Just installed new box for Kicker L7 12s

The box barely fit into the trunk, I literally had to kick it in then have a friend help me move it into the trunk more. It is barely wide enough to fit in the opening through the trunk into the backseat, and just tall enough to reach where the metal turns about 45 degrees on each side for the pass-through. Blue felt carpeting to match my car also! While I was at it, I changed out my green neon trunk light for a set of blue cathodes. It complements the box and car very well Tell me what you think!

Back seat view:



Trunk view:



Where's all the trunk space???



Also installed Blue trunk lights, replacing the green neon I had up there:

I was always told that the Solobarics used way less air space. Is that only for sealed boxes?


p.s. I love Kickers! My next set up will involve one or possibly two L7 15's... someday.

yes, thats correct. But since this is ported, it needs to be bigger, with the max air space being at about 3.25 cu. ft. per sub NOT including the port volume.
