Well my GF's mom is getting her tax check soon which measn im going to be planning their systems soon. Her moms system is pretty cut and dry. Either cheaper ocmponets up fron in pods and coax's in the rear or coax's all aroudn and an RL-I 8 or 10 for the sub.

My GF's car, however, im not sure. i was going to give her my audiobahn 10's and put them in a wicked one...but i found a buyer. Soooo im thinking about getting her 2 RLi 8's or 10's and putting them in a wicked one. However she wants to keep her trunk space so my idea is this. Seal the trunk off from teh cabbin and put the opening of the wicked one facing up on the rear deck and put an acoustically tansparrent fabric over it. would this be loud or would it be better to just put it in the trunk? we are going to be using her car morethan my truck for long trips (better gas milage) so i want bass for me...not her...lol.

Her car she is getting is a '91 Toyota Carolla i think. 4Dr. Let me know what you think.

after building 2 wicked one's I think it would be harder than hell to fit one with the opening upward in a trunk, I mean even if you downsize to 24" you probably don't have that much room.

When I built a WO for a sub wtih the exact same motor size as the RLP I couldnt use the normal 36" wide even if I had the baffel in a crazy position, so I went to 45x45 and this thing weighs about 250 easily. I think that would slam most trunks 4 inches. you might want to draw all your lines and then see if the motor of that 8 is going to fit in something that small.

But I wont leave you stranded I've got other ideas, why don't you build a Transmission line with an 8" or a pair and make the cone blow thru the rear armrest and the port blow thru a hole in the decklid.

Another idea would be to do a 4th order bp and blow thru the arm rest or deck lid.

As far as your question about the bass going in the trunk or cab, I've got exp there too. The more you can seal the blow thru the better even if you have little gaps the pressure in the cab just doesn't stay in the cab it goes into the trunk. so seal er up as well as possible.

That is basically what I'm planning on doing to my Grand Prix, cut out the rear deck, build a new reaer deck covered with grill cloth, one that will go in, and can be pulled out. Wall behing the seat, build the bottom, top W/sub hole and ports(if going ported) and sides of the box seal the back half to the front wall. slide it into the trunk, seal the back half, to the existing wall behind the seat. add another peice of mdf, cut to seal behind the box. Obviously this depth is limited to the depth of the rear deck. use spray foam insulation around the edges to make sure it is 100% sealed off. Drop your sub in through the rear deckinto the sub hole in the top of the box, put your grill clothed rear deck back in. then finish the trunk off however you want.
