Awesome looking set of subs. That must really bump. Thanks for the pick. I am going ot relocate the stock amp and that should give me enough clearance for a good size box. Thanks for the picsYou can't fit 12s into the mark... unless you "tilt" them. If memory serves me right the trunk only clears 13.5" which doesn't leave enough room for enclosure.
I have had 3 different subwoofer systems in my marks.
My latest one was 3 10" kicker L7s with a kicker ZR1000 beast punching them... The fit perfect and I was able to push them all the way to the end of the trunk
I don't think I will go that big again...
My current vette has a single 12" Elemental Designs sub with the same ZR1000 amp. And produced plenty of punch.
I'd highly recommend going with a good quality sub/enclosure and a class D name brand amp.
Ive seen a Mark out here where they cut the whole for the subs where the rear deck was and put 2 12's that was interesting. Anyways, it will all be about the cut, I agree. ThanksI had 12" L7's in my trunk with no tilt, its all in how you cut the box. fit like a glove too, man i miss that bass. don't feel like cutting up the LS yet to modify it, the THX system is decent enough for now.
that was going to be my next step before i sold the mark. You have to make sure the whole trunk is sealed off which would be a bit of a pain, but the subs i was looking at killed in IB so it would have been worth it. Each sub was 50 pounds so a ton of reinforcement would have been needed.Ive seen a Mark out here where they cut the whole for the subs where the rear deck was and put 2 12's that was interesting.

Properly done rear deck setup sounds spectacular. You need to reinforce the deck with MDF, and use proper free air speakers. Sealing it all is a bit of a challenge, but what isn't
Can't beat the space and weight savings either. Here's a shot of work in progress in one of my old m8s. It's was definitely a quality over quantity type of sound.
Thanks for the pic. I am really going to have to do the same thing with the stock amp and wiring up a new one. I will be done in a couple of weeks with my new box and I will post up a pic.when i replaced my head unit, i rewired everything so the upper two door speakers are run off the head unit's front channel, and the other four speakers are run by a 250w amp, they're only split into two channels so the front/rear fade on my head unit mixes between the tweeters and the other 4. it was easy to do since i mounted the 250 to my sub box in the trunk, it was close enough to the factory amp's location i only had to extend a few wires
