Need box design - 10" SoloX Ported

You sure you want to do a side firing? Is that what Kicker told you?
yeah that is what they told me. there isn't enough clearance to have it front or rear and he didn't recommend to have it fire downward, but that may be a possibility... seeing as the space of the bottom is larger but i think that piece will need to be raised a min of 6 inches for firing which will increase the height of the box and move the port to fire out of the side...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

 
I came up with this but I'm not sure how well it will work. The sub will barely fit on the bottom of the side anyways and will probably need to be recessed. Are these the absolute largest dimensions you can go? What about a sealed setup firing backwards?

This is aaproxximately 2.5 cf @ 36 hz, by the way.

Brian, the front can extend up 16" with the depth being 12.75" and then it angles towards the 9" depth. I have been working on a design, but I don't know how it's going to turn out. See what you come up with considering the difference.

Brian, looks good - on the front of the box it actually goes up approx 16" then angles back to be 9" on top. This will give it more clearance for mounting.

The only dimension that can increase would be the height - which could be + 2"-3" max.

 
I didnt pay attention to your exact dimensions but I dont like the woofer position on that box at all. Can u lose the 3rd row? Or maybe run 2 or 3 10's sealed ?
No, losing the 3rd row is not an option. I really want to be able to use this sub. I know it is a funky design that hasn't really been tested yet, but it may work out. I may be able to do the 10's if the solo doesn't work out, but I would like to still have it ported. With that being said, I think the 10's would be able to be down firing without any problems.

 
Yeah, here's a thought //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif :

Haven't done any calcs on it yet and I know there's not enough clearance for the magnet, but this is something along the lines of what I was thinking.
I am not dead set on the side firing, but like you said the clearance for the magnet is an issue.... but I dig the way you think
