Please help designing a box for 3 soundqubed 10" subs

[dc_the_boss]

I need help designing my enclosure. I don't know much about designing enclosures but I have no problem building one if I have a design. In the past I have just looked up the optimum sealed enclosure air space for my subs and built a basic box for them. I never got into ported enclosures, bandpass or even the placement in the vehicle.

Vehicle: 1997 F250 Crew Cab (with front and rear bucket seats)

Subs: 3x) Soundqubed Hds210-d4 - 600w Rms 10s ~$300

Amp: Hifonics Brutus X2600.1D - 2600w @ 1ohm ~$275

...unless someone can recommend a better three 10" sub setup for under $600. I'm open to ideas.

This truck has front and rear captain chairs so the enclosure will sit as the back seat center console. I am told the best thing to do is down fire them at the floor with about a 3" gap between the floor and face of the sub but I don't know if that is accurate. I also don't know if I should go with a sealed or ported box.

Feel free to throw out any ideas you all may have.

Definitely ported. Why 3? Tougher wiring in that configuration.......

Im building this enclosure into a center console with a storage compartment in between the front seats and subs in between the rear. It would be one console from the dash all the way to in between the rear seats. My plan was to use two 12s and when I realized I didnt have that kind of width to work with I decided to use 10s. I thought I would lose some base going down to 10s so I wanted to compensate by adding a 3rd one. I found out very quickly that the wiring is a pain and the price goes up quite a bit. Any suggestions?

Go with 2 hds210's. I have the same and they hit very well.
