[QUOTE="Flex68, post: 7600675, member: 638503"] Thanks for the info, and letting me know what your experiences were. Much appreciated! Corner-loading via placement under the rear seat sounds like a better way to go, then...plus I don't mind "losing" the miniature storage area. The unfortunate thing is that it is just that: miniature! Total available depth with the "fold-flat" junk taken out is about 9.25" , which is not so bad. The bottom-most part of the storage area, though, is what is of concern due to it's small size of 10"L x 6"W. If I looked at using a box made from .75" MDF, I would be dealing with interior box measurements of only about 7.75"D x 8.5"L x 4.5"W ! Now, granted, this storage area does "flare" outward so that the upper portion of any enclosure would be able to be built larger than the above measurements, but I have a hard time picturing any 12" sub working well, or having longevity, in such a small MDF enclosure...thus the hope that a thermoformed/composite enclosure of high quality would offer a better option (?) Wish I could look at the pre-engineered Stealth Boxes or a good custom Fiberglass box, but I just can't allocate that much $$ to them. The .707 "Q" you mention: I am unsure what you are referring to, here. (Bandwidth control for the lows, controlled via the HU?) .707 * a certain crossover number? Sorry, but that is prolly waaaay over my head, lol. Hope to learn, tho!! Thanks a bunch for the response and info; much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
