    For SPL audio setups specially for high power Subs (e.g., Solobaric L7), you need almost the trunk space available but again, not all SPL subs are solobaric-esque. Anyway, for ported box, this isn't enclosed fully and there are "exit points or holes". Ported Box are good for HP Subs to maximize its capability and allow you to have the "gapang" effect.

    Take note that SPL setups doesn't really require you to have an alloted number of subs. The bass effect will be affected by the box volume, the power of the subs, amplifiers, proper blending and mixing of the equalizer of the HU, etc. etc.

    I think Mazda3s use donut tires as spares so its easier for you to "hide" your spare and maximize you trunk sir.

    HTH!

    Try asking for sir Jeff Tan of ACA, he knows his 'Thang!

    his from ACA near Arlington in Araneta, his works are highly recommended from a known car club.

    Try also going to KAC site. You'll learn lots of things there.

    Brands? for SPL, try going for Kicker, JBL, JL and Rockford Fosgate if you prefer known brands. Just be sure to have an audition of each sub you're choosing so to match what you really like. I'm a kicker and RF user so definitely I'll recommend both these two to you. Try going for Kicker L5, L7 or the new SoloX series; RF Power Series or the Previous HX Series too. Though these subs + the whole system (amplifiers, cap banks, wires, etc.) will cost you an arm.

    Also, don't forget to upgrade you're battery (if still casa provided) not all 1sm batteries can withstand high power requirement from the system you'll be loading it. Choose deep cycle batteries like AC Delco (expensive too).

    HTH!

spl sound set-up (minimal trunk space)
