(don't want to pull out all the equations and calculator...sorry) In a tiny cabin like that it seems a bit much. If you have a properly tuned single DVC sub in almost any car, you can make that thing bouce harder than somone with 4 subs and a shotty amp. (I wish I could find the site of the guy who took a basic 6.5" speaker and was hitting nearly as hard as someone with a Memphis Mojo amp with Huge speakers...mind you, this was just a basic speaker that had a perfectly tuned box for it.

But if you mount the speakers at the bottom you hare going to get instant bass reflection off your chasis and may rattle the hell out of your metal parts and sound kind of crappy...I would add some ports that exit behind your seat to possibly try to fix the prob.
well, two will be bridged, off of a 1200 watt amp, and the other will run off of it's own 600 watt amp. about the bass deflection off the chassis, i could add another angled wall underneath the the box, to aim the bass waves out into the car behind the seats. whatcha think?


i'll be back in on monday, so i'll catch up w/ replies when i come home. i gotta go work on my car, hopefully get it ready for paint to start in a week.
