Ported Trunk 2

[AleroDrime]

ryan and yalero are the only ones i really am seeing any actual advice from, the idea of turning the sedan in too a coupe is ignorant and would never go over well with my family, (its my car i make the payment but dont do the insurance).

i wanted to use the ports so itd look really clean, however, if you could give me some dimensions (itd be harder too) id be willing to try a slit in the back behind the 6x9s, maybe 2 inches wide and about the width of the rear deck, that way i could cut the carpet there right and glue the carpet under the edges and give it a clean almost factory look

ive been serious about this idea for a while and i really want experience input on how to do it right
my friend ran and got two 3inch hole cutters(sry bad with proper names) just so if this works we can do his sentra

do both, why not? since what everyone is saying that two 3" holes will not be good enough, then go with four 3" holes, or maybe larger.

it got scrapped, like i said a while back, its just a stand now for the frontend loader on pops tractor
im currently thinking of using that plastic bondo filler mess there and removing those two holders all to get there if i cant find some kinda oem looking strap to go on the open part of the holders

here we go again yall are mocking this instead of helping me do this right, except for yalero and ryan

yalero, is there a way to do this without the trunk becoming a hugely unproportioned bandpass box?

i think the only way to make the car sound like it would with the back seats down... is to make a hole about the same size... try moving your subs around... have them face towards you and pushed close or pushed to the back of the trunk... all of that makes a difference... i cant stand my car with the seats down normally... waaaay too much bass

The bigger the better.

Nothing will be bigger than the two 6x9 holes.

Thats all I can say.

Catch the drift?

Anything short of that is futile.

the plan against that was, while he drills ill push down on a 4x4 wrapped in a towel(to prevetn scratches) that way we hit wood instead of window

ryan if i could fit four or possibly five, how much less of a bandpass would it be, although 4 and 5 chrome ports would be kinda ridiculous looking, what do you think about the slit idea

[worknprog.99]

use a short blade... or cut with the blade going into the trunk

its a little too much with mine down too but i figured smaller openings was a good idea

How often do you have 3 people in the back seat? if you hardly have people there, why not cut an opening in the middle of the seat? People could still sit in the middle, better yet make a hatch in the middle, when there isnt 3 in the back, open it, if there is you can close it, man im SMRT!!!

sry the back seat is needed for family issues, i really dont want to explain it on the site either, but can we say that my car having no backseat is not an option

sry just re read that i could put cup holders there too i might consider that but ill have to look around some hardware shops at door hinges, but id still like something i little more professional looking

i think smurf or afungy suggested something like that minus the centerhatch

what about removing the top rear deck and glassing a cover with the ports in that?

wayout of my skill level is why, seems like itd be a much harder task for me, probably alot easier to and experienced person

[worknprog.99]

you wouldnt have to remove the whole thing. just like in that one picture in the other thread. maybe not glass but wood covered in matching carpet...

if anyone can come up with a way to make the edges, of the holes look clean, cause if i did do that, id move the 6x9's and the covers to the rear doors
