do you want to keep trunk space?
or r u thinking of filling the whole trunk with the box?

if u go crazy, u might as well fill ur trunk up!

maybe if u had a few amps and the cap and some extra speakers
u could do some really crazy things

why not

have the sub a little off centred to one side, and the amp a little off centred on the other
and the cap in the middle in the back
na mean?

Ditch your spare, do a false floor in the trunk with the sub flush-mounted. Amp and cap can be under plexi, lit with neons.

:lol: yeah that would be sweet!

that or a custom fiberglass encosure that fills the truck would be pretty sick!

i think u need some screens in there too!

this is the best idea so far. why put crap in just to put crap in?

what purpose do speakers in your trunk accomplish? how often do you open your trunk so other people can watch video on some tiny 7" screens?

keep things looking clean. if you don't have the depth to do a false floor, try a newer enclosure style, like a 4th order bp with a plexi front or an aperiodic bichamber.

[Broli]

screens in the trunk have to be big

12 inch or bigger, if it is 7 inch
it better be in addition to a 12 or bigger!

even if the depth isn't deep enough, u could fibreglass a raised area to accomadate the required depth, that would look pretty sick!
raised and rounded, do u know what i mean?

[smith21]

yea, i know what you mean broli..and me and Dean have been running through a few ideas about setups, and he gave me one that i like so far, it's just weather or not i can get it down soon :(...i'll keep you guys posted tho

Keep in mind that even after you ditch the spare, the floor of the hatch is still 4-5 inches below the actual hatch opening. In order to have your amps flush mounted, as well as room for the sub, you would build up a false floor to be almost flush with the hatch. And you still retain some sort of usability.
