1stgener · Post by **1stgener** » Sat Mar 01, 2008 10:36 am

I was wondering if you think I will have problems fitting this box into my trunk on my 01 Neon..
4.0FT^3@32Hz Dimensions (W x H x D): 33" x 16.5" x 21"
Any one else running 15" subs?

from what i remember, the trunk is 36" wide from wheel well to well, 24" high, 40 or 50 something deep, its also 42 or 46 wide at its widest point.

to get the proper airspace for 15's you only have enough room in the trunk for 1 15, if you make the whole trunk the box including the spare tire compartment you might be able to get enough airspace for 2 but even with that its cutting it short some.

when i had my 2 15's i just removed the bottom of the back seat and threw a box there, but that was when i was younger and in my 01 neon. now i gotta have the asthetics and the performance

All i know is my 12" sledgehammer box BARELY fits in my trunk.

go free air style pull down back seats and place a sheet of mdf with the two 15s facing forward. This will use the entire trunk as a box. I did this in my 95 neon with 2 15 \" Crystal Comps. When you haul stuff it made it pound even harder.

Any one ever hear of Fi BTL subs? Or DC sound labs. I think I want to go with something "non" mainstream and these subs are true spl beasts. The new DC audio level 5 subs has a 75 pound motor!...hmm wonder if a 18 will fit.. I know of a Neon with a wall and 2 18's behind his head and about 8,000 watts..Yeah, I know..im weird..

mine works pretty good. it does touch the magnets on the 6x9's though.

My friend is taking out his backseats and building a wall for his Fi 18". I picked that thing up and its a monster...im afraid for my ears.

finally someone on here that likes to run non-mainstream subs such as me.

There is no way your going to fit enough airspace for a 18" in a neon trunk unless you go the wall route. But i say either get a 12" BTL fully loaded or a DC audio sub in a 2.5cft box. I had a RE Audio RE12 with 1500w in a 2.5cft box & it was pretty loud. it was a bitch to fit the box though, since it was oddly shapped.

i was able to put in a 4.5cu ft box with a DD 9515 in my trunk....had to take off my back seat to fit it, but it's in there.

oh man if you are having problems fitting 1 15'' l7 in there im going to have a little bit of fun trying to fix a solo x box in itt 4 cubic foot boxx

Jeremy M · Post by **Jeremy M** » Sun Nov 02, 2008 9:41 pm

u can fit a 4 cu box in there pretty easy, if i remember right u can only fit a box that's about 14.5" tall throu the trunk latch. I'm in the process of putting a fi btl 18 fully loaded into my neon for a sound comp on the 15th.

I'm also in the process of making a box for my JL 13tw5 for my acura

that 18 is going make the car shake i had 2 12'' l7s in my neon and i had to re tighten bolts alot the fi 18's are 1000 watts rms right??

A bit hard to see in there, but I fit a 15" L7 comfortably in my '03 and could have had airspace for another as my enclosure cupped down into the spare tire well; wasn't much room left for my amp rack, but it ended up fitting at a nice 45 degree angle between the enclosure and the back of the car.

Jeremy M · Post by **Jeremy M** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 7:53 pm

i got the 18 in....boy does it shake stuff, i think my sunroof will be broken soon. I should make videos

more like 2-3000.

What amp are you using to push the btl?

Jeremy M · Post by **Jeremy M** » Mon Nov 24, 2008 12:47 am

Sundown Saz 3000d @ .5 ohms

so roughly i'm giving the BTL something like 3700wrms at fully tilt.

glasjaw · Post by **glasjaw** » Fri Nov 28, 2008 3:43 pm

Awesome combo...thats the next amp i want...along with 4 type r's.

a single 15 is what I would do for sure... oh wait I did. I run a DD9515 in my sx, I cut out the metal abit in the trunk behind the seat to fit more box through opening LOL... it 34"W 15.5"H and 25.5"D.
Sounds great in the car, but more for comps then nice daily listening.

Jeremy M · Post by **Jeremy M** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 1:08 am

yah i ran a dd9515d in my car also....sub forward port forward...it was loud no doubt but this btl is on a whole nother level. if u youtube 9515 u'll see my car a video wit the 9515 playing in my neon
