Post Biggest possible box in our cars??

What is the biggest possible box we can fit in the 4th gens.? I'm talking the WHOLE back area, but still be able to see out the back window. Taking the side plastic panels off and removing the spare tire/jack and having the box come all the way up to the back seat. Fiberglass the whole way of course! Basically, I want the biggest possible box without removing the back seat or a wall and still be able to see out the back window. Anybody done anything like this? Any guesses on how many cubes?

How big do you need??? I'm working on one for just the pit, and I'm getting ~ 4cF out of the pit alone. With all the sides and deck taken up I'd say as a guess ~ 8-10cF, but that's all enclosure space, and mo equipment mounting....

Where are you going to mount the amps and such, the Backseat??

glassing the well, spare tire area, and up on the hump.... my guess is around 10-14 cubes.
How much window do you want to be able to see out of?

Cool, that's right around where I was estimating. I'm looking for around 8 cubes before displacment. In that case I guess I don't need to come all the way up to the back seat... just the well and all the way to the sides. Then I can do something cool with my amps and put them over the gas tank. Thank You for your help! Any more guesses??

lmao, you think your going to have a window left to see out of? dont count on the hatch glass being there for long if you find a system to use all that space

What in the heck do you wanna put back there that needs that much space? A better question is why? There are a few subs out there that could get you in the 150s with enough power. e.g. L7s, W7s,... I am just curious thats all. Whatever it is and what ever the purpose I wanna see. Good luck on the install.

you forgot the Brahma (gonna try a 15 this weekend at a USAC competition) i am going to aim for 150 with a single 15 and 1200 watts in my Camaro... we shall see

You also forgot that you can get that loud with cheaper subs and little power... a guy i know in his Sonoma extended cab hit 153 with a single Tempest ($150) and a 500 watt Phoenix gold xs 2500. I imagine a pair with 500 each in an F Body could do that, but you will need 8 cubes for the pair.

Well, i have the 12, and my Brother in law has the 15... he liked my 12 so much that he had to have one

I hit 139.8 with a single Nuke 12 in a 33 Hz tuned ported box, and the Brahma 15 in a 30 Hz 2.3 cube ported box sounds SOOOO much louder, i am hopeing that a 45 Hz tune in A 6 cube box will get me at least close to 150... hopefully over.
