Nic

Too lazy to do the math, but what's the airspace for the subs? Also what are those circles?

The circles on the front slanted edge are supposed to be the subs! I had it mocked up and checked the dimensions and it was like 16' by 10' so I had to scale it down in SketchUp and it distorted the circles a bit, as for the math I haven't done it yet, but I'm hoping for about a cube to a cube and a quarter per sub

Cool

Which way is front and which way is the rear? Are the subs firing towards the windshield or towards the rear seats?

It will be towards the windshield, gonna get the precise flow of the floor where it raises for the rear seat brackets when it stops raining!

Thanks man! gonna get working on and hopefully have it done in the next couple of weeks! Class and a new job just started up so this will be a weekend project at best, still gotta find a second seat as well as hopefully doing the expy bucket and console swap up front, but having a real struggle finding any in charcoal, especially a rear 40 in charcoal

Not sure if it's possible with your design, but having the subs fire towards the back wall will sound a lot better from the front seats.

Yea, as I've looked at it while trying to get all the pieces I'm going to need together Im thinking that more and more, just not too sure if I'll have enough space to do so.

I'll be doing a full Navi seat and console swap while I'm doing this, and charcoal seats are scarce in the Austin TX area

I have the same console out of the navi in my truck. I have a 97 extended cab with the back seat taken out and a box with 4 12 inches subs.....the box i see that you are designing might work, but you cant be using anything bigger then an 8 inch sub.....if you use 2 10 inch subs your front board where the subs mount would need to be larger. i also think that this is way to small of an enclosure if you are going with 10 inch subs and up....as for cup holders....good luck with that...the bass from that box will shake the hell out of whatever is on it
