Any ideas on how to install 5 12" subs into a neon without losing the back seat? There was a guy on cardomain that put 4 10's in the trunk, but i'm looking for any other ideas. please let me know.

thanks

 

Well you're looking at a 7.5net enclosure if you want to go ported and at least 5net if you want to go sealed (and I say at least as I felt they sounded better in a bit larger enclosure ~1.25-1.5 when sealed which is my preferred enclosure for them).
If you're just looking for a loud car their's many much better choices to use these days for drivers that you could purchase with the cash that those PPI Pro's still go for (many people have a fond memory of them and pay well for it). I always felt they were a very good sounding driver but even cheap drivers these days could easily beat one in pure output.

Strip the trunk and start measuring and then see where you stand.

 

A few years back a friend, and excellent installer, put 4 12s into the trunk of a Neon R/T as part of a Sony Demo car. It was pretty full...

Another shop has the pics on their site, trunk is near the bottom: Sony Neon

 

Just curious, why 5 12"s?

 

Go for 6 and run 'em ported clamshell isobarik.

 

No way, keep the 5 and work them into a pentagonal sympathetic pressure transform.

boo-oommm...

too bad you don't have the room.

 

Because that's as many as I could find. I would seriously like a pair of DD's, but with a student budget, I can't afford to buy them and then the amp needed and so fourth. Seeing as how they are all 300 rms, even running a 1000W amp would be sufficient.

I know that they could be outperformed by alot of things, but they are awesome subs.

I worked on a design for this box until 5 am thursday morning and I came out with a box that will fit all 5, common chamber (sealed), and they will be getting 1.2 cu ft. each.
