Talked to a guy at a supposedly reputable sound shop today. Talked at length about the trunk sound issue. Says he's even delt with a situation like this on an MB (sub in the trunk).

He said he could do something like a free-air 8" in the storage compartment on the rear deck but basically said you CAN'T predict what the sound will be like because of the trunk.

What he did with the other MB was put 2 12" subs in a sealed box. Said it worked. He recommended to me a single 12" in a sealed box (I told him I'm not wanting a THUMPER car - just need some bass lower than what my 4" rear speakers are providing).

He really feels that the sound will make it through the trunk and into the cabin.

But from all the stories I've heard about these MB trunks being so sound proof, I have my doubts.

All I'm wanting is some low end fill-in that I'm not getting out of these 4" Bostin Acoustic plate speakers I've installed.

Any thoughts on this?
