Need help with center console box idea...and sub selection


Nubster

Recommended Posts

Run a single 12" unless your wanting the 8's for a reason. My prefab slot port box fits between the seats so I know it can be done.

I just figured the 8" sub would match my music better and the smaller box would work better as well. Even though I have the room to build long and high, I don't want a huge box between the seats. Certain no high than what's in there now which is about 17" total including the flip up storage compartment. I was planning to reinstall that onto the box so retain that storage and armrest. If that's not possible, I was going to build the box into a whole new console. I certainly don't object to a 12" sub but I'm not sure there's room to do a ported box and still maintain what I'm trying to do. Maybe I'll play with some box dimensions and see what I can come up with.

I still need help figuring out porting though.

I'm sure you could build the box low enough to re-install the arm rest on top of the box if you extended the box close to or touching the front of the rear seats.

I was looking into possibly a down fire box for my 99 but I cant find anyone else who has built a center consul box for a 2 gen dodge to gain any opinions.

Yeah, I'd say most likely. I'd like to not have to do that if possible, but that's an option. I'm pretty sure I can squeeze the 1.25ft^3 in the space I have...I just need help with the port.

That 1.25 cubic feet is that before sub and port displacement? If not then your box is actually smaller then you think.

I would say stay with the 8 or single 10 and do ported using a aero port tuned to about mid to low 30's if you tune it to 40hz you will have highs but lose out a lot on the lowes
