Does the sub have a enclosure or is it just using the boot space as one?

How did you seal the board on the back seat to the boot?

I made a mdf frame for the sub to fasten to then I stuck it to the seat with tiger seal then half a dozen bolts through to pull it tight for a good seal :)

Kinda looks like you got some speakers in the parcel shelf? wont do very well there if you got the boot as a 15" sub enclosure!

! I missed that !

Yes unless you have those parcel shelf speakers in thier own enclosures, the huge amount of air that 15 is pushing around will kill them in no time.

Do a simple test. Disconnect them and run the system at about half volume. You will see them rise and fall as the Sub pressurises the boot (enclosure)... The full range are not moving due to there own voice coils, they are moving because the sub is pushing them. This is very bad, will sound pants and will damage them.

to be honest it's best to remove them all toghter and get all the Full range speakers up front.
