04 Silverado Extended Cab Box 4-10's

That seat is raised up a few inches for sure. You could just raise yours up an inch and fit those subs. It would still attach to the back wall in the clips Im pretty sure.

I want to be loud too...Just not sure if I want to port or go sealed. Sealed would be a quick build. Ported would take some actual time. Where did you get those vents from? I don't have a router also, which is a draw back, to round over where the ports would go. I pretty much had all my tools stolen by a crack head. All I have is a dremel. I have to go buy a circular saw and a jig saw just for this project. I won't have money for a router.

I used a piece of 4" PVC for the port and a roundover to smooth out both ends. Sucks about the tools. You will probably have a very hard time porting 4 10" subs under that seat and not raising it up a few inches. I guess it depends on the specs of the subs you want to use too.

I am thinking hard about Type-R's. But I have had RE xxx's, and have also had FI BTL's. I like to hit. But I know I won't fit those under the seat and know the airspace won't allow it, unless I walled it off. Been there done that, not doing it again. Refer to the avatar. Anyways, maybe some entry level FI's or RE's will do. I also get Alpine wholesale and Powerbass. So maybe that would be a better route.

As for the box. I might go sealed first to see how I like it to be simple. Post up results, and if I want louder, then go ported. MDF isn't that much. Fiberglass would be the costly part, but still isn't that bad. And besides, I will still go for the gold on airspace. I will lift the seat about 2 inches and get all the air I possibly can. Then if I don't like the way it sounds...Port the box I have already.

I may end up raising my seat a inch or two, just to get a lil air space...that would help a lot for me, I am realy lacking in airspace right now...

That box for the R i posted above is to Alpine spec except for the port. Damn Type R's are so deep it isnt funny. 4 10's sealed should get plenty loud and sound good too.

The front is 2 layers of MDF. I used a belt sander to shape the curve then finished it up by hand with a sanding block.

Very nice work, If the OP has that kinda skill that is the way to go.
