CF Trunk + 12in Sub?
Ok so I picked up a cf trunk for my IX off of a friend that recently sold his evo. Now I'm wondering if it can stand that abuse that my 12 inch solo is going to throw at it? & no I'm not willing to give up my beats... I know I know ..
So what do you guys think? I've had a bad experience with my cf hood as the clear coat is starting to crack on me. I'm thinking that maybe I should trade the trunk lid for a stock mint condition hood + some cash. Thoughts?

This is strictly an Evo IX discussion, mind your own - stupid X owners... Lol listen man I'd like to see if anyone has had problems with cf trunks & subs before. I think it's worth asking...
Ok I'll put it on, if my sub f's it up will you give me a refund? Haha

When you say 12" solo, are you referring to the kicker solo baric sub?
I have a 12" Treo sub rated for 300 watts rms, I never turn it up to full volume, I'd say at the loudest, I would have it at 80 percent of its full power. I don't hear any rattle in the car, but outside it does rattle. BTW, I have a VIS carbon fiber trunk.
Hope that information helps.
Edit: Forgot to add, I've had the trunk for a year with the sub in there and no cracks on the clear coat.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Yep I have a 12 in kicker Solo that vibrates the **** out of the oem trunk so I was a bit concerned. Based on what you guys are saying, I really shouldn't have an issue.
