    Default Boot Install

    Ok guys and girls so I'm starting planning/building my boot install and I'm
    Stuck between 2 ideas
    Idea 1 sub is mounted in the back right corner aimed slightly up and forward in a custom box going along the side of the boot. With the amp mounted next to it

    Or

    Idea 2 sub is mounted behind the rear seats on the left hand side(putting one on the right in the future) and the amp/s mounted on the sides of the boot in the spot I've seen a lot of others mounted


    Any ideas and opinions appreciated

    Will take a while or the fully finished product but will show how the sub box and amp board turn out once they're done and when I can be bothered to get some vinyl and coat them I'll show the finished product

    I hate to be a downer but there is a lot more to sub box building then just building up a literal box.... Do some research and you will see what I mean.

    Yeah I knew that
    It's designed for a Rockford p3 as that's what I'm planning on getting when money allows the fusions only temporary

    Yeah 15s aren't responsive enough for me and 10s are to punchy for my liking
    .... And 18s take up to much space

    Read up on the box design specs of the sub mate and work out the mathematics from there. It's not all about cone size also.

    I've tried but can't find any for this sub as it was an ex demo and it came with no literature and it's be evading me on the net
    Hence why I designed it to the specs for the Rockford P3. 12"
