build it. There is no pointers. Even if you raise the seat 2", you're only going to get about 2.3 cu ft from it (then minus the port and driver displacement). I was going to do the same, but gave up. To get enough airspace for a good ported box, youd have to utilize the console area too along with under the rear seats. Subthump boxes FTW.

even if you do, youre not going to gain enough space to warrant the trouble and PITAness.

if you arn't a box builder....you are wasting money even attempting to build your own ported box. I'm sure that anything you build will be to small, the port won't be tuned and the sub will sound muddy as hell
go to a local shop and buy a box

That must have been one small sub and port to only take up .25 cu ft. The port I was looking at making took up around .3 alone.
ok so im about to build the box but was wondering if the specs of the sub effect how the box is shaped or what have you. any heads up? i know ported boxes need to use all the T/S specs to take advantage but yeah what about sealed? just cubic feet?
