Just would like someone to direct me to get 2 10's or 12's in the trunk of my 1993 Vert. I already have one 12 in a slanted truck box. I would like more bass and no one sells pre-fab boxes for my car. I went one of thee local stereo shops and they said they can build me one but the box wouldn't come out the car, (bolted in). I saw one design in which the owner installed 2 10's in his wheel well. I can put those there but I also like to put stufff in the trunk like my compact toolbox, gym bag etc. Won't that block the woofers? Does anyone have any suggestions. I might try another stereo shop today so we can come up with an idea.

 

Tell them to build you a box, but flush it in. That way you can remove the paneling, and take out the box if you need to remove your box.

 

Your problem might be your 12" is in a truck box, and not made todeliver optimal splin that small of an enclosure.

What type of sub do you have, and what is the air space in the box?

 

The subbox I have now is just something that was in the car when I got it. (Actually the box was a 10 in subbox with a 12 in old Polk Audio speaker inverted so it was facing the box. The cone was pointing up. I went ahead a purchased a $30.00 12 in slanted truck box and the sound is so much better with an old Orion 200 watt 12 in sub). It's not enough for me and I woulld like to get two 10's or 2 12's. I know the truck box is not optimal but it was a lot better then whaat I had.

Hisss04Cobra- What do you mean by flush mount? Do you mean with the subs facing toward the trunk and the subs in the spare tire well. I wonder how much usuable space I would have with this set up.

 

No, I mean them building you a box that doesn't take up the whole trunk, and flushing it in. By flushing I mean paneling your trunk so it looks like the box covers the whole trunk, but it doesn't.

 

buy an l7 and you can get a way smaller box for that with awsome sound quality but it can also be removed in 2 mins at most

 

It's all in the design. Prefab boxes don't usually sound as good as custom made boxes WITH the box designed around the speakers specs. I've heard 1 10" that sounded better and hit harder in a custom box as 2 12" speakers in a prefab running the same power or even more to the 12's.
Bigger or more is not always better.

Also, with a custom box they can address your concern with blocking the output of a speaker. Find out about a 3rd or 4th order band-pass box. May be your best option and you don't have to worry about an active crossover for it.

 

If I can stuff two 10's behind the seat of a 70's standard cab truck (at 6'4" tall) then a quality shop can put 2 in your 'vert trunk. Find another shop...

Also,. check online for small box subs. I know JL and Image Dyanmics both make very impressive low volume enclosure subs. (My 10W4s were 0.66/ea) and I'm sure that the more bargin brand companys probably do as well.

 

Like I said earlier, if you builda box to ported design specs, you could be suprised by its output.

 

he means flush it in like this:

i know it is a coupe and it is a SN95...but the same thing can be done in your car. my box is a plain old MDF and carpet box with carpeted panels of MDF nailed to the front of the box so it APPEARS to be flushed in...however the panels are removable and i can just unbolt the L-brackets that hold my box in and take it out it need be...also i still have full access to my spare tire..i'm not sure you will still be able to access your spare tire though being a vert your trunk is a lot smaller...but if you want print out that picture and take it to your installer
