He has a seat lift.

i might would try that...but i'm just gonna do my amp rack under my rear seat and a console sub box

the box itself is close to 3cu/ft, so this is gross? your going to have to add both 10's then the port which would make it too small to port. One 12 ported would have been a little easier to port, can you fit a 12(diamter)?

How large of a space are you thinking two tens need ported?

if you divide it, 1.5 per sub, sub displacement .2 and port .1 that's (areos dont take much from what im told) roughly 1.15 -1.2 per sub, i think that would be plenty for two tens ported...

yes i can fit one 12" but only up fire.

Just pm'd you back, but I think a single 12 would work perfect for what you're after.

Sub on the driver's side, port firing toward the pass. side door.

what 10's?

a 4 inch inner diamter port 15inches long would take up .1cu/ft. are you really going to use 12.56"^2 of port area?

Im not to familiar with porting so im not sure what is ideal.

for 2 10's i would say no less than a 6" aero. using that with your box space is roughly 22" long would tune you to about 35hz, probably more like 36. would you be able to fit that in the box?

using one 12 you could run the sub on one side and the 6" aero on the other, would be easier IMO.

what 2 12's sealed are you trying to get louder than?

yea a single 6" 22 in length wont work. I was running two DC audio lvl 3's and also had a pair of jl w6's both were equally the same in out put. DC had a bit better shake on the low end i have to say.

Another option i could try is fiber glassing the bottom of my box and runny 12's sealed again, i would be anywhere from 3.0-3.5 total, depend how much i glassed, what do you think of that? or is a single 12" ported better? Also would the single 12" ported be the same or better then 2 10's ported?

i appreciate all the info and help!

Its partially going to depend on the subs you choose but i think a 3" port per 10" would work just fine.

Glassing a larger sealed box for those 12s will net you very little gain over what you have. How about porting one of the DCs you have? I think a single 4" Precision/Aero port would be fine for it.

I may not have as much output as a pair of 10s but I think you'll be more than pleased with it. It'll play much deeper than the sealed 12s by far.

maybe im just weird but i would go with a single 12 ported. im more of a one sub person. sealed since there is no real cutout point as far as frequency they can get lower, but a good ported box can do the same and will always be louder.

i had a 10 with a 3" port, not aero, and i got a lot of port noise. maybe the aero will help.

it's really your choice as to what to go with, for me it would just be hard with 2 10's to tune low. if you were looking to tune to like 45hz, a 6" aero 12"long would work great //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Reason i chose two 10's ported was for the fact of the output and the lows i may be able to achieve. i need to consider what i want, i could do the tens ported but separate them and port each sub. i could even glass the floor on that box to gain space as well too. I just dont want to run into issues with that notch being there in a ported enclosure.

im not to familiar with what "tunning to" actually does?
