Might I suggest you remove the seat and build a box that replaces the seat? You can for pretty cheap get some nice cushions you could bolt to the box and make it look good. I've done this before. But I had the seats custom made.. One seat per side with the woofers in the middle with a ar rest. Costed like 200$ for the material and to build the seat. It was just as comfortable as any other seat too..

W7 8s are very nice. That's money well spent

I've got a single ported 12tw3 under my back seat. It's clean and plenty loud for me.

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!

Im running a pair of HDS310s (DVC2 ohm)@2 ohms on an older Mmats 300 in 4.0@32 htz in my Honda CRV, and they slamm theyre azzes off just fine. Any more power and Id be doing some roof repairs..lol

I didn't think these were recommended for ported? How did you come up with the dimensions for this?

A guy named chris from mobile toys in college station tx did it for me. He's like an audio god.

What's the specs on that box? Four 8s in a truck would be great

It's on the jl audio website. That may be a little easier.

Here's a dual 8" box with 1.1cube per woofer and the guy will tune it to what you want. Not bad if you don't have wood working skills and need someone else to build u a box.

You notice that it says brand extreme enclosures... It's pre fab and I call bs on them tuning anything custom... I'd definitely pass on the mdf enclosure most likely prefab from sound off audio in favor of Baltic birch from an actual box builder
