I have a 10" Kicker CVT shallow mount currently in a 1.5cft sealed box. It sounds good however am looking to grab a little more room out of my already small Yaris. It currently sound tight and punchy however lacks low end when playing any rap. Not a problem really since I don't listen to it much.

I am looking to go down to the minimum .8cft sealed . Just wondering if anyone can give me a heads up as to what to expect sound wise.

Thanks

 

Less low frequency extension.....begs the question what you're planning to do with the .7cuft you will be getting back with the smaller box......the loss of bottom end will be pretty noticeable, hope it's worth it......

 

A couple grocery bags probably, the kids are getting pretty tired of holding the steak on the ride home from Safeway.

 

Do like I do.....strap 'em to the roof and tell 'em if they complain you'll take away the bug shields......

 

Ya I would but I am pretty big in to fuel economy so I am afraid the kids would add too much drag. Although I could make them lie down flat and that may mitigate any negative effects on gas mileage.

 

is the yaris a hatchback or sedan?

if hatchback, check the clearence under your rear seats, you might be able to fit the shall mount under them (did something like this in a caravan once)

 

It's a hatchback however there is no room under the seats. I ended up getting the .75 box and put some stuffing in it. Albsolutely no noticeable difference in sound. Goes just as low as with the 1.25 box.
