You' get away with 4cuft no probs i'd have thought mate.
What sub(s) you planning on running?
Remember to leave space for amps/wiring/batteries etc...

no chance of another batt in there if you want it under the parcel shelf.
Thats internal after subs but before port if you build it to window line there is another 1-1.5 cuft to be had but i wanted mine hidden from wanting eyes.
if you really want another batt in there build the box to the window line maybe taller and have a space in the box for the battery.
orion reccomend 3.5 cuft for the 15 but i do know they like there room. i maybe trying one out shortly so can tell you how they sound in that space available.

so im looking at 5ish cuft after port at sub displacement if i go to window level? that will be enough for a 15.2 ?? and as for the batery im hoping to get it on a split charge and fit in in behind the wheel arch in the boot, ( where the like flappy things are that let air out of the car ? ) :wacko:.
and yea would be interested to see how it works for you :Y:

no chance mate im afraid build a box to encompass the batt.
as for displacment hard to say because it depends on what you you tune to lower tuned boxes need a londer port therefore requiring mor volume so its a trade off now lol.

would the batt be okay inside the enclosure ? :S
well i was thinking of tuning it to 30ish ?? so it would probably be best to go for a 12.2 as there wont be much cuft left lol
