installation

I tried to install two 15's behind the seat of my 2005 Dodge. I had more than enough mounting depth. However, we tried to build the box on the smaller side and it didn't work out too well. It peaked too high for my liking. We installed two U15 v2's on an SIA5000. It did do a 148 on the meter @...
