Look man. If you want something decent save your money.

I'm not sure I want the seat sticking up too far out the back window, there's only a couple of inches of leather before it looks bad through the window / obstructs the view out the back. 2.5" or so would put it right at the level of my toolbox viewing through the rear view... perfect for me. I think I will make it out of 2.5" square tubing.

Do you have the dimensions of yours or would you be willing to share? Anything you could give me would save me tons of time with the pencil!

You have to build your seat lift first... You can't really design a box until you can take exact measurements of what your going to be dealing with...

I've got a seat lift thread on here somewhere on how I did mine

I don't think I'm cheaping out, I'm just not going all out. This is twice the system compared to the last one I built for myself, and multitudes better than what's in there now. I'm a full time college student on a budget.

If there are better options at comparable prices I'd love to hear about them!

They are built to order... Gotta be willing to wait for it lol... The hds10s should do you fine... Just know my box required me to lift seat 2" that's how I got it to 2 cu... You could easily go 3" seat lift and have plenty of air space

That's 2 cubes including port and speakers, correct?

Right on, thank you. I'm calculating 2.65 cu. ft.^3 including port, before speaker displacements if I raise the seat 2" and keep the trans hump like you did for amp clearance. Pretty spot on my friend!

 

[chubbza5]

Displacement is .33 cubes per sub, leaving me at 1.99 cu ft total box volume including port and speakers. Incredible how close they are!

Now you just gotta make sure they will mount without getting wedged

No way is the displacement that high bud

Typical displacement for a 10" woofer is .12 cu

I owned a 00 gmc sierra.
Our floor is raised right below the bench seat and the seat bolts on each sode with two bolts each.

NNBS crew cabs have bucket seats that leave the entire floor panel flat allowing more space to be used.

Mounting a piece of wood to the back wall and mounting the amp should be fine.

The heatsink in most amps will help clear the heat.

Especially if you are going to be running anything lower then 2.5k watts.

Wrong there is a tranny hump to contend with and the back seat is a bench that I believe they call a 60/40 split. I believe your ext will also have about 21/2 to 3 inches more mounting depth. I know jl audio made a stealthbox for these with 10w6v2's that were rear facing and I believe that was without a seat lift.

The 10's in there now are front facing and fit fine, about 11" stock height front of seat, 7" rear, with 15" depth to the front of the seat before the hump in the rear.

I was reading this page...

SoundQubed HDS310

Maybe that's the entire unit? Can't seem to find another value for them.

Subwoofer Displacement

Just did a build with two hds208's front firing port to the sides tuned to 35hz on a 2200.1 @ 1ohm and it gets down. The roof in the silverado is like Paper, it's annoying. Going to have to dampen the entire top because it jiggles around so bad.
