I was wondering what is the biggest box i can make to fit in my 96 Civic EX. I'm trying to think of the best way to get the most airspace in there without going into fiberglass. The box i have in there now, in order to make it fit Ihad to remove the back seat to fit it through into the trunk and I also had to bend the middle support for the seats down. I have the whole trunk cardboard floor out of it plus the spare tire. I just feel like i could have more sound from my 15' Alpine Type-R. It's a big sub and i'm trying to get it the most air possible. Any suggestions will be appreciated GREATLY! Thanks in advance!

 

O.K. First off. Bigger box, DOES NOT mean more sound.

Then if you still have any questions ask.

 

Wait.. so do you only have 1 15 inch sub?

Theres no way it should take up that much room.. even if it's ported

I still have my floor in mine, (and the spare tire and stuff) and I have 4 10 inches, with 2 in a slot box and 2 in a bandpass... with about 10 inches on both sides to put stuff.

How big of a box do you have?

You probably could fit 2 15's ported in the trunk pretty easily.. especially with the tire gone...

 

Give it ~2.6 cubes max, idk what you have now. How much power you have? Type-Rs can eat a lot more than spec.

 

i have about 4.6 and i think thats about as damn big of a box you can put in there......

 

Take out the rear fill and you got another 2 cubes.

 

bigger isnt neccessarily better. my friend built a box for 1 12" and it sounded distorted cause it was alittle bigger than recommended.

 

mine isnt even as big as what those subs call for.....im hittin about a 147.8 so its ok for me right now i just need more power to the subs.

 

What type of subs? RE SX/XXXs?

 

i have them custom built from scott from re right before he started his other company....they are se/sx hybrids with some xxx parts thrown in there.I have about 850 to each right now and i need about 1500 to each.
