The a explaination on how you get two 18" in a vented enclosure in a small Celica... Well, I'm going to take out the rear seats and the enclosure is going to build so that the subs will be firing towards the front right behind the rear seats. The port will also be firing in the same direction, so that I get a nice breeze on warm summer days. The enclosure will be about 450-550liters which is about 16-20cu.ft. There will be a plexi glass plate between the enclosure and the roof so that I will not be obstructing the view through the back window. The amplifiers will be placed on top of the enclosure. I'll also make two fiberglass covers that will go on the front baffle and the roof of the enclosure, they will hide cables and cover any small openings on the sides between the enclosure and the car, those will be covered in grey/black vinyl to match the interior of the car. Clarion cd player will be running the fronts actively with the Soundstream amp. And the Ctek charger will be installed in the car, but it will be easy accessible so that I can take it out of the car if I need to charge something else. That's the plan, now we're waiting on the weather gods to turn up the heat. 13. April 2010 Then the work starts: Deadened the trunk today, beautiful weather today, +13C and no clouds. The CD player I'm using now, a real beauty: The 1" MDF plates that's bought: The workshop and all the tools at school that I'll be using: got to have some music while you work: The trunk before: All the cables waiting patiently to be used: The room at my disposal: My baby: Got to eat to, dinner for my sister and me: The result: Lot's of deadening got used: The car stereo waiting to be used: 18.
