Trunk cars

Looking for some Ideas on trunk car set ups, let them roll........

Subs up port up, subs up ports back. I've had better luck with a pair of tens than a pair of twelves. What kind of car?

2 12's with really big custom aeroport facing forward.sealed from the trunk. that is what work's best

sub forward port forward.

subs up ports up threw stock speaker holes 4tens work well

yes another trunk man in the game hope you have better luck than i am having with mine. i am finding that i was louder with 2 12's port sub back than i am with sub up and port back but hey its all about trial and error happy building and let us in on what u do

subs up aeroports to the drivers side worked great in most of my vehicles that i put them in 2500 watts most likely a 150......single 15 pair of 12's.....

this is tru also seen this set up alot good info

yep and thats a legal on the dash 150

i've tried subs < and port^ .........150-153
i've tried subs^ and port^ .........149-153
i've tried subs< and ports<........151-153
different cars different power but same type and size of subs
just make sure you seal of the trunk from the rest of the car

^^^^^^^^ he red so your saying if you have the seats that let down u should have those up or down? cause i have subs up port back now and about 1700 watts to each subs now and not even doing over 135 with 2 10's, now with 2 12's i was doing over 141 with 1200watts with sub and port back, startin to think its the subs and not the box.

What subs and what amps?

I know it is possible to go 150+ with less then 2500 WRMS of clamped power. In a trunk vehicle. We tried multiple subs, but in the long run the tired and true design with just 2 12's prevailed

4 12" L5's up areos back on a pd2k 148.2 thats what we are doing now in a 2003 kia spectra....

Lots of good info guys thanks, this will really help out a friend of mine

i am running 2 10's with 2 hifonics 2006 and the loudest i got with subs up and port back is like 138, now with 2 12's mtx 7500 series in a 4cubic ft box tuned to about 40 with 1200 watts i was doing 138 once and loudest i got with them was like 141 with a box tuned to about 50 to 56. and with the same 12's and 2000 watts i was doing 140 142 easy with the box just more watts. the new subs are some hx2's power serries 10's at 2 ohms with one amp on each sub and doing 138 don't sound right to me. the new box is 4cuft tuned to 56 then sfuff one port tuned to 42 both hit really hard but don't put up any good numbers as i had hoped.

I had 2 CVX 10s on a Cadence Z7 in my girlfriends accord and in a prefab box at that and it was doing 147-148s

wuz up kenny i have it in a nissan altima 98 , i was thinking that the subs i am using are for spl use only cause the motor structure and how big these suckers are

and learn how to return a phone call

well I do subs up, ports back and have done as high as a 152.7. 4 door 2005 dodge stratus. I havent tried any other set up than this but reading this I think I might just to see what happens. What if I cant seal the whole trunk off do you think I would do as good or not. I have 2 HDC3 12s on 1 AMERICANBASS 400.1 in a areo port box.

That's the box I was playing with before I did a nice daily box. We got close to 150, but never quite made it when we were playing. I've heard Jeff's box design does well.

111

supa i think some of the problem might be that your box is taking up to much room in the trunk not allowing the air to travel into the cab... getting stuck in the trunk... does your trunk rattle like he!!... if so then that is probly your problem... i had that same problem in a couple of cars...

I never liked subs up port back in a trunk car, I had best results either subs forward port forward, or sub forward, port side with aeros

ok i need help on here......my name is david............i have 2 kicker cvx 15 inch subs....im in the 0-600 watt Stock Class and i want to hit a 150 to 155 in my class......i would appreciate any1s help for realz.....this has been my goal for 6 years and now i need the opportunity to do it .......so i need some tips .......boxes ,,,amps something help me out

well this sucks... this is my first post, i'm getting back into audio, i used this name on this site sinced 01 and this is my first loggin back in two years, i guess they dropped my username off.... anyways i'm getting back into this game and gonna go with a 4 door accord, and i wanna try trunk, can you compete in a stock class and lay the back seat down? before i competed in prostock 0-1000 and mod 0-300 2-3 years ago in a hatch, never tried a trunk car.

have fun... trunk cars well most of them are hard to get loud.... and you still have to follow the rules of batteries and amps of course but i have competed in stock classes all year with no problem

i had 1-12 sub and port to passenger side and was doin 145 to 147 in a 1978 ford ltd 2. A big freakin car!
