It can be done! just make sure you leave a gap so the sound wave can pass from the trunk into the cabin of the car

could you not slide it in from the back of the car? even if you have to take the backseat out...

One things for sure when you build it in is pizzing thieves off.



They'd probably take it out on the subs tho.

oh, btw, i removed the backseat completely .. cut the top of the trunk metal a bit and bent it all upwards to give more clearance then i slide the two pieces in from the seat opening.. then i just bent that metal back down and put dynamat all across it so you'd never know :-) ...

i'd assemble 2/3's of the box and put it in the trunk,then get those rubber sealers that refridgerators have, so that when u tighten up the rest of the box, i'll be airtight.

i had no leaks at all.. of course i cut it in the port so even if it leaked a little it would be no prob..

needless to say when it was time for it to come out i undid the sections holding it together but everything was together so good with the glue it had to be destroyed in pieces to get out :-(

sounded great.. burped a 151.6dB @ 49hz with those two SX 15"s and two RE 35.1s

the seats went back in.. just took them out to put the box in through that opening since it was larger than the trunk opening

honestly I don't remember.. I want to say it was right around 40" wide.. it set up against the side of the trunk flush with only 0.5" inch on the passenger side to allow for wire.. it was as wide as I could go..

in order to get both pieces to align I had to remove the spare tire and everything in there to tilt on part in then force the other in and tilt them upward together

I could have gone only about 6" deeper before the whole trunk was filled..

1 amp was in the side cubby, the other along with a yellowtop was under the box where the spare tire used to be.. i built a quick board to fill the gap where the tire was, you can see it if you look in front of the box where the gap would have been

It still was not quite as big as needed.. after port/sub displacement I swear it was 5.4^3ft
