Default Sub Ideas

Right now I have a box from my old civic with 2x12's in it. The thing is friggin huge, and I don't want to lose all my beautiful trunk space in my accord. I'm thinking about dropping down to just 1x12, as I don't really need too much thump, but I can't decide where to mount a box for it. Does anyone have any cool setups for their boxes?

Thanks

It's not really a "cool" setup. But this is how I have my single 12"





I can still fit a lot in the trunk, so it works out.

I'm not real big into audio, I just have a little 10" (I have to have room for golf clubs)
So here's my weak system (but I like it...sounds good)



10" sealed.

nothing too fancy, but two of my setups, and as I say everywhere else, my third is in the works, using the spare tire cavity and only about 6"s of the bottom of the trunk to get 2.5ft^3 per sub which should leave me quite a bit of trunk space, as opposed to the 3.27ft^3 per sub plus port I have now which nets a box that takes up over 8ft^3 in my trunk with port and 1" mdf.




my favorite part is I don't even have to have the back seat down to do some serious burping because......



this was my old setup, the noise gate, matrix, and electrolytic cap were afterthoughs that's why they stick out, and yes I built and installed everything myself



you may ask why so many, first one, great sound, not enough noise, second one too much noise and a one note wonder(it does 38hz very well, but not much else), third one will be a comprimise of both.
