yes i did.. but it's not what i'm looking for.
i really do appreciate the suggestions you people make, but there's a reason why i'm putting so much attention to this whole issue, being so anal about any detail: this time i want to feel 100% right when doing the install. i don't want to make concessions i don't feel comfortable with, like losing valuable passenger or loading space (even if recoverable by minor temporary retrofitting), safety issues (no proper fixation or danger of theft) or losing sound quality by building a bad quality enclosure, bad positioning etc.. let me give you an example: Quote:
i do believe that there is some "optimum" location for the install. it just takes time to find it. |

if you mount it behind the 60/40 split seats, you could quite easilly fix it without saftey concerns (seems you are worried about it flying around or something)... strap it in nice and tight...restrain it to the child seat restraints... build a false floor and screw it into the false floor (saves you damaging your car)...lots of ways =)

Something that might help is knowing what volume box you want... and then go from there. I know my 120lt box leaves bugger all room in my hatch, and it is as wide as it can be and as high as the original parcel tray.

how high is the sub ur looking at and how big are the people who get in the back....just a left field option build a false floor level with that little hump behind center console and put them in there on the floor of the passangers seats....if one sub u could do it one side only and people could fit in middle and other side passanger seat...not teh brightest idea but only thing i can think of that hasnt been suggested

How about in the footwell of the front passenger, that space is huge, seal off half of it and there you go. Big sub enclosure.
A stupid idea, but you said you wanted as many suggestions as possible. Should work a treat so long as u only cary short legged passengers. |

i made my decision already: the subbox will be in the right side molding, i'll start the work by tomorrow... for the deadening..can't really tell how much it improved...i guess i can judge it when everything is back in place. what i did recognise is that there are metal parts in the trunk which are really stiff and there are locations that go "clooooooooooonkkkk" if you knock on them (try the bottom of the spare tire mold and the location right above the muffler.. sound deadening in the trunk makes sense for sure.
