Its been a long ass time since I've even heard of anybody using free air subs. I suppose u would have to use your rear deck to hold the speakers, therefore using the trunk as a box. Or u could mount them to a board or something and put them up against the rear seat. What size speakers are u talking about?

Id tuck some 8" subs somewhere...i guessing its an sadan...you could build an box in the sides of the trunk...in the wheel well...even build an box and bolt it up to your rear deck...all of those options leave room for baby stroller and extras...free air isnt really pratical unless you doing it in an truck or something....

i had 2 pioneer 12's free air in my 86 accord. used the truck as the box. wish i had pics, it be easier to describe haha. but the face of the subs were facing the back of the rear seat. and the board that they were mounted to was just to the inside of the truck. sounded great with the truck nicely sealed and closed.

hope that makes since. i'm f'n tired...

ya freeair was mad old school. as for size probably 8s.

Old school man! Use your trunk as a box. You should get 2 tens. I haven't heard of anyone using them lately though.

U gotta seal the shit out of your trunk. Easier to just build a custom fiberglass box TBTH. 2cf sealed for 1 15, you'd be fucking set.

15yikes i had 2 15" kicker comp vr back in the day in my caddy and that box was huge. but man did that thing boom. i gotta keep it small thats why curious on freeairs.

you could always use your spare tire wheel well for an enclosure if you dont carry a spare or dont need one ....

keep all the room for your stroller.

Or get a roof rack and something to keep the stroller dry when riding on the roof ...

or consider narrow truck boxes that can take up minimal room in your trunk.

There really are alot of different options for you.

Keep in mind though .... how long do you plan on keeping your CB? How long are you going to need a stroller for your kid/kids? Do you really want to hack up your rear deck?


if you really want to do the free air subs though your best bet will probably be to re enforce the rear deck and put you a single 10 between the rear mids or 2 10s in place of the rear mids. Keep in mind you are going to want to go with a narrow and light sub that could easily have been used in a truck box also. Once upon a time I considered free air subs but I am mostly deaf and i need a deep solid bass so I went with enclosures.

Well good luck in whatever you decide to do .... keep us posted.

It's not hard to throw a slab of wood in the trunk and seal it up. The proper term is infinite baffle (IB). You can get away with a max of 2 15's between the wheel wells. You have to make sure you get subs that have a large qts or subs built for sealed boxes. You can't throw a lot of power to IB subs. The lack of a box makes them very efficient and able to reach mechanical limits very easily.

this is my 3rd cb, i owned a jeep for two years just recently what a mistake i couldnt even drive it always had problems.......not like a honda thats why i came back. (Mark you were right) lol. my kids are 7months and 2years so stroller would be for a bit. maybe ill just throw in a couple of sas tubes and call it a day.
