How did you fit your after market Subs?

cab83_750

For those of you who inquired about my boxes, the dimensions are 17" x 3.75 x 10.25.

My experience and some details:

1. I built one first for the driver side to ensure that I did not lose any leg room; thus the dimensions. Satisfied, I built the second one. Note that my brother who is 5'10 required more legroom and he wanted the box out when he test drove the car; what I am saying here is these boxes fit my driving position --- it may not fit yours. So build one first.
2. The speaker is off-centered and sits lower to the floor to allow the woofer to expand without the seat interfering.
3. The TangBand subs appeared to be only one the fit my needs.
4. I used a speaker-box-calculator to determine the volume required.
5. The bass coming from these boxes are more than enough for me. It may not for you --- "music (or bass) is to ear of the beholder!!!!
6. I do have Dynaudio components so I am not sure if the Dynos produce some bass that complement the subs.

Cheers!

thanks for this! i am building a "wedge" type sealed box for my elemental designs sq10 which i will be putting behind the driver seat (no one drives the car but me). i wanted a reference for the width of the box - 17" is perfect! should pair perfect with the sq10 considering mounting depth is only 3" and a 9mm Xmax (distance speaker cone travels)

dimensions (Height x Width x Depth (top) x Depth (bottom): 12"x17"x4"x5"

should look similar to this when finished:
