ok so the measurments i have with my seats and air tank in are 36"wide 17"deep30" tall so by the re site box builder its around 7.65 cubic feet,which from what ive heard thats borderline underspec im looking for the 35 hertz port tune for the suv ,but im also intrested in spl so im considering loosing one of my rear seats to make spec numbers around 9 or 10 but is it gonna be worth it and is all this bracing ive been hearing about really needed , my first real serious build so i know alittle but not enough to get the quality i want oh yea gonna start off with a audio pipe 3000d hopefully 2 later on and gonna slowly build the elecrical 225amp,2 yellow tops

bracing needed? yes. never skimp on bracing. youll just end up redoing it later. better to do it right the first time.

Just wall it off. No point in doing a rearward facing setup with the box all the way to the roof since you won't be able to see out of the back anyways.

Take the backseat out. That's what I did //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

so speaker placement and facing direction seems to be crucial in getting the right sound not really into walled off forward facing setups but would it sound better than the same size box firing up with plently off clearence to the roof

Fire it up, ports rear.

Don't think I wanna loose my back seat so if I go with the size I have room for with seats and air tank in what direction is best for the sub to be facing and port facing also again the box goes an inch from the roof 7.65 cubes, spec is 10.0

Just wall it if you're not will to give up more space to cut the height down. It'll look retarded with a rear facing setup with the box an inch from the headliner.

Don't exactly know how to build a wall I could face it forward but about half of the sub face will be covered by the seat and if I was to do so I'm assuming the port facing to the rear ?

any help besides build a wall would be much appreciated im pretty set on my size now just would like to know wear to face the sub and port for the best sound
