need to design enclosure for 2 sa8's

[Joe X]

If you took the whole width and not only the 24"W looks like you could, in cars space is more valuable than efficiency, since the subs are in a near free air environment they will likely not take full rated without reaching mechanical limits.

I'm curious to as why you.only want to put the box right behind the driver seat? just to save room? if you did 14x24x14 you Would have a lil over 2cubes to work with. that's more then.enough for 2 8s. but If you used the entire back of your truck your options sky rocket! you could T-line or even do a forth order. with th 4th you could put the subs in the box paint it with bedliner and use it as a shelf when needed.

if it was my truck I'd go fourth. 2cubes sealed 2 cubes vented around 37hz have the port on the driver side.

just my 2cents

o ok i see so in my application it doesn't really make sense

my reason for having it only behind the driver seat is that i often keep tools in there and want to keep the ability to hold tools and things behind the passenger seat while still having room for a passenger. this is my daily driver/work vehicle so i need to keep that functionality currently. ultimately within the next year or 2 it will be a secondary vehicle or at least not one that i use for work, and when that happens i'll probably do something that takes up all that space or even do a blow through. but like i said currently i need to keep the space on the passenger side, so for me this is just a small nice set up to enjoy for a year or 2

i see, but you Can put tools on top of a box. you could make it a shelf if you wanted to. I'm not saying I'm just saying. i always try to plan ahead instead of settling now and building later. the box could be shorter and thinner it would just be longer. I'm not pressuring you into doing it. I'm just letting you know a forth can have the subs completely enclosed in the box. so your tools and all that won't hurt them or get in the way. and your passenger would have just as much room as you. think of the box like a shelf instead of just a box. you could even build side rails,.or even a top you Can latch Down. I've seen some crazy stuff made out of boxes. my boy with his s10 built cup holders in his box with a Lil cubby as a make shift glove compartment

OK i mean i definitely see what you mean, and i think its worth consideration for sure. but ultimately i do want to do alot more stuff to this truck so i just keep going back to thinking i should just make a simple good sounding set up and if i dont like it or its boring well then at least i wouldnt have a ton of time and effort put into it (regarding the sub enclosure specifically)

[Aj11]

i get what your saying. i just always go big or go home. you'll never be happy with this hobby! every time you'll go bigger. that's the sad truth

[lgnmgr]

I messed around with torres and this is what i have. Any thoughts or recommendations on changes i should make? or does this look appropriate? for the 2 sa 8s

I could be wrong but 40 in long port in a 23 in wide box= no good to me

If you went 11in to the back wall of the box and turned there then you have to go another 29 in and you only have 21 to use. Unless you add another bend in the port.
