True. But porting or firing the sub against the back glass of our cars does make a pretty noticible difference.

I have a Fosgate HX2 Power 15 incher. No way it'll fit in the trunk without removing the spare and cover. I just laid the back seat down and have the 3" port firing into the galss at the base of the rear glass. No need for those back seats anyway, they're tiny.

Back to the original poster. Just pay attention to the tech specs of your sub. There are numerous things to take into account. Mounting depth, thickness of box material, minimum rear clearance, cone excursion. etc.

P.S. - A 15" Power HX2 BEATS in a 3000GT. Had to reattach the rear-view mirror about 3 times. I had two of them in an S-10 and they didn't have anything on the ONE in my car.
