Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / March 2004trunk space!
I have to 10" subs in my trunk. They were very cheap ones each with a nominal of 175W. I put each of them in a 1.5CuFt box. The problem now is that the two 1.5 cuft boxes take up all the space in my trunk. What other mounting options do I have? Can I put the subs into the backboard? It is a ford escort hatchback.

You should probably put two of them in a single 1.5 cuft box. Or even smaller if trunk space is a big issue. Maybe you could fabricate an enclosure for the spare tire compartment? > I have to 10" subs in my trunk. They were very cheap ones each with a > nominal of 175W. I put each of them in a 1.5CuFt box.

I assume from your posted information that SPL is not your goal. Also, I agree with MZ. 1.5 cuft sounds large for a single 10, 1 cuft is typical and .75 is usually still more then the minimum. > What other mounting options do I have? Skies the limit ... are you willing to work with fibreglass? > Can I put the subs into the backboard? Backboard? I don't know what you are referring to. Chances are that any part of the vehicle that is not metal won't be stiff enough to mount a sub on (without the end results sounding like complete crap) > It is a ford escort hatchback. I really need the space in my trunk. Then go with a single 10 in a smaller sealed box, between .75 and 1 cuft. If you are willing to fibreglass, you can tuck it into a cranny and lose practically zero cargo space. Dan Snooks It's a tradeoff. Subwoofers are designed to have an enclosure. No cylindrical sub can match the bass from a box, but Earthquake has a new tube sub that doesn't take up much room. P. > I have to 10" subs in my trunk.
