With a sealed, downfiring box, I would like to know what is suggested. In the picture below, the dotted line signifies where the subs are mounted, 1" above the floor. Would it be better to carve out some area where the speaker can have air move freely (in front of the sub, not behind), like article b below? It would seem to me that the top example would constrict air in front of the sub, and muffle the sound since it will be enclosed.

 
yes. cut it out and make little feet. otherwise, well.. you wont be moving air in the cabin, just in the box and that part thats aimin at the floor.

tell me, did you really need to ask this question? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/satan.gif.9c6a335ed7aeeed3ee273e573f1fcaac.gif

 
lol req, my instincts told me that i needed the feet. someoen else told me it wouldnt matter, so it raised some doubt.. thats all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

this is going under the seat of an extended cab sierra.. very limited space. i did downfiring because i heard it was the best for ext cab pickups.

 
some pics of the box.. i will be cutting the feet tomorrow night, as well as adding the binding posts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif carpetting should happen this weekend!
