[QUOTE="DirtyDuzit, post: 8657466, member: 660190"] So I've built a few boxes before. A 3.5^ ported box for 2 12's. A 4^ single 15 ported box in the trunk of my old crown vic A better 5^ single 15 ported box for the same trunk just all around much stronger. I walled it off eventually with a 10^ box that came up to about 9^ after displacements tuned to ~40hz this for was 2 15's At the time I was pretty much using the best budget setup I could find at the time a PPI black ice 1800.1 with 2 soundqubed entry level 15's. I loved it had no complaints. Now I have an 86 F-150 single cab, I had 2 12's in some prefab ported box but the thing was like 1.5^ after displacement and just way too quiet. I want to put a single 15 on around 2k behind the seat. Now with the seat in the best position I can put it without being too uncomfortable I can get 11 depth from bottom to top, about 50 inches width. 26 inches in height allows me to see out the back window perfectly, not a 100% necessity but I think with these dimensions I could get 15 working pretty well, I thought maybe the sub would be firing towards the front of the cab on the drivers side and the port could fire upwards on the passenger side. I haven't been looking at car audio equipment for awhile so I'm not sure on the absolute best bang for your buck equipment but I'm thinking of going with this: The 2000w audiopipe amp thats about $170 Second level soundqubed 15, I know they're rated at 1200 but with box rise and care I think I should be ok. I've never used a round port and I don't know how much port volume I need for one of these 15's, using a calculator I'm seeing pretty short lengths like a 6inch port only needing to be 4inches long for 38hz, will this give me enough port volume? Any advice on a better box design, especially from people who have built one for such a small space. Also if I can pull off getting an 18 in ~4.5-5ft^ with <9" mounting depth that would be wonderful.
