If I am not mistaken those cars have a deep trunk beneath that box. I was planning on building a box for my cousing where it sat down in the hole with the subs up and the port back or sub up port side. That way you will still have room for tools and maybe a bit more. I also thought about building it to fit down in the hole and adding another part to it to make it bigger than the hole. That way you use all of the space down in the hole and with the second part of the box it will allow you to use more of the trunk. That way you would probably have to go with sub up port up.

well running a screwless box is not an option with nightshades.

Now that I looked at you trunk the box would be shaped like a T by filling in the hole in your trunk. I am sure that will get you a couple of cubes and that way you can go with the sub back port back or sub back port side. I never build a box with just screws. you may be able to salvage some of the parts from your old box if you can separate them add the bottom to it and adjust the port however you need whether moving it to the side or retuning it. I love the setup though. I wish my cousin would let me build him something similar.

well there is no way to drop a bigger box in.. as the shap of the truck opening is strange.. and there is not alot of space to work on the sides. once the box is in.....

I posted a similar topic and I have yet to receive a reply. I was wondering about port placement in my van.

I did a crx box in my acura cl and gained 1.5db but my subwoofer was fireing up into the the 6 by 9 holes. I could fill a lot more air into the car too, that box was 15x15x29 with 4 4" ports 12" long. But I put that same box in a Ford LTD an it sucked I think most trunk cars work best with port an sub fireing to the back with the port on the rigth side. I am doing a test with subs fireing into the one side an ports to the back.
