Does an Avatar TB153 (or 410 NEO for that matter since they're the same size) fit in the trunk of a Honda Civic sedan? Based on the dimensions it will fit, but I wasn't sure because you need to put the speaker in at an angle. Thx.

Will Avatar TB153 fit in my trunk?

Here's a cheap and easy trick: Tape together some scrap cardboard to create a box with the same dimensions as the cabinet and see if it fits in your trunk.
I had a 2003 Civic Coupe that had a larger trunk than most Civics. The speaker would technically fit, but it would not slide in. That's why I got a Scion tC recently. The hatch gave me a lot more options. and it's fun.

When I went to buy a new car I took a cardboard cutout along. The salesguy joked about it and asked if it said "Will Work for Food" on the other side. Smart ass. He got the sale anyways.

Why wrestle a heavy box and risk damaging it, or injuring yourself, when you can "cheat" and avoid both problems?
When I first started designing and building furniture, I made a piece that was too large to make around a corner and through a doorway in a client's house: I had to remove a window to deliver it!
Lesson learned!When I was shopping for my present car, I modified a cheap air mattress and inflated it inside my DB bag; I took it and 4' x 8' sheet of cardboard with me to assure I'd be able to haul full sheets of plywood and my DB in the new car.
+1 on the cardboard cutout.
Also, what I did is I had scrap 2x3's around, so I made a box out of 2x3s to test to see if my rig would fit in my car.
Why dont you do some testing and find out for yourself.
A combination of cardboard and scrap wood does work. Use the large pieces of cardboard as the front and back of the cabinet and then cut 4 pieces of wood to length to match the depth of the cabinet. Put the 4 pieces of wood in the corners and staple the carboard to the pieces of wood.
Test for yourself.
