    is there a way you could angle the sub so it is still downfiring, but where the magnet is further foward then the cone? so it is kinda down and toward the rear. or even you you just face them towards the read, then still they wouldnt be seen. just a thought...

    I know I'm lazy, but what's the recommended vol for those subs?

    im putting the 12s in a 1.8 ft^3 box
    if i went with the 10s...id be putting them in a .6ft^3
    im going a little bigger to compensate for the lack of power

    Here you go Cody... I have made up a solution for you to use, the box is made of 1" wood, and you can get your downfiring benefits as well as your lack of band-pass sounding output. the only thing is the seat will have to sit level on top of it instead of that awful looking slant you made for the other box ;)

    I will try to figure out the vas on this if you can tell me how wide I can use to figure it.

    Here it is, straight off the PC:

    Also I'd recommend the sides and the middle (around the tranny hump) to be the full square to the floor, as to keep the assemble from falling over forward and to support the weight of passengers.

    thanks, but thats not going to work
    i tried doing something similar to that and no matter what i did, something would always not fit
    for one, it cant be 18" across the top...it would stick out 2" more than the current one at the top
    also, the back can only be 6.5" tall because the seat slants up
    i also thought about...well i can always just push up around the magnet, but the way it would have to be angled would put the magnet right on a rail that doesnt give
    im just going to forward fire and get those high excursion grills off of partsexpress
