Always been curious about this kind of design. Box builders, do you see any issues arising with a box designed like this? I don't know much about enclosure design. Would there be loading issues? I checked around the site and google as well, but didn't come up with much to reference. Thanks!

 

EDIT: It would be a combination of a behind the seat box and a center console box, for single cab trucks.

The design looks good, what subs will you use

Probably some lower end CT Sounds 12's, something that would fit in a sub ~6 inch mounting depth. Was just wondering if the design would actually work well and not have loading issues.

So the port would be by the dash?

that's the way it looks.

i would avoid the port being up front.  put it in the back up firing between the subs.  L shape the port down and forward.  if you run the port that far forward and away from the subs it may sound odd like people with the sub back port up in a hatch.  plus if you run your port up front it is more likely to have things dropped in it you will have to fish out.

I'm not too concerned about stuff getting dropped into the port, but I never really thought about the port orientation in regards to the sub mounting plane. Does this make a big difference?

my biggest concern for you (more educated box designers can que in anytime now) would be the fact your bass is kind of coming from two locations in the car.  it could cause some cancellation i would imagine or just not sound natural.  like when you have a rear fill that is loud enough to over power your front stage when you have a seat back to far.  i would run the port in the back.  it's a fail safe location in my opinion.

 I see what you're saying, thanks. That does make sense. Hopefully someone who has experience with this type of box design can chime in!

Bump. Any other box builders have any suggestions/objections about this?
