In my S13 I had to make the box ~13.5" tall and wide as fuck to make a slot port box fit (and I still couldn’t fit it under the rear speaker deck). I think I might actually puss out and run a 10" sub with a sealed box, even though I never liked the sound of a 10". theres plenty of room in there lol i had 3 12’s in the sentra all in seperate boxes lol they were packed in there ---

well paychecks usually are around 150$ a week ☹ but i like to take one whole paycheck to get something, so it would have to be something i can afford in one paycheck so like under 300$ i havent upgraded my int. speakers yet so im not gonna worry about an amp for them, and i wanna get the most ammt of power to my subs as possible (JL w1v2’s) ---

you know, a nissan like urs is quite well suited for sound actually. youve got plenty of room upfront in the fenders. between the body and wheels, so you could cut out some floor sections and make ridiculously good sounding kick panels. i have nowhere near that much room in my car upfront, so im sticking to doors. ---
