Hello, gentlemen! I'm deciding on a set-up for my subwoofer and amplifiers, all of which will be mounted in the trunk of a 2001 Civic. I have a Brahma 15", a Jl 300/4 and a Jl 1000/1. The sub requires 2.25ft3 internal volume and will be in a sealed enclosure. Here is what I'm thinking of doing:

Hope that link works for everybody...Anyway, with this set-up, will there be any negative effect on sound quality? Would the amps be subject to anymore vibrations/resonance/damage than if mounted elsewhere? I'd like to know any drawbacks of this application. I like the appearance of this install and could save the cost of a fibreglass enclosure. Any feedback is appreciated.

As long as the box is braced very very whell internally you should have no problems.  The brahma will flex 1 " mdf, you need to brace it especially where the amps will be, , any flexing there will bend and possibly break solder joints in the amps.

Okay, I'll have them brace the hell out of it. This install seems as though it'd be fairly cost-effective while still having some aesthetic appeal. I guy I'm talking to about building the box says he uses old hockey sticks for bracing...
