Fi ssd 10" box build

[BoostedSS]

Currently I am in the planning stage for my new system and need some I put from others on the box build. I have an fi ssd 10" on the way and the plan is to build a small wall in the back between the trunk and cab on the 70% portion of the backseat. I am going to put it in a .7 or.8 cf box after displacements and bracing. I plan on using a 3" flared port which gives me 7 sq inches of port area for the .7 cf box. From what I have read with flared ports the rule of thumb is 10sq inches of port area for 1 cf of air space in the box which would make a 3 in flared port spot on. I am concerned though that it will not be enough and give me some port noise. Which would result in rebuilding the wall which I want to be one and done if at all possible. Soo I am looking for some opinions and input on...

Flared port area in relation to size of the box and sub

Small ported box vs bigger ported box compared to a sealed enclosure

Trying to decide small ported box or sealed before too late to change the options

First question that comes to mind is... why a wall for a single 10?

"small wall in the back between the trunk and cab on the 70% portion of the backseat" hmmmmm I hope he means sealed trunk

You on css.net?

I would do 1-1.25 cube box vented but I cant help you really with the flare idea.

P.s. I have an ss/tc and just put in an ssa zcon

Yea I am on CSS but only made a profile and never did much on there cause I always found what I was looking for..

Sealing the trunk is exactly what I plan on doing. I am crossed between a sealed or ported as for the ported box will weigh more but have more output as the sealed would save some weight and keep it clean. I was thinking it would be a happy medium with a small ported box. Thinking that the increased pressure of a small ported box would help increase the sq over the output of the bigger box while still having more low end output than sealed. I've looked all over and haven't found anything very definitive. My other concern is that 3 inches of port would not be enough and be noisy, this is my first build for a 10 but saving weight is an issue
