So, I sold my Mustang and bought a 2019 F150 super crew. Does anyone have a good box design for under the rear seats? I have 2 Sundown E8 subs that I had in my Mustang in a ported box that Shredder designed.
I'll check them out. I did find a post on an F150 forum where a guy built a box for 4 6.5s. He said "Box is 53 wide, front height is 10" back height is 6.5" 12" deep." to give an idea of the dimensions that will work. Again, the biggest thing I'd need help with is the port. Not sure what the best way to do it would be. I'd prefer a slot port. But, a round one might be easier/better.SSA did a build log where they put I think 3 of their F8L’s in a ported box under the seat of a newer model F-150 so you can draw some ideas from their build.

As far as port area goes it depends on volume/power.
And for configuration I'd load the port towards the door as well subs forward.
Configured like that you'll have a much easier time keeping the port area uniform thruout the entire length of the port vs a front firing port in an underseat box where a janky bend would be necessary if using a slot.
Good call. I had that same thought when I was mocking it up to get the port dimensions. I'm pretty sure it'll be OK, but I'll double check. The e8s are pretty shallow and if needed, I'll reposition them to be clear if the front wall of the port. Out of curiosity, what's the minimum distance needed between the back of the sub and a side of the box or port?Without doing all the calculations and doing the design it looks about right.
One thing to keep in mind is the magnet clearance, I always check by doing something like this quick and dirty.
* this is not for your subs... only an example*
I've had to rake the baffle to get magnet clearance before so keep that in mind.
