ok, given the box shape in the pic with the notch for the seat bracket. If I were to run 2 subs, 8's or 10's. or multiple 8's, where would I port the box? My new dimensions for a wedge or triangular shaped enclosure are 51" wide, height up front would be 5.75", height in rear would be 3", top panel 19" deep, and bottom panel 17.5" deep. I would of course add the

2 1/4x12x15 additions under each sub(like shown in the pic) around the center hump. Total gross volume would be 1.667cuft.

Due to the box shape, since I would be running multiple subs, the only viable option would be to port on the front of the box. But then, the height would be sloping down. I could I guess stop way short of the back wall and extend out in both directions of the subs in a t shape.

To get max volume, I don't think there is any way to avoid building around the notch. If I did, and didnt run the box as deep, then I would only have room for (1) 10 ported. This would then probably put me back to running 4-6 6.5's or a sealed enclosure. Clear as mud? Thoughts?

As far as the port in the middle I figure slotted, 4.25x6.25 16" long which would tune the box at 40hz.

most slim fit subs arent as good because the simply dont move as much air, however those memphis' are beast a good friend of mine has 2 of the 10s in his 63' nova running off of a memphis baby belle and they sound like my 15s, not to mention theyre in a sealed box so...........................

Yeah, I've heard good things about the Memphis slims. My opinion is the same as yours as far as the majority of the slim fits. We'll have to see if I run out of options....

so if a sub doesnt move much air it isnt a good sub

have you ever used shallow mounts from this post id have to say you probably never have.
