i did a few eclipses and rsx's with a vented box ( not band pass ) and they were no reasonable explanation loud the boxes were expensive but i think it made a huge difference

RSX was not a bad platform at all... got stinking loud, enough that I refused to sit in it. We physically broke 4 Xtant x series amps in that car with a pair of Eclipse aluminum 12's.

Buy an old Honda CRX. IMO the easiest car to get loud in.

Early 90's civic hatch. Its super easy to make loud and has one of the largest widths from shock tower to tower that I know of.

88 or so Camaro.......
Pretty hardcore cabin gain right about 60Hz or something.
Plus, you get an excuse to grow a mullet and crank up the Lynerd Skinnerd, or perhaps Meatloaf.....

Our store demo car is an Acura RSX. It was bought specifically for it's shape and stock speaker locations. The goal was not to go crazy but to show that you could get great sound for around $5000. We could not be happier with our choice. Two JL 10" W6V2 woofers in a fiberglass enclosure angled 90 degrees off the rear glass produce some of the tightest bass I've heard. JL ZR650csi components in the front stock locations image great. The car comes apart and goes back together easily. No rattles or vibrations.Under 20 grand new.
