Kicker 15"L7 help....
I have a Kicker 15" L7 square sub that I want to install in my tC.
I was looking for everyones opinions on how to install it. I was thinking of taking out the spare tire and fiberglassing it into the well. Not totally sure though, kinda stumped and really want it in the car this winter.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks guys/girls!

will require alot of airspace to run correctly, a minimum of 3 cu. ft. for a ported enclosure. it will eat up you trunk if done correctly

the sealed set up for these speakers doesn't do them justice... you can spend less money to get that performance

Sorry for not responding, never got ant emails about responses.
I don't care about saving space at all, like I said I want something that is show worthy and hits pretty hard. I go to a lot of car shows and want a nice trunk setup.
I already have the sub sitting in my garage just need some kind of ideas of how to set it up and make it look and sound good.

If you want it to hit real hard go with a ported box. I would also say go with removing the spare and using that space to increase the available air space you have for the box. are you gonna build the box yourself? if so here is a link to some of the calculations needed for doing a ported box.

l7's usually want bigger than advertised. That 15 is gonna need about 5 cubes after port and sub displacement to shine.

Hahahaha, I would have to fiberglass up the whole trunk to put this damn thing in, lol... Maybe I will just put 2 12's in, it will be a hell of alot easier to install and make a nice show setup.
Thanks for all the help guys, if I do end up putting it in the tC I will post pics of the progress and the end result.

yea; sucks because i wanted to see it to show a buddy of mine and i can't find it anymore; granted it was far from finished (wasn't sanded well at all, no paint and wires galore showing since some were downfiring into the fiberglass and others upfiring)
