My First Box

This is going to be a sealed box for my dad's truck. Could I do ported? Probably, but small spaces combined with my lack of skill is telling me not to go that route. Moving on to my question.

I just want to double check my measurements. Gross, the box is supposed to be H-10 D-5 W-20. So when it comes time to cut, I would need to cut it by:

Front: 8.5 x 20

Sides: 3.5 x 10

Top: 18.5 x 5

Is this correct? I'll have a internal volume of ~.32 cubic feet.

One more question. He has a 4 channel amp that bridged does 100x2 @ 4 ohms. If I got a D4 sub, could I connect one coil on one channel, and the other on the second channel? Or would that cause a problem?

Thanks!

You may be offended by the above. Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive.

Why only 10 high what are your putting in there an 8?

And you will probably need a shallow mount sub since your mounting depth can only be 3.5 max. Is there a reason the box has to be so small.

Subs are like titties, They need to come in pairs because ones and threes are just wrong, and larger amounts will always draw a crowd, we all have our favorite sizes, but the bigger ones are more fun to watch move. :D

Words to live by.

Yeah it's an 8. The box has to be small because it's going behind the seat. I could do an underseat box, but the depth would still be about the same.

I thought the mount depth was measured from the outside baffle to the back wall?

Dern. So is the .5 inch between the woofer and the back wall a hard and fast rule, or something used so that you leave yourself some leeway in case your box is slightly smaller than planned?

I'll get maximum size tomorrow.

Just realized that this may not work so well.
