Will this Fit?

I have had my eyes set of a boston accoustics SPG555 for well over a year now and can finally make the purchase. My question is whether or not the SPG555's ported enclosure that boston makes for the sub will fit into the cargo area of my 1994 ford ranger extended cab. From my understanding i could either have the sub face the towards the bed of the truck of towards the center console. (the port is located on the end of the box) the diemnsion of the box are as follows "30-1/8"W x 13-3/4"H x 18-3/16"D1 x 14-13/16"D2"

Based on the measurements alone it is a tight fit. What i am more afraid of is the amount of excursion that could be possible when pushed by an alpine PDX 1.1000. Is there anyone out there that has seen this configuration in action. Does it Work?

I refuse to put the subwoofer in a postion where it will be damaging itself by bumping against the back of the console.

So you know the design or construction of this box is inferior? 'Prefab' is not always a bad thing, especially when the box is made by the manufacturer, for the specific driver being used. In fact, many times a reputable manufacturer (like Boston) puts quite a bit more R&D into the design and construction than does the average DIY'er.

Thats exactly what i am thinking. I have been quite amazed by the workmanship boston puts into each of its products. I am sure they designed this box to so the spg555 with be near its optimum performance.

I have measured the truck and I said in the original post it is a tight fit. What i am worried about is the sub itself bumping against the back of the center console while in action.
