trunk subs

ok, i want to put in two twelves, the box will be ported and approx 5 cubic feet. i haven't done any measuring, but i have a sneaking suspicion this will cover up the spare tire. any ideas on how i can still have a spare ? and dont just say dont get subs haha

Best bet is to get something custom made if you got the money...Uncald4 does a great job from what I've seen... Here's the link https://acurazine.com/forums/sponsored-sales-group-buys-10/custom-fiberglass-subwoofer-enclosures-358676/

Go for a custom box but depending on the subs you use, the dimensions will vary. With a ported option, you will be probably using more space. Sealed boxes tend to be smaller and you will get a more tight sound but not as loud.

hmm, what other choices are you thinking of? Depending on the sub, it is night and day as far as dimensions and quality. Not trying to persuade but those subs have an Fs = 43 Hz rating meaning you would get no real lower end. Gotta love the >20 Hz hit and hear/feel!
