Trunk Subwoofer w/o Ski Pass-through
I'm wanting to install a sub in my trunk, but am concerned about the majority of the bass produced being killed due to my car not having the ski pass through or even folding rear seats. Is there anybody on here that has subs in a car like mine?

You should be fine if you get enough power in those trunk subs. Although I have a ski through, I never used it when I had my subs installed. Bass came into the cabin but also rattled the trunk a lot. I was running 1500 watts back there. If you want you can also have a shop fabricate you a custom box and make the bass enter the cabin through the top rear deck.

As you said, I could just run a lot more power in the system. I'm trying to stay away from that though mostly because of how it might start affecting the already weak charging system in the car, and also because of the extra $ it would take. As for the box being ported into the cabin, that's also more than I'm wanting to do, as I want something that is easily removable. |

As soon as its lowered its like a super bass boost. I have a ported box so maybe why. |

Maybe but probably no since the trunk itself is pretty sealed hence why u guys without the ski hole have bass issues. Its like an enclosure within an enclosure. I think I read somewhere that back piece that separates the trunk is a solid metal piece?

First of all, straight up awesome work with the second system. Props. Second, can you elaborate on the second system, in particular how it works? Does infinite baffle basically mean the trunk is the box? How does it sound, etc...

how do you like the JL's? i use to rock the old skool JL's but haven't really heard any of the newer stuff? still deciding to run a single 12" JL or 2 12" in a sealed enclosure? with the single i can just go with one that can handle more rms like a W6 or run 2 W3's?

Yes the trunk is the box. Sound Phenomenal. With a IB set up you get deep, accurate bass. I'm also a competitor so I'm very involved car audio. |

Noob question here, but how do you tag a forum user in a post? I've seen it done before on threads, and for when you're trying to get information from them that would be useful to the thread, I'd like to know how.

Neither. I'll have to go digging to look for an example of what I'm talking about. I've seen it on a thread somewhere before... I didn't know the quote tool sent a PM to them.
