    First, turn your Caps Lock off. Your only option would probably be to make something. Does anyone really need three 12's? These cars rattle enough as it is. :rofl2:

    My stereo is just the two back speakers. 3-way pioneer 5" in the package shelf I made from a masonite dunnage board from the shop. Kittie sounds great!

    Welcome to the site!!

    Since Mav's were meant to be taken off the road before subs in cars became affordable/possible, i doubt any company has ever made a box just for the maverick. Where are you wanting to place them? taking out the back seat?

    Depending on your exact speakers, there may not be enough volume for both the box and air space for the 3 subs to operate correctly!

    Your best option is to build your own custom enclosure using 3/4 mdf and calculating (yes MATH:mad: or a good computer program) the volumes needed on both sides of your subs. If you don't, you risk blowing your subs or not operating them efficiently.

    they way that my 10' jlw-7 rattles my 01 Malibu, i think that 3-12's will take LOTS of dynomat to keep the panels from sounding like a tin can orcastra

    btw, i have a different 10' and enclosure that blows away the standard ev 2*18 cabinet on ~1/2 the power.... but there is NO way to fit it into a Mav,
