Smile Subwoofer Instalation (HELP!!!!)

Hi I Was Wondering If Anyone Has Pictures Of A 15'' Subwoofer In There Car.
Or Even 2 Of Them.
I Ordered A 15 For Mine And Need To Know If It Would Fit In A 1989 5.0.
Thank You

~ Kent ~

Here Is A Picture Of The Subwoofer Along With A Picture Of The Car And Its Trunk space

With one you should be fine. I had two 12's and they fit with only a 1/4" to spare and would rub occasionally. But i have the hatchback.

what are the specs on the sub? how much cubic air space do you need? most likely you'll need to go sealed box unfortunately...

Thank You All.
The Specs Say That It Needs At Least 3-5 Cu, Feet Here Is A Pic Of The Box That We Made For It. Of Corse It Wont Fit In The Trunk But I GuesS Ill Have To Make A Custom Box That Will Take Up The Whole Trunk And Be Ported.

is it 3cu.ft sealed 5 cu.ft ported?

cause you can always make a 3cu.ft ported box and fill it with polyester batting and it will still sound fine. you just have to be careful how you position your baffle internally with the batting.

trust me the batting trick works so freakin well. i got my max X in my truck for a while and it takes a 10cu.ft. ported box. and i made a slim 5.5 cu.ft. box where the sub sat between the driver and passenger seat where the armrest flips up.ported it out near the passenger side swing out door and filled that sucker with batting. sounds great but the sub made the inside of the truck like a windtunnel though so i took it out after 4 months. also i think it was starting to make me go deaf. 1000rms in a tiny XL cab isnt a good idea.
