Guitar players, can you fit a 4x12 guitar speaker cabinet in the trunk of a hatchback/FL5?

As the title says, I'm considering the FL5 and need to know if the trunk can fit a 4x12 Marshall cab. For non guitar players, a 4x12 cabinet is roughly 30"W x 32"H x 14"D.

Should fit if you fold the back seats down. I regularly fit my 2x10 and 1x15 bass cabinets, head, pedalboard, bass case, and a tub full of t shirts (21.1" x 23.2" x 46.5")

I need the backseat for the carseat, amp head, etc though.

In that case fold down the bigger back seat, leave the car seat in the 40 split section. You might be able to fit the cab on its side. Go to a Honda dealer and measure a regular civic hatch, it should be the same dimensions as a fl5

Then the baby will resent me the rest of his life for prioritizing 60% of the backseat over his 40%. Nah, that actually sounds like a good solution.

Has anyone done the backseat space measurement? I'm trying to figure out whether I can fit a 30" high x 48" wide cabinet in the backseat of the hatchback. I'm assuming height will be fine, width may be a problem.

So if anyone has measured, I'd love to know height and width available, with the doors closed.

I don't know about the Civic R but I fit a vintage 4x12 Hiwatt SE4123 cab inside a Calzone road case in the back of my Acura RSX-S one time. The glass came about an inch to the corner of the road case but the hatch closed.

The Civic roominess is at least as big as the Acura, but I'd have to measure it to be sure.

The guy who sold it just shook his head saying he was amazed that the car had that much room. I wish I'd taken a photo of it!
