Posted May 22, 201114 yr So my buddy got a great deal on some Diamond Audio D6 15's . He ditched the Sa-12's and this is what we did. For the amount of power they are getting they absolutely slam. Edited May 22, 201114 yr by ricksi30
May 22, 201114 yr Author Sweet. Cone area ftw For sure. The output difference vs the two sa12's is insane, off of the same power too. The trunk is sealed for the 15's and wasn't with the 12's. He broke his rear view off of the windshield and got pulled over the day we installed them.

May 23, 201114 yr How do the subs sound firing vented into the cab like that? i always wanted a setup like that with the big vent in the middle firing into the back seat,.......is it less "boomy" and more tight/clear sounding , with them firing forward?.....please talk to me

Expanding foam, wood, and other things were used to ensure that the trunk is completely sealed. It sounds great and I don't think it would be wise to listen to it with the seats up if thats what you meant.

May 23, 201114 yr Its very boomy haha but punchy too. Definitely the best set up I've had in the car! I applied wood and cardboard using liquid nail to block the biggest gaps then sealed around edges with expanding foam. Excess foam was easily removed with a serrated steak knife (haha) and then painted to match the interior.
