SA 12 will work fine in that space

That will work with some Poly fill added.I have an SA12 put it in a 1.34 @36 and sounded like azz on 600 rms then added polly and did much better.But a ten will still perform so much better in my opinion,or a pair of 8s

I was originally going to put the Dayton in my boat but ended up choosing a dc level 3 due to the low sensitivity. I was afraid it wasn't going to be loud enough. I run 3 sets of ck6 components @ 200 rms that get pretty loud. My current port is 7.5 tall 2 wide and 22.5 long. Parts express told me to build a 1.36 box @ 27 hz. I don't think I can get the tuning close without dismantling my box or making the port width smaller. I'm ok with just getting a temporary sub for my trip and waiting for the dc to get built for the long term. I figured an sa12 would hold a decent resale if I go the temp route. If there is a sub that will perform as good or better that is readily available to ship then I will definitely go that route. Thank you so much for the suggestions.

Not the loose kind, the thicker kind in sheet form you can adhere to walls without it being blown off to the port. Makes minimal difference, its audible but nothing ground breaking.
