I've attached a picture of the panel I need to make a box to fit in. I would love to be able to mold the box outside of the car, but I'm concerned with the trunk panel folding over and not keeping its proper shape. What are my options?

Is this a good list of what I need to buy? I found it on another site * 1 gallon fiberglass resin & hardener (Home Depot, about $25. Comes with 2 tubes of hardener.) * 1 extra tube of hardener (Home Depot, about $6.00. The 2 tubes that come with the resin aren't sufficient unless you're working on a hot day.) * Fiberglass cloth (Home Depot, each package contains a 3' x 9' sheet. I used 5 sheets. About $6.00 per package = $30.00) * 1 quart Acetone for soaking brush and cleaning up (Home Depot, about $8.) * 1 paint brush, 2" wide or less, cut bristles to 1" length (Home Depot, about $1.50) * 3M spray adhesive (Home Depot, $don't remember) * Speaker enclosure carpet (Home Depot, $don't remember) * 5/8" or 3/4" MDF (I used a scrap piece I had lying around) * 24" wood dowel stick, 3/8" or 1/2" thickness (Home Depot, abu $3.00) * 1 piece of stretchy cloth (At least 14" x 10". I used an old t-shirt.) * Hot glue & gun (I used superglue, but hot glue would have worked better) * 60 grit sand paper * Duct tape * Cardboard (thickness of standard cardboard box) * 8 T-nuts, #10-32 (Home Depot, about $5.00) * 8 #10-32 screws (Home Depot, about $3.00) * Banana plugs (Radio Shack, about $4.00)

Crap, I was hoping I could get away from having to worry about my interior. So where do you all get your supplies for glassing?

My trunk is around 12.5 cubes. I can fit either 1 or 2 12's on the baffle board. 1200 watts RMS is what I'm working with. What do you guys think? Also, do these setups still hit low and loud?

Thanks, just to make sure I'm on the right path. Icons are considered high output subs right?

Thank you. I appreciate the replies. Loud to me a is a 12" Brahma in 2 cubes ported to 32hz powered by 1200 watts. Thats what I used to have and it was awesome. Thats what I'm trying to achieve.

My trunk is to small to port my current subs.

Thank you. I was hoping that wasn't the case, but I guess shaking requires giving up my trunk space. No harm in hoping.

Thanks for the link. I may have to look around more. I need something that will shake my car more than what I have now. Current setup is 2 ED 13ov.2 in 2 cubes sealed.

Anyone have a link to the camry?

Do you remember how it was setup?

I'm about to purchase one to go with my JBL 1200.1 Plan is to make a sealed enclosure. I have up to 3 cubes to work with and I see that Fi recommends 2-2.6 What size should I make it? I'm looking for deep and tight bass. I love low lows and when the sub just slams. Other question is weight. How much does a Q15 weigh? Last question is can I run the full 1200 watts to the Q15? thank you

I really like this forum. You guys get back quick. I'm this close to ordering, only thing is I'm checking out the Havoc. Anyone know if it truly goes deeper like that one review said?

where can you buy havoc's online? Thanks, this was a dumb question. I'm new to the site.

I have these 2 subs in a 2 cube sealed box. My amp is a JBL 1200.1 I'd like to keep this box as it uses my trunk space very well. Before these subs, I had an 12" Brahma in a 2 cubic foot vented box that aboslutely slaughter. Sadly it was stolen and by then Adire was long gone. Keeping my current sub and box, what pair of 12's would you all recommend? $250 each would be a reasonable max. Less is even better.

Plus the OOOOH factor of a 15. I've had almost ten 12's in my life. Sealed is probably best anyway since my 1200.1 does not have a subsonic filter. Now I'm just stuck choosing a 15.

Can the 12 be made to play as deep or deeper than the sealed 15?

Question now is whats louder? Sealed Fi Q15 in 3cubes or Ported Fi Q12 in roughly 2 cubes. (Ported box would have to be smaller since it would have to be a simple rectangle).

Rap and Rock. Deep, tight bass is what I love. SPL is great as long as its not boomy. I like have a headache from my system and haven't felt that since I lost my Brahma. I could build a sealed and ported box for the 15. Sealed first cause that may be enough. I just need to decide the 15. The Fi Q and Icon seem very similar. I have 1200 watts at my disposal so I'm sure I can feed either of them.

I just ran out to the car and made several measurements. If I push all my spaces to the max, I can squeeze out 3.5cubes internal while still not losing any of my important space (can still fit groceries and get to spare tire. I could possibly fit a single 15 in there or a single 12 ported.

Just bought a dual 1 ohm Icon 15! Gonna wire it in series to feed it 1100 watts at 2 ohms from my amp. Thanks for the input and advice everybody! I may be following your footsteps. I'm about to measure my trunk. I will be going sealed though as I doubt I can afford more than 2.5 cubes. Fi Q and Icon 15 are top on my list.
