sawsall or a jigsaw would be fine... then make a trim piece and a grill to cover from the top. you don't wanna do the seats... that's ghetto and if i saw that in a car parked in walmart... i'd point, laugh, take cell phone pics and post in on my favorite web forum.

see that makes us different, id wonder at what he had that required that, when i bought the ports a guy asked me what i got them for. I told him to increase my bass and relieve pressure in my trunk. He handed a 100 to the guy who owns the shop and told him to port his when they finish dynomatting his trunk
ofcourse he told him it wouldnt be that much, but i dont have cash to pay someone to doit, tell me, whats in those those rod type things underneath the deck, wires or is that a support?

how much rms do those subs push out

natedawg9640 · 08-16-2009, 10:28 PM

i'm not sayin don't port... i'm saying don't put 3 inch holes through your seats. put em somewhere else.

i beg to differ they are more than enough bass, i love em
i like rap but i listen to rock and they're very suitable and hit nicely and who know maybe later ill go crazy with things back there but for now i want to port that trunk

i think the seats would look good but i don't wanna be a walmart mockery, its bad enough sometimes posting here

JLw7123 · 08-16-2009, 10:42 PM

get it done professionally done then it would look great

If you could get another passenger side back seat to put on the drivers side, that would leave a large gap that you build a box into, make it flush up to the seats and carpet the box to match the seats. You could even face the subs into the car, one right over the other on and put a square port on top.

PappaSmurf · 08-16-2009, 11:09 PM

Afugy has a good idea, but that would require a LOT of fabrication on your part. Doing the seats ANY other way would make you a walmart mockery!
Speaker condoms are not a joke...I will post a picture when I get one.

ok they must have another name cause i tried google and figured it was a joke, funny but possibly funtional

PappaSmurf · 08-16-2009, 11:55 PM

Its not the original name for whatever they are but I call them speaker condoms. They allow the speaker to reamin in their current position without the pressure from the subs beating them up from the bottom and making them rattle.

That is an unrealizable goal. Speaker systems are a compromise.

The port idea should work, but will involve trail and error.

I had an 86 grand am that came with baffle boxes over the factory 6X9's on the rear deck. Nobody believed I had stock speakers. The baffle boxes worked great. And dude, until you can figure out how to run an intake, I wouldn't worry about trying to port the trunk

Agreed! I have them in my Beretta and they work wonders with my Kicker F69c4. Especially because it doesn't die with the back seat folded down anymore.

there's just different things im comfortable in trying
i was gonna start hacking the seat today but i wont, i think ill pull it apart and see what my bot things about cutting through that metal, (i realize that cut does have to be perfect),
my biggest concern there those rod looking things i mentioned earlier

Redog · 08-17-2009, 11:11 AM

I think what you should do is just cut right thru the sheet metal in the trunk and what the hell be different, cut the 1/4 panels too
