Center console build advise

[seedubs1 10+ year member]

Just got a single cab 2 seater truck with bucket seats. Only place to put a sub is center console. Wondering if there's any input as to the best layout.

I'm thinking either:

Sub up port forward

Sub up port back toward fire wall (port would have to be close like 3" off the back wall)

Sub forward port up

I've heard with the center console setup, sub and port up is no good.

Thanks for any input guys.

Ah, btw, it'll be a ns, dp, lvl4, hdc3, or something similar off a zenon 1500w

12" if I can squeeze the volume out of the box, or a 10" if needed.

ever think of an isobaric set up? ran a few of them in single cabs with good results

Sorry, but just looking for opinions on a ported set up.

Try setting it up with a sub down- port rear. That way you could use the rear wall and floor for loading. Then do a cupholder or something on top of the box.. Unless you dont have enough room for the port to be away from the rear wall

Disclaimer - I have never tried this. Just seems like it could be practical. Let someone else chime in, just throwing some ideas out there.

I feel that if the port was up, **** would fall down there, if the sub was up, you wouldnt have any room to set anything on it and it would just be an obnoxious place for a sub.

I have found that down firing is the easiest to be successful with.
