2 subs in rear deck of maxima?

[zoenphlux]

I was wanting to put 2 shallow mount pioneer free air 8" subs in the rear deck, but after closer look it wont be very feasible so anybody know how a free air 10" sub would fit/sound? planning on going with a panasonic HU with a digital amp 70x4 peak/31x4 rms and adding a sub. also wnat to use kenwood speakers. any advice for changing this stuff out? any better choice for sub. i dont want a box in the trunk

got childrens...

I don't really recommend free air. I did that in my Maxima putting the sub behind the armrest and was disappointed compared to a sealed setup.

If you want one in the deck, I'd recommend the Elemental Design Audio slim 10" subwoofer mounted in the deck and just basically put a small box on the other side of the deck to seal it. What's nice about that one is not only is it slim, but unlike most others, it doesn't require a lot of air space which is the biggest problem with most slim subwoofers.

Their stuff is very affordable and very high quality with excellent sound. I had a couple of their 7 inch woofers that played better lows than an 18" competition woofer I had. On top of that... they give you a factory, 5 year warranty on their stuff. Excellent customer service too.

happen to have a link for that sub. i might end up having to just get a slim sub and put it in a box.....will the 10 work with the precut hole for the bose sub bracket or will i need to cut out some more to get better sound.

is there any need for putting a couple of 6.5s in the deck? anybody done that and does it make a big difference?

In general I have never been impressed with any freeair setup as they are all pretty sloppy sounding. If you do not mind losing some trunk space then even a 8" sub will sound much better than a freeair 10. I would also avoid putting speakers on the rear deck as it will take lots of cutting and modification while giving you little in return.

Sorry about that, had the link copied but never pasted it.
