For a 15 box, you might end up having to fab up your own. Especially if you are going to get two.

Stated on their website, they only build one for a single 15" and it is sealed.

i don't know about any prefab ported 15's for your rig. your best bet is to build one, as a custom tuned will spank a prefab. subs and port facing up will load very wickedly off the back glass.

TTT.

I had a dual 15 inch box in the camaro. If you are looking for all out rattle your face bass then fab up a dual 15 inch box.

I have some pics to give you guys the idea of the design if anyone is interested.

Well yes it raddled like crazy when you were outside of the car. But inside OMG, I'd probably be half deaf by now if I wouldn't of sold all the stuff. Somewhere around here I have the exact dimensions of the box. If I recall correctly there is a little over 1.6 cu. ft per chamber. There was no need to worry about that back window. The shape of the window makes it very strong. I entered one SPL competition and got 152.5 dB. This was with the amp gain turned down to about half. I was running 1 ohm!!! With this set up I cooked a set of 15" Kicker Comp CVRs in one week, wasn't too happy about that. The Audiobahn's didn't sound as good but they held up to the abuse very nicely. Needless to say I got a nice chunk of cash out of the deal and now have a somewhat fast car.

i assume that was on the mic? (TL sensor is a black box that suction cups to the window). 152 on the mic, is still good for a dual, sealed box.

Check my sig for my custom dual 15" sealed box. Been away from the car for long periods of time so haven't had it metered yet.

The box posted above is damn small for a pair of 15"s. Doesn't look like 3.2cubes to me. The glass on the hatch is surprisingly strong. You're not popping that with a 152 unless there is a defect of some kind. However, dual 15"s are entirely capable of doing such damage. It's all in the box my friend.
