anybody with knowledge of '02 ford focus zx3 trunk?

[Gioia69 30]

does anybody have experience with the trunk space of a zx3 2002 ford focus? i guess it doesnt have to necessarily be 2002, but at least the same body style. Im recommending the BTL to my friend based on his goals and because im a Fi fan. he wants to be as loud as he can get with one btl, and hes pretty noob so immediately he assumed the 18 would be best for him. so what im asking is does anyone know if a box big enough for an 18 will fit in the focus's trunk? i dont have the dimensions, although i might later on when i talk to him. and it can take up the whole trunk except a lil room for the amp (most likely going to be an audioque 1200d.) hes probably just gonna be running it on stock electrical, so there doesnt need to be room for extra batts. I know for a fact a box for an 15 will fit, just not sure about an 18. i was thinking ported, at least 6 cubes after mdf/driver/port displacement, tuned to mid 30s.

EDIT: Remember this is the hatchback focus. not the trunk focus.

I personally would go with one 15" BTL, your still gonna need to account for amps, batteries and airflow around the box (put that 15" in the biggest box they recommend and hell be happy).

there is not a lot of space back there. i owened an 01 zx3, you would be hard pressed to fit the 18, depends on how high you built the box. i dont know if the stock alt will hold up. the only bad thing on the motor is the alt, i smoked 3 of them just driving the car. upgrade the ground wire off of the motor. its only lke a 10 or 12ga wire off the passenger side of the motor. i ran 3/0ga over to the the shock tower. he had better get some large capacitors to feed the amp. you have at max 36" from the hatch to the back of the seat, however the seat leans to the rear so at the top you are down to 26" if i remember right.

i dont think u read this whole thing... i mentioned no extra batteries. and it would be sub and port firing up. and the amp is what like 2 inches thick? not too big...

hes not going to be competing or anything so i dont think he cares about it being below the windowline. just enough so he can see through his rear windshield with his rear view mirror. do u know the width of the trunk?

Well I would rather have a 15" in its optimal box than an 18" in its smallest enclosure but if he wants to force an 18" in there then go ahead. On another note, I know there is nothing wrong with underpowering a sub but with that power I would put a BL on there instead of a BTL, just my .02.

a BTL on 1200 watts is going to be louder than a BL on 1200 watts. just cuz the btl is built for 2000+ doesnt mean it is less superior on less watts. and smallest enclosure for an 18 would be 5 cubes. again, if you read what i said, you would see that i said 6+ cubes.

i have a 2003 focus zx3. i have an 18" fi q in a 6.3 cubic foot box after port displacement and sub displacement. it is tuned to 31.6 hz. i did it 22" tall, 35" wide and 20" deep. sub up, port up. i had enough room to mount my amp in between my sub and the port, (hifonics 1600d) it sounds amazing. if u have any more questions just post them up. ill b happy to answer what i can.
