hey guys im really tight on space..the sub will go into a 2007 cadillac cts and id like to retain some trunk space..i know fi suggests 2.8-4 cuft for a 15..but whats the smallest i can go without suffering any loss in perfomance quality wise and output?

2.8

If you're strapped for space, why get a 15" ? Should have gone 10" or 12".

Also, 2.8 cuft is after port, sub, and bracing displacement.

Better off with a 12 or two.

Firing a 15 up into the trunk lid is "usually" not ideal in a trunk.

i havent bought it yet, i was thinking about doing it sealed..but all my past systems where sealed so i wanted to see how ported is..i dont have any issues with going 12..i can go 12 if the outcome will be better with my space issue..by the way reason i dont go with 2 10's or 12's is cause i only have 1000 watts to work with

Good idea

Knew it. lol. Use aeroport to save even more space.

Your going about this the wrong way, what are your goals? The BL and the Q are made for COMPLETELY different things.

I kinda see him wanting loud over sound quality from the start. The BL will still sound good.

That's your listening preference, not what you want to achieve.
