I saw the bass reflex part on the website about Passive Radiator Enclosures and wondered what you guys thought incorporating this method in car audio. I have made a couple of powered subs (home audio) that used like an 8'' and two 8'' radiators but not sure what to do for a trunk build.

It's more difficult experimenting with PRs in a car because of the large sizes you usually have to deal with.  With the availablilty of power as it is, and with minimum room in almost any vehicle, the lean is toward subwoofers that will perform in small enclosures.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Thanks for the reply I just had some curiosity on the subject. I guess I'll leave that for the home.
