Can anyone tell me how much room they have in their trunk area once they put in 2 -12"s in a standard-like box?

 

i can't tell you from experience, but your not gonna have alot. if space is a concern, look into the elemental designs sq 10 enclosure, or the jl audio stealth sub kit.

ofcourse you could just get a box that is easy to unhook and remove when you need the extra trunk space.

 

alright, thanks for the info.

 

I guess I should ask you to define "standard box". To some people, that's a six sided, sealed box. To others, it's more elaborate - fiberglassed into the spare tire well...like mine!

The idea of saving space is one that installers, and speaker engineers get asked all the time. "I want lots of bass, but I'm not going to give up any trunk space, and don't want to add a lot of weight..." This has lead to the development of shallow subwoofers, higher power handling, and smaller enclosures. There's a trade off though, known as "irons law" - the idea of choosing two: small box, low frequency extension, output.

There's a few other possibilities though. You can get a single sub with more excursion, and thus cutting your sealed box volume down from holding (2) 12"s, and/or deciding to dump the spare tire and utilize that space for the internal volume of your box - saving your cargo area for it's intended purpose. You could go with something like JL or eD's box too...

You need to figure out how much output you need, how much space you're willing to give up - and where that space will come from.

Do two sub in a false floor....Thats what I'm doing but only one 10

 

i definitely have some room left, but i've got 10's

 

I lost about 1/4" of total space, I have 2 10's

 

With a regular ported box for 2 12" subs, your lookin at only having about 4 inches left on each side of the box and about 6-10 in between the front of the box and the hatch.

 

you can get more room if you dont recline the back seat and get a wedge style box that ed can custom make for you

 

i lost a bit but i still have "enough". i never use my trunk anyway.

 

why such a big box?

keep in mind I cannot get my cover over the box....but my back window is 20% anyways so I doubt people can see in. Not too worried about it.

 

this directed towards me?

 

proper ported enclosures require space *whistle*

 

exactly. it's not as big as it looks. it's 1.75cuft after the port and sub displacement. it's what treo says to build for that model and size sub. it's loud as hell for a ten and still sounds perfect doin it.

 

1.75? wow, for a 10 that's kinda large, even ported

but hey, if it hits, who cares ^^

 

yea thats what the company said to use when i called them. they said 1.75 after displacement of everything and use 20 sq inches of port area at around 35hz. so i did exactly what they said and it's crazy loud.

 

"and it's crazy loud."


enough said

 

You do know that caps are completely worthless, don't you? I hope you just have them in your car for looks.

 

well i have 2 12" subs in a custom box but here are a few pics
