Question on CUSTOM boxes...

Question on CUSTOM boxes...
i'm planning on buying another 12" sub but i'm worried two 12" subs will not fit in the far back of the trunk. I measured it to a degree and it seems to be 14" high and 30 inches in length horizontally. Every box i saw on net was too big to fit here so one of my friends may build one for me but i want to make sure that making box smaller won't hurt performance.
I guess we're talking 24 inches atleast from subs so 30 inches should be a nice tight fit. Does anyone have 2 12's fitting touching the back seat of trunk?

Eh, the wall is just cosmetic. There is an enclosure behind it.

Now I'm going to start throwing college visits into the mix which should eat up some of the time. I'm also going on a school trip in November for 4 days. School is Monday-Friday, and it's pretty hard for me to get Saturdays off from work, so I'm gonna have to take a Sunday off and then spend the whole day there.
I would like to finish it before it gets cold and I'm sure you would too! Oh well! We'll finish it soon hopefully.
Later,
-Nick

I have 2 12's in a pretty small sealed box and its not hitting as hard as my friends bigger ported box
why is this?
I thought slealed boxes are better then ported boxes and it didn't really matter the size
Also in the trunk of my maxima I didn't really have any foundation except a thick piece of cardboard above the spare tire
I had to drill pieces of wood into the steel frame for a solid foundation

Sorry, my computer forgot it's IP address. Took me till now to get it reconfigured. Now I still have to look up the specs for your kenwood sub. I already found that it is no longer listed in the current product section.

Drilling mounting holes was a good idea.

my friends system with his ported box is way louder, compared to my subs and amp and its like 200 watts more then him he has the MA Audio 1000 watt amp with the 12 IL subs and I have the 1200 watt amp with the 12 XL subs but in his truck it hits so much harder. As soon as I I close my trunk the hood rattles like crazy and you can't hear any bass on the outside what do you guys think I should do
in the inside it sounds awesome but I think I blew my rear back right speaker it rattles like crazy and sounds like crap
