lol, a 15" won't care about a lump of metal in the way.. roll it off below 100Hz and it will be fine.

i got 2 12" JL 12W3 subs in my boot and i cant hear em too well so i gonna cut out a section bigger than the ski hatch ( which ive already drilled and kicked out) and have my handy welder friend add some bracing to put back any structural strength i may remove in the process. a lot of the people ive spoke to say this is the only real way to get the bass to sound like its not in a car behind you! or mount a ten inch in a box built onto the ski hatch and leave the arm rest down.

A decent 15" sub should do the job in an e30 but two wud be the ultimate. to get the best results it would be to cut a hole in the metal / rear center arm rest. :mad:
