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

[Triticum Agricolam]

Can you tell me if the port I posted above is correct? An SA-10 tuned to 35hz in a 1.25ft^3 box should have a round 4" port 19" long?

Yup, that's right.

Once again did you calculate port and sub displacement? If you did not you tuning will be off and you box will be smaller then what you think it is.

Edit: you can get your subs displacement from where you bought it from. Port displacement I don't know how to figure lol but it needs to be factored in

I think Q-logic might have a box that replaces factory seat bottom. If so it wont be cheap but retaiins factory look and adds bass up front. Just an option no one else has mentioned.

I did not but the displacement is only .10 ft^3 so the box would still be in the recommended range. I don't think it would be much to bump it up slightly though to accommodate the sub displacement. I don't have a clue on the port either though...how to figure that in. I'm guessing it would be around .15 ft^3 but I could be way off.

Checked...not for my year truck. There's others though that have boxes that fit under the rear seat. I considered them...still am, but I kinda like the idea of building my own box too. Of course I could build one under the rear seats, I'd have to do fiberglass though to make it work. It's something I might play with in the future if I don't like the console box idea.

my center console box is 1.23 cubic feet. has an l shaped port tuned to 32 hz. slams really good. running a kicker cvx 12, with a kicker zx 1000.1

have a 2.5 inch clearance from floor to sub. dimensions are 24.5 x 15. 9.5' in depth. (these are outside dimensions using 3/4 inch mdf)

port sizes.

port length 1: 7" x 13.5"
port length 2: 16" x 13.5"

if you have a smart phone there's a bunch of apps that will help you. if i were you i would build as big as i can! build your own cup holders in.it if need be and tune as low as possible! my ideal box for your application would be 2 cubic feet tuned to 30hz if not a Lil lower.

I'll do some math tonight and see how big I can comfortably build in the space that I have.
