Box help to replace center seat in 2003 silverado

[ado 10+ year member]

I am thinking about replacing the center seat in my front row of my '03 silverado. I don't know what would be best though. Downfire with port either front or back, or I could have the sub facing up and port front or back?

I'm not really sure where to go, looking for some ideas. It would be nice to reuse the armrest if possible. Sub going in would be the Fi Q12. Was thinking around 2-2.5 cu ft box. I have about 14w x up to 35ish long x 12-13 high. It may be able to be a bit longer, I'll have to measure again. Any examples would be nice. Thanks

Any suggestions on down firing? Would I need a loading board on the bottom and how much space between?

i dont think you would need a loading board. you want the subwoofer to "couple" with the vehicle.

Alright, How much space do you recommend between sub and floor? 3"?

3"- 4" would be plenty. ive heard a center console setup that sounded awesome. it was sub down fire ,all the way to the rear of the box with the port firing forward toward the firewall. it was a 12" alpine type x off 1500 wrms .

Look up the build log that slam did on his console. Its got alot of pics and is totally hidden. He used a 10'' sub in his.

Are you talking about the one with the 8L7?
