Don't wanna sound like a fan boy or anything but the ascendant audio smd are designed for really small enclosures. Don't do an 18 in the trunk. You can get some sick ass 10s and 12s. Maybe look into DC audio level 6 or 7 10s or 12s


I still say for the price you can't beat the ethos or tridents. They will oit perform subs that cost 3x more and blow awat any in it's price range. Although dc makes a decent sub but for the price much better can be had. If i was going to order acendent anything i would got with the teams. I'm pretty stoked though i just ordered 2 12 team Fi... Woot woot.

i know a 18 wont work ported. so i thought it may work reverse mounted so the box wont be as big. also my seats dont fold down , and in the chargers. these seats are cushing foam. backed with hard thick plasting wrapped in cloth. VERY sound deadening.

ive had fold down seats in other cars and know how loud it can get but with these seats there it almost kills 70% of tyhe bass. it is redicilous how loud it is when i take the seats out.

i was thinking of making a box with slot port up sub to rear of trunk. molding a new back deck cover so i can use that as my deck. cutting a slot out of the metal that hold my speakers because well. i dont even have any installed in the rear deck. front stage is on point.

slot port rear deck connected to box so its porting through would be nice imo. everyone who has chargers know these cars trunks limit the sound and bass coming in.


I wouldn't go with a single 18 trunk build either. 2 12s would be nice. Tell ya what drive down my way and listen to these ethos and if you don't love them I'll pay for your gas.

Another idea could be. Build a box facing forward sealed from the rest of the trunk with a port through the rear deck so it loads off the back window.

You could also fabricate hinges onto the backseat, not to hard just takes some time.

Either way, port through the rear deck facing forward completely sealed off.

Meh I guess you could be right.

@op if you still make a nice sized hole in the rear deck and have your port run through the rear deck also you could get some decent response. I can draw you a pic if you don't understand

One hole for port, one hole just to let some pressure out of the trunk into the cabin

Or is there a center arm rest in the back seat that folds down?

We did a trunk build like your wanting in a buddy of mines sable. We sealed off the entire trunk and got the best results. We also tried cutting a extra hole like sikk said just to release pressure and lost a ton of output. Instead of a traditional box we just built a small box to spec of the sub without port and then just used a external port seeings how it was in the trunk and porting through the rear deck. It was a ton of work and I wouldn't want to do it again.

i do got to admit tho. for these $300 subs i have they pound hard for being sq subs. and no they arent soundqubed lol.
even with the steas in they rattle my eyes to a point i have a hard time readng signs and tuff. but when the back seat is out. its nearly 4 times louder.
not to mention my box is all messed up im probably peaking very high lacking on the lows tho.

my problem is i think i ad a bad ground. when i went to go trade n my car last week i removed everything. ended up just paying my car off. so now i think im going to install it all back again and run it all perfect. then focus on getting a new box built.

have you ever seen the cutlass that steve meade did that was ported through the rear deck? was nasty.
