Yeah, the LMS coil is the whole point of getting an LMS sub. Honestly, it's not even a LMS anymore, just a normal sub with a normal coil. The LMS tech in the coil is what keeps the BL so linear and allows ~3" of clean excursion.
Most shops are clueless on how to actually design and calculate for a given ported volume/tuning, which is why most of us do it ourselves or have someone actually reputable do it for us.
Not trying to intrude, but I have some 2/0 terminals if anyone needs some to go along with your purchase of this man's wire...not trying to step on your toes andale, I'll edit this if you want me to.

Item(s) for Sale: 8 gauge AudioPipe wire in RED and BLACK
Item(s) Description/Condition:
Brand new, off the spool...only have 250ft of each. This actually looks to be pretty nice wire, and looks like OFC to me. I did a comparison pic next to some of my Phoenix Gold 8 gauge, and they seem to be identical after twisting them as tight as I could.
Price:
$.40 per ft, minimum of 10ft (5' black and 5' red)
Shipping and Miscellaneous Item Information:
$5 for purchases up to 30ft
$10 for purchases of 40ft or more
Item Pictures:
Comparison pic next to my PG 8 gauge(AP top and PG bottom)...pretty much identical.
Yes, the port area is way too small. Try getting 2.25-2.5ft^3 net volume, with 30-35in^2 of port. The box will be about 50% larger than what you have right now, but the larger volume and port area will make it a good deal more efficient also.
Meh, I look at it as making the dimensions easier to work with for the builder. Hell, you'd be surprised how many people can't even read a tapemeasure.
I do that to take up volume in order to make dimensions easier to work with. Like instead of having the sealed chamber be 9 9/16" deep, I'll just make it 10" and kill some volume with a 45 inside the chamber.
its going on my backseat of my 2004 silverado 1500 ext cab, im going to have it behind the drivers seat.
If you have the space to leave a few inches between the box and driver side panel back there, I would fire the sub up and fire the port towards the side.
Never ever go by factory recommended enclosures...they are 99% of the time not optimal at all. They'll tell you to use small boxes and small ports so that you can fit more of their equipment in your install, instead of giving you specs for a higher performing enclosure.
