4 15inch Subwoofers???

I have a 2012 Camaro RS that currently has 2 12inch Alpine subs in the trunk. I would like to replace those and get as much bass as possible even if it means giving up most of my trunk storage room. I know this might sound crazy and stupid but it's what makes me happy so why wouldn't I? Do you think I would have room to fit 4 15inch Alpine Subs in my trunk? And if not then what about the middle of the back seat? Thanks!

I had a single 15 (which was AWESOME) but I am currently having 2 13w6's put in. Four 15's is possibly doable, but you might as well weld your trunk shut because 4 15's will take every square inch of your trunk space. Better to remove your back seat and build an enclosure there.

Have them set in a box that has them at an inward angle in each corner, would definitey fit. Run the amp's along the sides and you should be fine. Better sound-deaden the car entirely though because the rattle will be insane in this.

4 15s wont have enough airspace in the trnk, youd have to build them in the back seat. The trunk only has about 6.5-7 cu ft. If you did some cheaper 15s that take less airspace you could make it happen may, but to make life easier on you for the build you might as well do 4 kick ass 10s or 12s that would beat 4 cheap 15s, for example..........

Thats 4 Rockford T1 10s and a bd2500.1

Go old school and do 2 behind 2. Can't remember what they used to call that type of enclosure.

4 15s not enough air space. 1 15 would be louder than 2 12s. so run 2 15's and youll not be disapointed. 1500 RMS through 2 T2-15 would do the job very nicly. side note invest in extra windows....... if I remember right, they each have 4 inches of forward and inward travel that 8 inch of total stroke between the pair. your not going to be able to sit in the car with that playing.......

clamshell isobaric design would definitely produce some low-low bass..

One other major problem with the trunk is that its only 15.5" tall. That means youd have to angle the speakers and that might cause another issue with acoustics. I've seen 2 12s hit a 156db. Just buy good equipment and you can achieve more than you'll need. I've got 2 Mmats Dreadnauts and a 3500w amp going in mine and my car is prolly gonna fall apart with just those.

I'm going to run the Mmats 3000.5 on them. I metered the amp on a test power supply and it was puting out 3400 and some change at 13.5 volts. I wanted to run the Juggernauts but I would have had to build the box all the way to the back of the trunk but I wanted to keep some opening for storage and amp display. I've just about got it all in the car. I've been working on it since May, but between working on customers cars and 2 jobs I dont have alot of time.

Turns out that 15's wont fit in my trunk (trunk only 16 inches high) so I'm going with 3 12 inch Alpines and a new/much more powerful amp. I'll also be getting alpine speakers up front so you'll definitely hear me coming :updown:
