    Yesterday lol. I was talking about getting them in my other posts... I haven't tested them cuz I don't know how to wire dvc yet but I hope I made a good choice. So do you still think the box has to be 5cu ft or whatever?

    Like I said before a max height of 16 inches, max width of 40" and a depth, maybe 1-2 feet. 2 is pushing it... Not much at all...

    Well you could get 5.0ft^3 with these numbers (40x16x18). You may be better off going vented as opposed to ported, they are similar but a vent takes up less area. My friend is taking one out of his car and it banged with 2 p3 15s. I don't know how to design a box like that, but there are some helpful people here who surely can.

    If you add the 3/4" mdf it only leaves you with about 5' 3" cu. not including the displacement of the vent... and I can't go any bigger with the box. I think I'm gonna have to stick with a smaller size... it may be too small but it's all I can do...

    The manual says you need at least 1.7ft^3 of volume so you would be fine either way.

    go IB. save 95% of your trunk space. you should have done some research before you bought your subs as to what would work in your trunk.

    or just hook up one sub in a larger box for it.
