I was wondering if anyone had some plans for an 88 camaro for 2 12's
with about 1.25 cubic per sub. I have made some plans but I just
wanted to check them with someone elses just to see if there was
anything else I should do. You can email it to me at

I had an 83 camaro, and an 87 Z28. I tried, 8",10",12",15" subs in
both vechiles. In the end, i used 8" subs on the little hump directly
behind the back seat, but not the deep portion of the trunk (i hope
you can visually see what i am talking about). I dont know much about
the technical mubo-jumbo of car audio, but after trying 1000 different
setups, if you put 2 - 8" GOOD QUALITITY subs on that back hump,
pointing straight up... it sounds better then all other sizes of subs.
I think it has to do with the shape of the car, and the wave lengths
different size of subs make, but in the end.... the 8" subs were the
loudest, and i used a SQ sub, so they sounded gorgeous all at the
sametime. AND, the amp neeeded for 8" subs was cheaper....box was
smaller, still had trunk space, box/subs/amp didnt weigh down my car
so my car didnt loose to much speed (305...you gotta keep as much
speed as possible with those slow engines).

So i highly reccomand 2 - 8" subs in a sealed enclosure, box made to
specs for SPL. Try 8" IDQ, or 8" JL... i used the 8" Boston's (rally
series at that time....not sure if that line is still around)

People would sit in my car and just be amazed that my 8" subs sounded
better then there 12" w6's

Feel free to flame me all you want!....but i spent alot of money and
time trying out all sorts of different sub enclosures/sizes in camaros
for a good 7 years.... this is only from my expereince. I never did
try 18" though....

I had an '82 Firebird at one point, used the "hole" in the back with a
simple piece of 3/4" mdf wrapped with polyfilly batting and black
fabric. Just set the board over the hole with 2 JL 12's back then. Use
the hole for normal car storage stuff/box tuning hehe.

It sounded very good to me at the time, I've grown since and really
can't comment now.
