Get WinISD to simulate, if you wish:

Also, there's a few people on here who build boxes. You can get one off of them or they may offer some tips on doing your own. I have the 12" L7s and they DO NOT like the minimum sealed box volume Kicker recommends. It's best, in my opinion, to go with a larger (~3+ cubic feet) sealed box or even better ported with that particular sub.

Kicker offer excellent box plans for their subs. The 2006 manual can be found here. The Tech Brief from '04 is better for box plans, T/S parameters, and response curves, http://www.kicker.com/06/tech-suppor...ch%20Brief.pdf. Ported the 15" L7 needs at least 3 cubic feet net.

There's not a lot of room back there for a 15. The well area is only about 13.5" across front to back. Obviously, none of the Kicker designs will work in the back of an F-body, but they're a starting point. You could make the box wider at the top face to account for the speaker's diameter, but then narrow below it.

I agree WinISD is a great tool in designing a subwoofer box. Most of the Kicker models' specs are already entered into the program. Of all the L7's, the 15" is the only one I would even consider running sealed.

thanks for the info.
i have decided to fold my back seat down and build a box on it. and face the box to the rear of my car for my 15 i dont use my back seats so why not.

That's what I do, but with two 12's instead. I'm 6'4" and it is literally a perfect fit. I still gots my legroom. I got a few feet of solid copper wire & 4 metal loops from Home Depot to secure the box in place. Whenever I braked even a little bit hard, the ~140 lb box would slam into my seat and push it forward a little -- got REALLY old really fast. I wrapped the solid wire around the rear seat latch bolts and that works great!

i have a single 15 jl w-6 i just put a 4.3 cubic foot tuned 28hz in the back seat it works good, got it metered lst weekend at 139.7db but with it facing to the back it is going to cancel its self out but im goin to get a design for two 15's to put in the hatch if i can get it from my cousin i will post it if i get it.

I built this with a peice of 3/4 MDF and used the trunk to seal it 2 15"s and a 10"
