[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8801079, member: 591582"] Most shallow mounts seem to be severely lacking in bass, IMO, and tend to have terrible lows due to inherent depth restrictions. They seem to often have compromises in sound due to their shape, and running one sealed typically isn’t going to be a ton of bass. Idk how much space you’re willing to give up. The only tuning you have with a sealed box is its size, and the smaller the airspace, the higher the peak (Fsc in Hz). You could try to run smaller woofers ported, or maybe get a “full size” woofer that doesn’t face the same mechanical limitations. The issue here, imo, is just the nature of that sub. I’ve done ported boxes in those, but it takes up a ton of your extremely limited trunk space. The hatch shape of those vehicles works really well to boost bass when you have a ported box under the hatch glass, I guess if it’s not a convertible. I’ve done single ported 12’s in those, for example. [/QUOTE]
