Default Custom rear enclosure

Hey there everyone new to the site. Just bought a 97 SBlazer.

I curious about rear enclosures for subs and amps. Problem is I can't afford to lose any of my cargo space, I have 3 kids and a large dog. So I need all the storage I can get. Plus I 'd like it to be kind of stealth because I don't live in the best neighborhood.

If anyone has any suggestions, or even better some pics, I'd greatly appreciate it.

you could find a sub that uses a very small amount of space and just put it in the back....maybe 1 cu. ft.

I was thinking two enclosures, one oneach side behind the wheel wells also using the spcae within the fender for volume. One side already holds the jack, that would get relocated and I'd have something to match on the other side. Probably not going to use anything bigger than a 10 or 12 inch sub.

This is by no means intended to be a show quality system.

Here's what i have in the back of my blazer, it's probably biggerthan you want, but it holds two 10's. I've got acargo box built that goes between the sub box and the tailgate, and then a false floor on top of it all. Just needs to be carpeted. Anyways, pics...(not finished yet, but you get the idea):

Basically your gonna have to sacrifice sound quality for space or vice versa. It is small, but if you find the right sub, it will osund decent. Yeah, its a sealed box, it doesnt have the ports in it and it can't be ported either. It's too small for porting and would be useless according to them. It's a great looking box, not quite my cup of tea, but it may work well for you if you want to keep that cargo room. anyways you can put an 8" or a 10" sub of your choice in it, or you can put an L5. It gives you some decent options as far as the sub goes.

For now. I'm trying to kill the amp, but it just won't die. Works well enough for the time being.
