I dont know if I should go sealed or ported?

I listend to all types of music but mostly dance that has some hard hitting and low bass.

I wouldnt like to sacrafice my whole trunk if possible and this will be pushed by a sundown 1000d

Ok I took some measurements.

Looks like it could be about 29" wide 10" high and 14"deep. My whole rear seat folds down also.

Thanks,

Brian

Is more info needed?

that amount of space is just too small for the 12 Q ported.... no matter how you do it its below the recommended ported enclosure size..... unless you can sacrifice some more room you'll have to run it sealed....

could probably pull that off if u have room for an external port. aka a pvc port outside of the box... if not then run it sealed or buy a 10 incher and port that

Yeah that's too small of a space, only about 1.7 cubes before displacements. If you already have the 12" you'll want to go sealed. If you really want to go ported, step down to the 10".

i wouldnt suggest the 12 even sealed based on the dimensions he posted because the sub would have to be mounted facing up or down firing and the amount of room between the magnet and the wall would be too close in my opinion just like the sub would be too close to the top or bottom of the trunk at the same time.

Even a 10" is too large unless you can go 11" high.

Ok those measurements were with me trying to save trunk space. Let me measure again and see what I would be willing to part with.

thanks for your help also.
