i have a JL 10w7 and i would like to mount it in the trunk some where in my 2001 ls Integra. i want to be able to use my trunk rather than having a giant box in the way. can someone please help me out and post some pics so that i can get some ideas? before i had 2 10" Rockford Fosgate HE2 in a box that weight like 150 with the subs in it. i had enough room in the trunk afterward for maybe 3 bag of groceries. granted yes the sound was awesome. but i think i have grown out of the super loud bass stage of my life. i am still wantin some good bass but i want my space too. i was thinkin maybe a false floor but that seems lie it would add alot of weight as well. please HT, give me some ideas!

Remember this is a 500watt sub you need an amp that is at least 500 watts RMS so what ever box you build, it needs to be braced real good and the MDF needs to be sealed, the box needs to be airtight. 94

 

well i was wanting a ported box for this sub. personal pref i guess. i know that box has to be a bit larger just b/c, i'll look up how much space that needs. and also, if i make a box that has the same space but in a different shape, would that still work? or will it just be all sorts of screwy soundin? and please pics pics pics. i miss seeing my teggy cuz i've been deployed. stupid army!
