Pointing the sub towards the hatch gives you that length, and also the resonance from the hatches shape. Check out my new box, all figerglassed, completely to the subs specs. sure kinda looks like a rocket, but it sounds great.
You're setup looks really tight and stock though, its a good tradeoff

my 4 12"s would have hit alot harder if it was better equipment, and using today's db meters....it was 12 years ago when i had my system, and db meters seem to read real high these days
bottom line....if you want hard hitting deep bass, put the subs in your hatch....if you want just better sound, and punchy bass, go ahead and put em in the bins....but one thing i will guarantee is that the same subs with the same amp in different locations, the rear will be louder than the storage bins

i do have to agree with that statement .
for me it was a compromise between sound and trying to keep looking stock-ish, but yeah it sounds better when i move the sub up onto the deck area.

gezz anything over 500rms in a hatchback is puhlenty if you have it setup properly. half the stuff out there is overrated with a higher voltage anyways. i would worry about some sob punching my hatch if they saw a box sittin in the back. then i would kill

yeah the JL is only like 200w. Its a modest system but its plenty for me. The amp sits behind the box. It fits just barely. I think it sounds pretty good. My friend has the same exact sub in his G1 integra and it sounds a little better just cause of placement and resonation (plus his amp is way nicer). Since my amp is Ka-put I am thinking of getting a JL 250w amp. Need to save up though, JL is high end
