[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8797383, member: 591582"] What happens with seats usually is the top is angled backwards, and motors hit the top angled piece. You really need to make sure that doesn’t happen with bigger woofers. A lot of 8’s have huge motors compared to their cutout diameter, so watch out on your depth. I listen to a ton of electronic music, and yes, electronic music has some of the widest bandwidth bass. I’ve done many underseat boxes and designs, and 4 beefy 8’s or similar barely fits, with the motors. I’ve done underseat bandpass boxes, even, both 4th and series 6th orders. You’ll be able to play down to 30 hz and probably lower, if you tune the box correctly and all, with just a ported. I really think the SSA 8’s are the quickest or easiest way you could do this, but fitting 10’s is awesome, if you can realistically fit them. The SSA 8’s have 19 mm xmax iirc and only want .55 cubes per 8, so you can do 4 in about 2.2 cubes and that’s not nearly as hard to fit as say 4 8’s that want .75+ cubes per woofer, and they have a 32 Fs or so, which should really be good for what you want, IMO.
