Custom trunk layout

[Tfitch90]

Ok does anybody know of anyone who does trunk layouts in MD. ? Im putting 2 kicker l7's (square shaped) and 1 1500 watt kicker amp. Hope I dont rattle anything loose and cause damage.

Id put them in a ported box, probably about 5 cubes after sub and port displacement. Its going to take up most of your rear hatch area and it's enough to rattle some stuff loose, but its not going to do much damage with only 2 12's and 1500 watts.

I dont really want it to be a box I was thinkin fiberglass painted layout. I dont plan on using the trunk at all.

You got subs and you arent going to put them in a box? Even if you use fiberglass, youre going to want a box around the subs. You got the wrong kind of subs if you want to use them free air.

Those are Solo-baric subs. They work best in small, sealed boxes. You only need 1.5cuft per sub for nice low, tight bass. Build yourself a 3.5 cuft box and put both in there. You will have 3cuft after subtracting the space the subs themselves use. You will cause damage to vehicles beside you!!

L7's definately dont like small sealed boxes. Put them in a nice sized ported box and they should be decently loud.

These subs can be ran in either a sealed or ported box. However if you want to get the most out of them they should be in a ported box. Here is some info on the subs. http://content.abt.com/documents/6345/Kicker_SoloBaricL7SubManual.pdf

I ran 2 L7S12s on a 1500.1.... Amazing bass! I made a fiberglass sealed just like rec above, and used the spare tire well as most of my volume.

Now just think of how loud it could have been in a properly sized sealed box or a properly built ported box for them.
If you used the spare tire as most of your box volume then you probably could have been just as loud as one of them in a good box.

Its all in the box OP, i wouldnt just throw a box together if you care about how it sounds or how loud it gets.

Sealed box for sound quality and ported for loud low quality bass.
Either way it is your decision.
I'm not sure but since you were asking about a custom box, I thought I'd share this one from e-bay.

T&S Customs in Frederick does awesome work. They do just about everything but specialize in audio stuff. If you go tell them Dean sent you and they will hook you up.

Thank you all for your replies. Im looking for a nice in dash tv to. Then next year im going t re do the whole body.

instead of trying to fit the biggest you can get... get the smaller sub with a better punch... those l7s are nice but their RMS is low as well as the amps.

for that price you can get your self one mtx that coould blow those away.
that way you have more room for better air space usage.
not baggin on you just offering diff routs.

i put one 10 dual coil sub with 500 rms watts and amp to match and i blow most pair of 12s on the scales every time. building a box is not hard.

I didn't build the box; The car was sponsored by a audio shop that promoted Kicker products. The entire trunk was 3/4" M.D.F. and fiberglass, housing the 2 L7s; A 1500.1, 800.2, and 800.4 amps. I'm pretty sure they did their homework and made everything to spec.

Not to mention I wasn't running just any old daily system, the vehicle was equipped with a Fujitsu Eclipse unit running 8+ Volt pre outs to a Fujitsu line inverter to conform the I.E. (L+/-) to single channel standard RCA's to work with the Kicker amps, 6.5" kicker components in the kicks, kicker 8" mid bass in the doors and Kicker 6*9s in the rear deck.

I am pretty sure this system has much higher SQL they anything you have ever put together.
