yeah, check out kpozr's thread on a box build for ARMY-KILLA (which ended up being scrapped, and a new box for himself).
i came up with this for him:

do the 14" x 42" side facing up with the subs on that panel.

or you can play with this site:

http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported-box.asp?Ew=41&Eh=14&Dia=6&Xmax=15&Vd=.08&NumW=2&Vb=4&Fb=30&Qts=&Vas=&Fs=&CE=0

but it seems to think that with that the proper xmax value (11.5 mm for your drivers) you only need a 2.75" wide port. it might be right, but i'd go with more (4"+ wide), that's why in the link i have entered 15mm xmax, so it makes the port bigger. i guess the link and the pic of the plans i threw together for kpozr are pretty much identical //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif and they both will save you a lot of leg room compared to a 19" depth like you originally mentioned.

On the link where does it get the 12.5" height from if it is supposed to be 14"?? Should i just ignore the 12.5" measurement and change it to 14"??

because the top and bottom piece are the full 41" x 19.75" all the side pieces will by 12.5" tall (14" minus 3/4" for the top thickness minus 3/4" for the bottom thickness). just take a look at the front baffle of the box drawn in paint and you should see what i mean.

OK got it pretty much done today. Just have to cut out the holes for the subs, put the back on, finish sealing it up, and carpet it and it'll be done.

- Port peice looks crooked in this pic but its just the camera angle.

- the back peice

good work!

 

[98dime 10+ year member]

Here she is, all done except for carpet, im going to find some pretty soon. Did have a litttle trouble with one of the holes, cut it a little too big but its not a problem and still seals up fine.

- made sure it was seald up. lol

is that mdf? looks kinda funky

that's what I was thinking.... and unles it's baltic birch or MDF it's time to scrap that whole box and start over... plus I think that box could use a brace or two...

Router and jig FTW. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Yes its mdf, it wont flex its strong enough for my fat *** to sit on w/o flexing. Dont have a router, i used a jigsaw but its a pos, and i made hole one 2/16 bigger b/c i read my measurements wrong. *It's all good. Good enough for my 1st box and better than a bought sealed one. Carpeted some today still need 2 do side panels and trim it up, wasnt motivated today, it was 94 degrees with 90% humidity!

[98dime 10+ year member]

is that goin in a ext cab s-10?

yup, it fits perfect, dont even hve to cut my jack bracket out, seats all the way back no clicks lost.

 

[kpozr2 10+ year member]

isnt there a 'hump' along the back wall of the ext cab? is it just leaning forward against the seats or are you supporting it with someting to make it sit level?

 

[98dime 10+ year member]

I made 2 blocks to space it so it will sit level, im going to cover them in the same fabric, wont even notice they r there. i didnt want to cut the box so it would fit the floor, i would prolly screw it up. lol

 

[98dime 10+ year member]

The box is done! Just have to run all my wires for my amp and put it in. Sometime next week hopefully.

- trim to cover seams, going to be replaced with a diamond plate sheet soon hopefully. Have a way to keep it from rattling.
