Four Sub Box Build..Help Me Get Goin'

[dakota dude]

So...i decided to build my first box. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

The box will be in the extened cab of my 1999 Dodge Dakota RT. "Willing to remove back seat"

The subs im planning on using are 4 12inch type r's. [swr 1242d] Ported box of course.

I dont really know much about building boxes, thats why im here... so can i have a list of materials that ill need to get this job done..right! "haha"

Tips would be great, alot of tips. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The cutting and sh!t shouldnt be a problem, seems really d@amn easy but measurements!!! i dont know where to begin with em. i know certant subs need a certant cubic ft. with the box having 4 subs in it i dont know how to figure it out. i cant use website caculators, thats why im asking for someone to do it for me..i feel like a piece of sh!t asking all this.

Yes, im a noob when it comes to boxes... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

So to sum it alllll up, could someone caulculate the dimensions of a rectanglura ported sub box thatll hold 4 12inch alpine type r's SWR-1242D then list the materials needed for the project. I need a guideline

Thanks

unless someone knows the dimentions of the vehicle noone is gonna be able to say what u need it to be. you need to get a tape measure and do it your self then someone can use the dimaentions and design a box plan.

Well, you have about 12.5cu.ft to work with before port and sub displacement. 10cu.ft is very doable //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
