Not sure if anybody here gives a flying frog about car stereos, but thought I'd share this for the greater community.
Background:
I'm planning on sealing these up and running different speakers in this location as mid-bass (actual subs will go in the hatch). For my application, I needed to know the internal volume.
Method:
Results will vary depending how you seal them up - details how I measured volume are in the pictures. To measure volume, I bought a shit ton of 0.55" diameter marbles and a 1000mL graduated cylinder. I filled the enclosure up with marbles, then dumped them out and measured the volume of dumped out marbles with the graduated cylinder.
Results:
3.3 Liters
(filled to 1000mL 3 times + another 300mL)
Enjoy!!
Edit: adding some p/n's for general internet search-ability. BMW X1, 3-series, 1-series, e84, e90, e82, 65139143144-01, 65139143143-01

I'll be using a Mobridge DA-G2 PRO MOST25 for interfacing the amps to the head unit
. My turbos just broke and while changing them I also upgraded the in and Outlets and intercooler and what not, so I hadn't had any chance nor money to start this project. I hope to get to the subwoofer project around Christmas time next year
I modeled my driver up in WinISD; was hoping for a -3dB point of 80Hz or less for mid-bass. Sealed shows just over 100Hz, and free-air is even worse. I can get below 90Hz if I port and tune to 70Hz. But the port would have to be external, and would be extremely difficult if not impossible to fit under there. I'm still TBD which path I'll take.
