I'm looking to build a subbox that'll sit rightin the back seat
use quick release connectors so the thing can be removed if someone ever wants to sit back there. I'm thinking having the speakers facing forward right behind the front seats should help gain some of the bass loss that verts will have lol but now I'm wondering if a "bottom firing" design in the back seat would be a better idea? I'm not planning on removing the back seat, just make a box that sits ON the seat

I'd recommend against that...its dangerous to have a box just sitting on the seat. Imagine you get into an accident, that box is gonna give you one hell of a headache....

[/quote] [/align][/align]I have thought about doing something like this, I am a college student so whenever someone sits in the back it is usually not planned so that would be the main problem with that, unless I would be able to make it so that I could take it out and just set it in the trunk. So it would just have to be small enough to fit into the trunk, which I think it could work! I move home on May 4th, so that will start the process of what I really want to do cause I have a nice big garage and tools at home.[/align][/align]Please attach more pictures if you start it and also anyone who has pics of there subs in there trunk that would be great.[/align][/align]Thanks!!![/align]

its not in the trunk but you should be able to imagine. this is a custom box made for convertibles, the same one you'll get.

sounds good but still not enough for highway driving so i'm going to try another 500w mono amp matched with 2 new memphis m3's. so it'll end up pushing 500 to each sub. now i have 500 split between the 2 L7's. either way it still does the job. good luck.
