i had a MTX 15 in my old hatchback before it died and it was hella loud.  however, when i put it in the trunk of my other car it seemed alot louder and i think it sounded better imo.  although i always have my back seat folded down.  i think im actually going to put bucket seats in the back so theres always a space going into the trunk so i dont have to fold the seat down.

I have a full size bronco and thats the sh*t. I have 8 MSX audio 12's in the back. A full size suv always hits the spot.

yea, thanks guys, and does anyone know the demensions of the smallest width part of a eclipse hatchback?? the 95-99's, and do you think a hatch is a 3db gain? so along with a hatch and good sound deadning you might gain near 5db of more sound?

Is porting a decklid as simple as cutting holes and inserting ports or is there some equation to get it tuned properly. i have 2 audiobahn aw12its in a sealed box it was run buy a mtx 6500D amp until this afternoon when it died, but since i had an extended warrenty on the amp im going to get the audiobahn 8000T amp. I am a little disapointed to see that the audiobahns arn't holding up to well but thats why i buy subs from , don't laugh, Circuit City for a little bit extra you can get a warranty.I just want more sound in the cabin of the car, not the trunk.

yes it is and no its not, you still have to take into consideration the length of the ports. if you extend your ports through the rear deck you need to remeber that the length of the port inside and out side of your enclosure have to be added together and all. to your desired tuning fhz.

Ideally I would have a large box ported directley into the cabin of the car, but since i have a sealed box 2 cubic feet i believe how long should my ports be, I was thinking one or two slotted ports near the top of the backseat between the 5x7s would be less obvious than two or three large circular ports so what would be ideal? This is of course open to anyone with any input.

you could also, get some small 4" grills if you were to use round ports.

Audiobahn10s,

The smallest part of the trunk of my 96 eclipse is about 42 inches (give or take an inch)
