I don't even think you'd fit it in a wagon Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Either way, it's going to look pretty big in a VL. Chances are you're going to have to assemble some of it when it's in the boot.

Hi Mate, In regards to these Kicker L7's, they are awsome subs, But one thing im not sure if your considering, you are making this huge box, but are you considering how these subs will proform in a box like that, you will loose huge amounts of SPL if you do not calculate the size of the box, seriously it can really affect the proformance of any type of sub. Too much airflow and it will act like a free air sub and the subs will not react fastenough, this is becuase the air that usually would bounce back off the box pushes the sub back out which creates air movement... On the opposite a box to small will cause the sub to bounce back too fast create a really short and punch sound but will not give that phat low bass... Have a think about buying the subs in the original box (designed by kicker) and either building around that or using similar measurements. Take my advice this will make a huge difference in how much bass you get out of these, choose the wrong box and you may aswell just have one $100 sony xplod sub, in the right box cos they will sound the same..... Hope that helps. any questions mate i know my stuff, just ask...
