Well hopefully I don't get flammed for this....

I have had my sub out of my trunk for the past few months. I really enjoy using the trunk space but miss that extra thump to my music.

Other than purchasing component speakers to improve my mid range or something like that I would like to use my existing sub somehow without losing all my trunk space.

Is it possible to mount a sub on the rear deck without being in an enclosure and it still sound ok?

Could someone show some pics of their compact install in a 4th gen or similar trunk.

Its a 12" JBL, I forget all the specs but I've had it for a few years and am very happy with it.

 

Some of the JBL's do well IB, you can absolutely do this but be sure to seal away the front and rear waves. Deaden the deck well and build a nice secure baffle.

 

just make a tiny box for it. i probably works in like 1ft cubed, which btw is small as hell. like really tiny.

or buy a Jl stealth box and throw it in.

I'v never been a fan of IBs but that's me.

g'luck
