need help with box plans

[lexani2002]

im trying to figure out what will give the the best sound for this sub,i have a 8" c-mass sub

it will be going in a 99' standard cab chevy pickup

i have this much room

ht=12
w=12
top=8
bott=10

the sub calls for vented box size of 0.6 and vent diameter of 2 and vent length of 8.3

thats supose to be for S.Q

i tried the r.e calculator but im a little confused.never did a ported box before

You only have about .47 cubic feet of airspace using 3/4" MDF. If you use 1/2" MDF, you have about .56 cubic feet of airspace. To keep the same tuning, you would need to make the 2" port 9.5" instead.

max i can go is

ht=14
w=20
t=8
b=10

If you make it 15.5" wide, 12" tall, and 8/10" deep, you will be right on spec.

ports or no ports

With the 2" port that is 8.3" long. Although, if I was going to use the 2" port, I would get a 2" aero port.

[lexani2002]

so i should build a box with these specs and will be decent

15.5" w
12" tall
8" top
10" bott
and with a 2" by 8.3 aero port anywere

The port will need to be on the side as the enclosure is not deep enough to support it being on the front. I don't know single cab trucks well, but I believe port to the side works well. You could place it on the top though.

were is the best place to buy the aero port

[lexani2002]

~36hz would be the tuning frequency.
