Need help in sub box sizing

[rb70383]

WOW that looks nice. Got a link to a build? I built this box for my truck. Did ported as that is what the speakers were said to work best with. It was kinda boomy for me. Louder volumes and the port started chuffing. Swapped speakers, one id blow, and selaed the ports with a cap on the inside. Sounded much better then. The sub box is only half across. I needed under seat storage. I also raised the rear seat 4" for the required volume. I need to redo it as the raised seat is becoming a pain.

I want to incorporate this new box, not the one in the ram, into the center console. I will use mdf where ever possible and fiberglass to fill the irregular shapes.

On the ram box, it is all mdf except the bottom where I used fiberglass to corform to the floor of the truck.

Be careful doing a center console sub-box. It'll work good in a reg cab but if it's an extended cab you'll probably get some wave cancelation. You'll alway get the best performance when you place the sub as close to the rear as possible. You really need to use the natural acoustics of the car/truck to get the most performance.

The truck looks nice. The box looks really big though. You can get the big stuff in the small space you just really need to use some imagination! Here's some pics of my truck box. I had 6" total height in the front so I had to get really imaginative! I wanted everything hidden and max volume cause the truck was kinda loud. Had to water-cool the amp because of no air circulation under the seat but that and a little fiberglass and it was unbelievable! 12's under the seat at stock height! Each box was a little over 1.2 cuFT and the only HDF was the front and top pieces. Everything else was glass. :D

I like that. No trouble with the speakers firing up? That is how mine is now. Box is big cause it was ported. I really didn't like the way it sounded. The amps are on brackets under the seats but raised about 3 inches as to not get kicked. I want to lower the seat and now but thinking of having them fire down.

The console is for my ramcharger. I like the small side box you did. How did you make the cover? Actually that was the other place I was thinking in the truck was behind the wheelwell.
