[QUOTE="FtheNutHuggers, post: 7445649, member: 632254"] Also, remember to change the dimensions to W x D x H.......in whatever order, but when Length is a substitute measurement, it can confuse people. Width, Depth and Height are nearly impossible to misunderstand. The Width is always side to side in the vehicle, no matter which way the sub faces, the Depth is always front to back and the Height.....impossible to screw up. Another Also; why must the sub fire up? That is another massive blow to the design, essentially tying an arm behind the back of an MMA fighter. Where the sub faces is an aesthetic request, which is totally opposite of a performance request. Sometimes the optimum design ends up matching an aesthetic wish, but requiring that is totally handicapping the potential performance.
