[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8406731, member: 658055"] I didn't pick out the sub for the application, I just had it on hand. If it's no good I could seal it or maybe buy a different one. I also have a pair of 8 ohm 10s, but I don't see a way to stick them in this area without building vertically up above the seats, which I'm not above doing. I think I know the answer, but just to make sure: will a pair of 10" RF P2s outperform this 8" in a ported box on the same power? The main drawback is the cones would have to be up above the seat because I don't think I can squeeze them in otherwise. The only other option is motor to motor with the cones facing the driver and passenger's feet respectively, but even with inverted phase on one it's far from ideal. Thanks for the visual aid, though I'm still trying to figure out how to do the feet with a slot port at the end of the box. It seems on these boxes one of the sides of the box also acts as a port wall. If I were to extend this side to lift the box up, it would also lengthen the port outside the box. I don't need the specifics, but this will probably skew the tuning, right? Should I reduce the port height (length? the longer measurement at the opening) to add feet above and below it, design it so the opening isn't all the way at the edge, or move two of the feet towards the center and away from the port, but altering the center of gravity? It's FWD so I don't have a hump to deal with, so I'm either going to bolt some feet down somehow or, if I can get enough surface area flush with the floor, use some heavy duty velcro. [/QUOTE]
