Lol, a friend of mine wanted to see my setup, so I ran outside in the pouring rain + 60mph winds to take these pictures...don't ask. The "orbs" you see is the specks of water on the lens.

Here's some pics of my setup I did about a year ago. Its 1 12w-7 in a sealed box powered by a jl1000x1 which is under a sheet of plexi. There are two fans that I installed in front of the amp to keep the temps down, hard to see them in the pic though.
I am getting ready to redo it though, I want to go with a ported box to get the extra sound output. Its going to require a fiberglassed box though since it needs to be so big. I also want to etch a jl symbol into the plexi and put a neon under it.

In from the trunk. Even if you were to remove the rear seats and the diagonal metal bracing, you still really can't fit a larger box into the trunk versus through the back.
rkostolni box looks like a basic square sealed box. Should be very easy to ballpark dimensions from looking at his pics and measuring your trunk.

And may I ask what you've got in the trunk?

alright well i really suck at measure sooooo i failed at my first attempt to build a box for the trunk. going to start my second attempt soon, but i don't want to make the same mistake. for this reason, for anyone that runs 12in subs in the BACK of the trunk, not the sides, what are the dimensions of your guys' box???? i need at least 1.375 cubic feet of space as well. any help is much appreciated.
(i think i am tape measure retarded :P)

1.3 total? Or per sub? Per sub I don't think is going to be possible without building the box inside the trunk. You won't be able to fit a box that size through the trunk opening. If that's a total air space figure, then just buy a pre-fabbed one man.

Hahaha, dlum you make me laugh! [= Curious if anyone has attempted this. My idea to make a good box is to have a soundpass box facing the front of the car, and that little plastic piece you can remove from the rear seats that go into the back of the trunk. have the ported slots enter from in there, that way it uses the cab air to create the sound. To me that sounds good with two 12" rockford p2's with a 500-2db punch amp. Would love some opinions on it. If the cab air would be well worth its build to work. Thanks. [= And dlum, If you need help with measuring, I can gladly help you! [=
