Let me look around... It was like 06ish. Lol. Still kick my self in the A s s for getting rid of that box!!!!

5 cubes in the trunk of a Grand Prix isn't that tough. We shoved 7.6 in mine for 4 12s(and that was before port) had to build the box inside the trunk, but really wasn't to big of a deal. Just annoying when we wanted to get it out.

On page 7 of that is the 4 12s in the trunk.(car domain...before I knew forums existed lol)

Make it short enough where u can pop the back of the seats out and slide it forward if you need to. You don't have to get outrageous 12s. Then you will have easy access to the tire(sorta).

The death penalty 21 is a strong sub if you can find the 2010-older magnet. The new one has horrible coil rock issues. I had 2 of them in 18s and completely trashed them within a few weeks on burps cuz of the coil wobble(then when that was the only damage incriminator told me I had been bottoming them out, when clearly the pole piece and inside of the coil were all destroyed and scratched to hell).

I did a 4 12 set with two separate boxes tuned to my cars cabin gain.. Ran about 6 or 7 different brands. They all sounded good and almost the same..

The older style death penalty is built proof as well. We are running a crescendo bc3500 at .25ohm to a single 12(daily for that matter). Takes every bit of it like a champ and has been for awhile now.

Believe it or not a few strips of Velcro on the bottom of the box will keep it from sliding around a ton.

Went to check on a box yesterday and the one i liked was $180, screw that. I'm not paying that much for a colored box lol


Amazon.com: Hifonics Brutus BRZ1200.1D D-Class Mono Block 1 x 450 @ 4 OHMS, 1 x 900 @ 2 OHMS, 1 x 1200 @ 1 OHM: Car Electronics

just remembered what Jteske88 was saying, wire up each sub to be 1ohm then wire together to make it 2ohm. So wouldnt matter if an amp was 1ohm stable or not. (1,000 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms), is what I need. Sadly the Brutus at 2ohm is 900

i have this amp and its a really great amp i havent had any problems with it and it runs really cool too

You have to cut the carpet off the bottom of the box to stick it to something solid. It won't work if you just stick it to the carpet on the box, but u only have to use one side of the Velcro to grab the floor carpet.
