Alright, heres my ****ty setup, but it works. Didnt mount the amp or bother with wire length. They are Dual 10s with a MTX400 amp. Bumps pretty good for a lil bit of power goin thru em.

ORIGINAL: stanglx2002

just trying to get some ideas of what im going to do with my two 12's. I think im just going to sink them in the spare tire well in a fiberglass box and delete the rear seats and box in where the rear seat was with a box and mount the amps and cap and maybe the battery in there.
deleting the rear seat is alot more than it sounds, unless you have some good 'glass skills to rely on for contouring the box, I tried it and thats why I changed over to what I have now. when you pull out the whole rear seat you are left with not much open space, the floor comes almost right up to the middle of the seat section with 2 small wells on each side for the seat bottoms, its not square or a good round circle. to take advantage of this space, one would have to make a cast of the area and make a 'glass mold so it would fit right, not worth it for me. but if you can do it, I would love to see that.

How much air space you need on those 12s? I had 5cu ft behind each of my 15s in my box and I didnt totally pull the seats, only folded em down.

wow.... i dont even have a radio at the moment and you guys have all these speakers, i think using the spare tire recess would be nice clean looking with a piece of lexan over it and a 15" sub inside[&:]

The trunk in my 95 is TINY. The speaker box just barely drops strait down into it, i can slide it back, the speakers just about touch the trunk latch. The box is only about 1.5' front front to back, with 2 15s in it, pretty tight squeeze.

I just have a wal mart box with 2 10"s sitting in my trunk, with the amp screwed into the side of the box...It's ghetto as hell but it sounds decent, haha.

I tried to take the stock radio out when it stopped working and lost my temper. I ended up bashing the front of it in with a hammer. Oh well. When I get the radio put back in, I have to 2 12's to put in the rear seat delete that my father and I are building. The spare tire well is my only hope. If not does anybody else have any ideas?
