length at the top and then the face would be angled backwards a little bit. Would a sealed box be a better idea than a ported box in this situation? I could fit 3 10's in a sealed box across the face I think. Is there any way I could do a ported box, and would I get better results that way in terms of loud? What's your opinion on what I should do, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance Quote 2011 Honda CR-Z Mugen 12" Kicker SoloX Subwoofer Rockford Fosgate t20001bd Pioneer AVIC-X930BT Head Unit Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 You'd gain a ton of room if you removed the rear seats and have fiberglassing skills Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRauck Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I wonder if I could remove those seats without tearing the car up. I don't think I want this install to do anything to the car, though. As in, no bolts through the carpet or body of the car, or anything like that. Like I said, its a convertible, so I'm not expecting to blow someone's eardrums out. I just want it to be as loud as possible for the space I have.

Emoxihax Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 what I would do is make your box sit on the seats, and get velcro tape so you don't have to screw the box into place Quote 2004 Volkswagen GLI 1 10" Skar VVX ^^^ Looking for an amp to run it, Pm me if you have one ^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRauck Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 If you mean between the front and back seats, There's somewhere between 6" and a foot between them on the driver side, and hardly any on the passenger side. I'm short, so the driver side seat is never back that far. But if you're wondering about room for an amp, including space underneath the front seat there's probably between a foot and a foot and a half of space. If you meant between the two back seats, there's no space on the floor between them.

Bakerman Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 You can always go with JL Audio...they make all kinds of custom enclosures for cars, trucks, etc. They are kinda expensive, but it comes with the sub(s) and it is completely incognito...you will never notice its there...

Ryeguy28 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 where do you plan on putting your amp(s) Quote Vehicle: 1996 Chevy Prizm Amplifiers: Dual Xpa6100(Sub) Enclosure: BassWorks 2.5ish sealed Mids/Highs: Polk 6.5"s and polk 4"s Subwoofers: RockFord Fosgate 15" Wire:8gauge Future Upgrades:Amp, another 15" , Big # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRauck Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 where do you plan on putting your amp(s) There were a few options, it would depend on how big the amp was. If it was on the smaller side, probably under the hood (the engine is in the back). If it was bigger, I'd put it behind the driver side front seat on the floor most likely. Or I would build an amp rack somewhere on the back seat (If you look, the back rest is folded down to make a flat surface and underneath it is the base of the back seat and about 6" of space between it and the underside of the fold down).
