Does anybody have a 1 or 2x12 enclosure over the back seat?

I have 3 w1v2 10s right now in a custom box behind my back seat in my 2003 screw. it sounds ok but i just bought a 12 JLw7 that I plan on puttin in place of the 10s. To save some money I planned on building or having a ported box built that sits over the middle4 section of the back seat. Does anybody have anything similar to this, just so I can get an idea? Pics???
Thanks

I've seen a few sealed done up in a L shape that sits over the seat and floor area. Ported, not so much. I think the shape would be hard to get a port to be noise free bending a port like that. Maybe if you used short aero port though. I'm running a standard ported box at the moment and I have to say these subs are really impressive running this way. Check out www.fishercustoms.com he's done up some really impressive designs and might be able to make something work for you. He can build or just make you plans and the price is good.

You can bend the port and not get noise.

Current daily:
Fi Q 12" in 2.5 cu/ft @ 33 hz built by BJ @ Fisher Customs.



BJ is building me a new box for an eD 13Av.2 at the moment, 2 cu/ft @ 30 hz, two 3" aeros, and will eventually be building me a 14+ cu/ft monster for two 18's :]

Notes: The box IS strapped down, just not in the picture.

Sorry, lol I did not mean to put the 4. just the middle portion of the seat. I want a box to be built in an "L" shape and placed over the middle seat in the rear. it will be attached to the floor right behind the console in the middle and come up in an "L" shape over the back seat.

I did have all my pictures in my photo album but somehow it got deleted so I will make another one really quick for yall to take a look at.

Why don't you just put 4 10's or 4 12's behind the rear seat ? You won't be taking up any seating space and it won't be in plain view to thieves . It looks like the subs in your current setup are smashed right against the backseat . It's a wonder you get any sound out of them .

Bro i barely have room for the three 10's I know for sure I wont fit 4 or even 12s. the JL TW5 is a bad speaker but they are a little pricey. Plus I already have the 12w7

I thought you know someone from an audio store . Surely they can fit 4 10's or 4 12's behind the seat .
