Fiberglass ported box plans

i think if you carefully select your driver, and find one that needs the lest amount of space to sound its best, you could build a .7~1.0cu ft sealed enclosure. using the last picture you posted for reference, make the enclosure to fit the driver side of the red line. make the back out of FG, molding it to every curve there is on the walls and floor. the front of it make it in MDF. then measure the internal volume of the enclosure, then make it all pretty, and last but not least go buy the sub that will play well in that enclosure volume you just built. there allot of guys that have built similar enclosures that might be able to give you detail advise on how to do it.

PS: i know you want ported. but when space is limited, a sealed enclosure should do just fine.

or build a ported box like this one. that will lay against the back seats.

I am using the right corner to try and accomplish the same thing. I am using this side because there is more room on that side before hiting the spare tire well. If you want a ported box fopr a 12" then you are going to use a considerable amount of trunk. You might as well kiss your(little) space good bye.

The concept works great. But I don't think you have enough room to go ported with your size restrictions. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

w7 would be a good choice for a sealed application if you can afford it. If not look into a w6 they still get pretty loud sealed and cost alot less.

My memphis prs are loud as hell but I never heard them sealed so I cant say for sure how they would sound in a sealed box.

I might end up doing a sealed enclosure in the corner just to keep things simple, especially since ive never had a system before. What are some subs that would do extremely well in a sealed enclosure? Ya i want it to get loud, thats why im spending all of this money...im thinking i should just save for a 12 w7

Wise choice brother man. You should have plenty of room to build a very sturdy sealed enclosure. And still access the spare with no probs. I'm not a big promoter of brands. I would say try to listen to as many in a sealed application as you can.
