I need the opinion of someone that might know this.

The car I have is a 1996 Chevy Cavalier. I wanted to know if there is anyone that know how much air space could be gotten in the car with a wall behind the front seats. This could use the trunk as well.

Also what about doing a wall and sealing the front from the rear and making sure the trunk is sealed well and using the whole rear end.

Basically. I need 18+ cufeet. How possible would this be?

You must be able to get that much airspace. I have a pic. somewhere of a honda accord with 24 fifteens in it. The weirdest box I have ever seen with major angles and depth to it. I think the car could only hit mid to high 150's though.

Hey if you find the pics please send.

Also that is what I am worried about not enough air space and not the numbers I should get.


What about doing a wall and using the rear of the car. Any problems you can think of? Assuming that trunk is sealed from the outside?

Damn..lol 32 cubes in the rear seat? that would be something to see.

Well I will see what else I can find out. I could check with the dealer and they have the cubic space for the trunk usually when the car is sold....Hmm..

i think you could do it if you use all the space you can in the backseat and you wont have to use the trunk, if you did just build a wall and use the rest for an enclosure it will work but you'll want to seal all inner panels and your amps will be mounted in the enclosure, you could use that idea but just seal off the trunk and you should get more than 18cu ft, and last suggestion get a cheap hatchback like a hyundai excel or something like that

Hey Iggster. I have talk to Balls already and I know the specs on his box. Also talk to a few others. I know how I can get the space I need. Thanks for the help.
