the difficulty of the install Luke, is the fact that I only have 380mm height to install a 475mm woofer... so have to lean it back, the port will be outside the box.


Ah ok, I thought the issue was the volume had to be smaller then what the sub was capable of fitting in using a conventional layout.

Simon, i'm thinking spare comes out, and we try fit it angled in here... that or inverted in wheel well (being the sealed part, raised up obviously to give correct volume) and plexi box over the top with port....
Unless you're wanting it against back seat?

against the back set means that the only port (in the small section) fires up to couple with the parcel shelf.

I figure that way gives us a good impedance match to the cabin.

It's HUGE!! :shok:

and I see you were indulging in your other habit of "flower arranging", judging by the magazines you left on the table :P

This should be a very interesting/exciting project.. (the Focal, that is!)
