Posted February 12, 200520 yr So the Mag that is coming is going to need a worthy home in April's alero.I'm thinking:Shooting for 1.75ft^3, ported to 32hz with 18in^2 of port. Only going to feed her ~600rms @ 4ohm (Lanzar Vibe).Woofer in the rear corner, port running fwd and venting into the center, amp (the white thingy) frenched into the glass 'in front of' the port.Coo?-Nick
February 12, 200520 yr If you don't carry anything wide, go for it. Access to the spare should be pretty easy too - that's a good design.It was wasted space in my trunk, but now it serves a purpose.
February 12, 200520 yr Author Why not do it on the back of the seats ?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>to be able to drop the seatbacks and carry fishing poles and such.

This way would actually open up more space then her current cubic box.
February 12, 200520 yr I think I'd do it the same. Keep the majority of space open. Easy access to the spare. What more could you ask for?

February 15, 200520 yr Author Title of thread: How's this look, for the AleroPost #1: Shooting for 1.75ft^3, ported to 32hz with 18in^2 of port. Only going to feed her ~600rms @ 4ohm (Lanzar Vibe).Post #5: I'm trying to keep the spare & the bulk of the cargo area open for her.

February 16, 200520 yr Function over form seems to be the case here.Looks like a nice plan. I've got a 96 Regal (almost the same car as the Alero) and although cargo space isnt a major concern, I may go with 'glass for the enclosure. Keep us updated...Just a few questions for you...1. Size/model of subwoofer?2. Dimensions of the amp?
February 17, 200520 yr Author did you think about inverting ??<{POST_SNAPBACK}>LOL... Yes, very much so.... but I need to save space. As it is, I'm trying to think of a rig to cover the sub; grill style.

April 9, 200520 yr Author got some chit done. amp's not going on the box anymore... she wants it to remain on the back seatback.All done, need to make final test fit; filler up with water; install port; carpet; bolt in. Amp should be here end of next week - Orion 1200D.-Nick
