I actually drilled some small holes in the wall to let more sound into the boot area. How ever I didn't really notice that much of a change in sound with the holes added. You can see in the pic I put a small black speaker grill in the carpet to let the air through. (Just left of the oil fill)
Trust me every car stereo expert out there told me this would never work and I would never hear it. I went to 3 high end car stereo stores here and they all told me the same thing. One shop said they had tried it in a viper and you couldn't hear it. I purchased this box as a trial and error...it was made for a jeep wrangler.....I only paid $80 for the box. It turned out sounding great and I am very picky when it comes to sound.....my next move was to have them custom make a box that fit an 8" sub between the seats. I saw some pics a long time ago of a guy who had done this it was in a yellow boxster if anyone has the pics. They wanted $800 to make the custom enclosure. I like my $80 setup better.
You can definitely hear the bass and feel it...and yes I know the difference. I think there are plenty enough factory air leaks from the trunk area into the boot where the convertible top retracts to make this possible.
Yes the best sound quality would be to have no restrictions but on a scale of 1-10 10 having the sub in the cabin with you, this set up would probably rate a 9
We don't have many options when it comes to sub placement in our cars. Just trying to give people a few more options
The other pro to this set up is no one knows you have a sub setup or expects it. So would be thieves just pass me by.
If anyone would like to hear it and they are in Salt Lake City let me know. It's kind of hard to convince people how good it sounds in text.
