A question for the 6x10 guys
- Thread starter remainthesame
- Start date
With a 610hlf in the basement and an Impala in the garage, out I go with tape measure in hand.
The back seat looks easy, that should be no problem. As for the trunk, if you lay the cab down on it's back and angle one end in and all the way over to the side, the other end should clear the opening and you will be able to close the lid.
Doesn't look like the cab will go in straight, front to back, the opening height won't allow it. But one end first, angled to the side, and then lay it across, should do it.
I have a van, so I never actually had my gear in the Chevy and please don't ask me to bring the cab out and try it. But I'm quite sure two will fit.
BTW, I gigged the 610hlf and two SVT15e's together, powered by a 70's SVT at an "Under the Stars" show. Man, my hearing took a couple days to recover!

youre right. im going to break out the tape measure here in a little bit. im almost positive it will fit in the trunk though. ive fit a couple of dead bodies in there before
yes but bodies bend easier than cabs
After looking again in our 2009 Impala trunk, I suggest the end that goes in first, go toward the passenger side. There's more space on that side for some reason, and you'll get the other end passed the opening a little easier.

You can fit three 610HLFs in the back of a Scion XB, though maybe not on your first try. And if you have short legs, you might even be able to fit yourself in the front when you're done.
Seriously, when I went car-shopping some years ago, I took cardboard cut-outs with me to test the fittage of various size speaker cabinets. No contest - the Scion XB offered by far the best combination of cab fittage, MPG, and reasonable price.
And fortunately I have short legs... they just barely reach to the ground...
