[QUOTE="strobe, post: 8669857, member: 676536"] Last post got long & off topic, so starting fresh with a design to run with. Since I value my cargo space, I decided I can come up with the most space if I go with a wide, shallow upfiring design with an aero port facing the rear. This will let me throw a grill over the sub to stack gear on top. I've gone ahead & done a rough design in sketchup, but I still need to figure out port size & its displacement once said & done. Is there any downfall to having a shallow enclosure ported like this? Vehicle : 09 mazda 3 Location in the vehicle: behind rear seats, flat on hatch floor Space available (Length x Width x Height): [LIST][*]Length 20 [*]width 25 [*]height 10 [/LIST] Subwoofer make and model: Alpine SWS-12d4 [LIST][*]qms - 9.43 [*]qes .6 [*]qts .57 [*]fs 34hz [*]xmax 15mm [/LIST] Subwoofer Size: 12 Number of Subwoofers: 1 Type of Port (Kerfed, Slot, Aero, etc.): Aero preferred I think, open to suggestion What type of music do you like?: All styles of electronic - from deep extended low notes, drum & bass, electro/dubstep, & chilled instrunmentals. Is your goal SPL or Everyday Music?: Everyday music Tuning Freq (Hz): 32-35? I want to get low but not at the expense of responsiveness & SQ (old pre fab ported sounded muddy) Volume : Factory recommended is 1.67ft gross 1.4ft^3 net. Proposed design should be around 2.2+ gross [ATTACH]4440._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4441._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
