Mini sub wall?

Post by Vindicate »

I was thinken of making a mini sub wall in my trunk. My ideal sub box volume for each speaker is 1.424ft^3. So if I were to have a wall at the back portion of my trunk I would try and make 2.848ft^3 (since there's 2 subs) of space between my wall and the back of my seats? Also I have my amp mounted on the back of one of my rear seats, if I kept the amp there would the firing of subs damage my amp in any way?

With a wall, the idea is to have a large box w/ lots of port area. What subs are you using? I think you're saying you want to seal the box off from the trunk?

The subs are 2 Resonant Engineering RE12s.

I just want my trunk to look alittle tidier is all. The picture below shows you what the prob is. The sub boxes are too big and they always slide to the back, I don't want to tack em to the floor cuz I still want access to my spare tire.

Here's what I have to work with to make something, ANY suggestions are good for me. I was thinken of just putten up an MDF wall near the back of the trunk.

Pictures are bigger when u click em.

I don't want LOTS of space, I just want enuf space so I can access my spare tire. I don't care about carrying stuff in the trunk. Sound Solutions 022 it what I'm aiming for. How hard is that to make?
