is it a q-logic box?? i bought one for my sisters LS and i had to put it in through the back seats W/O amp and subs installed. i think i had the openings for the subs facing down when i slid it in. it was tough, but i got it. once its in theres enough room to flip it back up and more it around. i was able to move it 360degrees once it was in there

its not a qlogic, its a sony box but the dimensions are

height: 16.1
width: 32
depth: 18

if that helps

update

i took out the subs and just tried to put the box in...no luck

the only thing i can see working is if i took the back seats out to put it in...

any other ideas?

I made a custom enclosure, but had to cut it in 2 pieces to get it in. Then I just reassembled it in the trunk. Had to actually finish all the trim pieces in the trunk. I brought it in through gthe back seat.

youre mental... my box is 34 x 14 x 12... i know its not the same, but i literally had no problem through the rear trunk opening or the rear seats... remove the bottom of the seats, then the back seats flip down about another inch... itll be tight but it should fit with it up 16", but put in on the driver side back seat otherwise youll hit a bolt

too wide and too tall. stock opening with everything removed (i would know) is 30" wide up top (37" on the bottom) and 16" tall

If you remove the seats and mounting bracket there's a slim chance you can literally kick it in there but don't expect ur carpet to be intact when ur done

i installed a 13w7 with a subzero box in my old civic. had to pretty much gut the interior to get it in there. one plus to a tight fit is no one will be able to steal it easy. they may razor blade the surrounds though if they get frustrated.
