What to do with 0.5 ft^3 .... gross :(

I've been looking at Tang Band's subs for my next application, a center console installation for a Jeep Wrangler. Obviously, with such little volume, it will be a sealed enclosure.

First option is a single 8, however good 'ol Tang Band, I can't find any recommended volume information.

Then I got to thinking about either a pair of 6.5's, or a pair of 5.25s.... Again, I don't know any information on their recommended volumes.

The 8's

pair of 6.5's should be optimal sealed in .5..... could probably port the 5.25's with that and i've seen and heard many setups using these subs and they are NOT to be underestimated. I know someone on here has a setup of 4 6.5's in 1 cube (.25 each) sealed and says its pretty good... i think its italianstylin or something like that....

Going in an older wrangler... I'll need the therapeutic massage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif:laugh:

Those 5.25's are tempting, but I'm thinking about getting the 6.5's for the much needed cone area. (Rough numbers of 43 vs 66)

Well I bought the wrangler today... And got a chance to look closely at the interior. It has 2 Roadmaster 6x9's in the back in separate ported enclosures. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif:laugh://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

No front speakers. Fail.
