You are correct and most subs that are "free air" would be listed as such. Not many around anymore. Kicker, Pioneer and a few others had them but most of them have gone strictly with enclosures. With our back window shape and our trunk size, I would just get 1/2" or 5/8" plywood cut to fit and have the trunk lid arms cut out in the wood so that it will close easily. If that one section could be sealed off just a little, it would help and also look cleaner.
Carpet to match and you're done.
This is kind of what I was wondering. I know they have specific dimensions for each sub enclosure. Even if I'm not exact with the dimensions, if I close it in and seal up the area it should greatly improve the sound, shouldn't it? I'm just really concerned that I'm going to blow these suckers.
I have the gain to where I think it's pretty safe, but all it would take is one song to come on an BOOM! It's the damn trunk cross bars that are in the way. I could have moved the subs forward 2" but they would have looked odd on the back deck, uneven. Again, thanks for the input everyone
