hello ssa and people with grand prixs lol. i wanna but a 15 fi bl in the trunk of my 97 gp. but idk how i can make a big enough box but still fit in in through the trunk. people with gbs can i get some box dimentions please that would be great. thanks for veiwing.

I have two Ssa icon 15s in my grand prix bro!! In 3.2cuft each box!! I need too upgrade my shocks though!! It's a lot of extra weight!! I can get you some dimensions. How many cbft does it need?

People said it was impossible!! I can even fit them ported in correct sized boxes!! It just takes patience and dedicated.

well fi recommends 3-5 cubs i want at least 3.5 cubes just for a lil wiggle room for displacement and bracing and stuff. that would be great bro! whats the biggest box do you think i could fit through the trunk? what year is yours?

You can do about 4cuft in the trunk ported!! My advice to you is not to make the box so tall.

I have the 2002 40th anniversary one.

And I'm not sure how big of an single box you could fit, because mines are in different boxes as shown. It would be pretty difficult. But a rough estimate I'd do 3.5 ported because I know how tough it would be to stuff it in their. I wouldn't go bigger than that unless you build in trunk.

yes ive only heard great things about icons. who knos i might just get one of those. idk lol i gotta alot on my mind.

I would like to be the first with an 18 in the trunk. In that case I'd get the FI btl n3!

I've got a new Grand Prix (2006) but I will tell you this fact that I have figured out:

Using a flatter box with sub up and port on one side allows you to fit a much larger box in a trunk (my dimensions are 33 wide x 33 long x 13 high).
