I have 2 x Alpine 12" in my boot and still have a heap of boot space - you must have a massive "ported" box

I have a sealed box which is 2 x 24 Litre Box
If they were ported the box would have to be 42 Litres - about 2 times bigger

Correction I think. Its in my other halfs car, a Mazda 323 Sedan, its a single Pioneer 12" in a Pioneer box. Consumes about 1/3 of the boot floor space.

An 8" I could probably hide in the corner, the 12" will go in my XC (maybe, dont really want the weight).
