Mines a sealed box as well, mostly listen to Dubstep, but like rock and deathmetal as well, this handles all very well. The Kenwood I have, has a bass remote that's handy to adjust as needed. Body messages are awesome!!

Here's mine-

 

Looks very similar to mine (fitting between the wells)...Minus the capacitor...

As im sure you read... I too have a seperate sub control ****...!

My box is just a weeee bit LARGER than yours...

Are those 10's?

 

Like some of the others have stated, a sealed box will be considerably smaller.

Here's mine. I'm running one 12" Alpine Type-R, in a custom sealed box I built, paired with an Alpine mono amplifier mounted to the back of the box. The amp is hidden, on purpose, but easily accessible by folding the back seat down. The box is mounted to the cross member under the rear deck with two L brackets and overhangs the spare tire well by about four inches. I can still remove the spare cover and tire without moving the box. I designed the box and setup this way and it works well.

 

Nice clean build/ Insthal Matt!

I think from now on...When I wanna tinker ... I think Id like to come to your place! Clean work bench...Nice arranged assortment of tools all hanging up
nice and neat.... Im definately Impressed...

I take it that you were insahling your complete system with haveing the complete rear seating area removed?...

 

Thanks. Yes, removing the back seat gave a bit more working space but I took it out mainly to run the wiring.

 

This is the exact same custom box and setup, as above, when I had it in the 03. I repainted the box black when I installed it in my 06. The box's internal volume is within Alpine's recommended volume for the 12" Type-R in a sealed box. The first picture gives the best size relation of the box to the trunk.

 

Nice job, I am jealous.. I will have to get something going on mine here soon.

 

Hey STUMPMI, Dig it, love the way you can designate the amount of bounce!! Those are 12" subs, kinda hard to tell from the pics! Amp is a Kenwood KAC 8151D, 1000 watt, does the trick, bet yours REALLY sounds killer, mine is jumpin' and you have 3000 more!! Head unit is stock with the 6 speaker and 200 watt amp. Rock on!!

 

Thanks!

Im shocked after 14 yrs it still sounds like it did when it was new...

 

That's kick-***!! Especially if you bump like I do, a real testament to the duration factors!!

Nice ride as well, dude!!
