Bronze Member Username: LuisdelbronxBronx, NY USA Post Number: 84 Registered: Jan-06 | My box was built by the guy who owned my sub before me (i got it off ebay) i dont mind giving out the dimensions and port lengths lol. But by doing some measurements i found out its got 1.7 cubic feet of airspace and tuned to 38 hz. my box measures 17 inches high, 16 inches wide and 14.5 inches deep. its for a single Cerwin vega 124. Im not sure but im home audio its a good idea to have the port a few inches away from the wall on floor standing speakers, so if the box is RIGHT up against the back of the car i would make the box less deep so it can have a few inches of clearance but ask someone else to make sure. my trunk wont even close if i try to put the box up against the back so i cant tell you if it will still sound good.. but heres a pic of how i have my sub. the port is facing the tail lights  |

Silver Member Username: Talon_es93Trinidad, Co Post Number: 473 Registered: Mar-06 | looks nice...i think my talon might have more room tho...i can fit a box thats 25 / 14.5/ 31 in my trunk...looks like your can only go about 5 more inches....but have any of you guys ever heard a hatch back like that...i tried it once and it did sound good but i changed it the next day... |

Bronze Member Username: LuisdelbronxBronx, NY USA Post Number: 87 Registered: Jan-06 | I had built a box for my kicker cvr 10 and put it in, both the sub and port were facing to the left of the car, people said it was louder then the cerwin..but it took up my whole trunk so i switched back. heres a vid of that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcMSseUoTgs ...by the way, you hit 142dbs with kickers in your talon? |
