    would some one be willing to design me a box to fit 1 15" memphis M3 for my 99 reg cab dodge? im wanting to take out the 12" and have the box for the 15 to be mostly behind the seats with the sub facing out between the seats. i want it vented for SPL but still sound good and hit at a higher frq more for rock music.

    so some one that has the program to design a box could i get your help with this? i will have to get the mesurements later when it's light out if some one is willing?

    Nothing hard about the Dodge Box. And you have room.

    yea that is the basic shape but the sub will be in the middle and probly have to stick out a few inches. because the M3 has to have 7 or 7.5" of mounting depth if i remember right. the part of the box behind the seats can't be that deep. also there is a storage compartment that the box will have to sit on. i will get some pics to show more of what we have to work with here.

    Remove the storage compartment, thats what I did in the Dodge in the picture. Also, your center console thing is a problem. It don't move forward or backward with the seats. Its stationary. Thats why the seat was removed to install the box in the picture

    ok i checked the memphis web site they are 7.5" mounting depth. so the sub will have to stick out in the middle.

    i don't think i need to take out the storage thing i can still use it. perfict place for spare parts since this truck is used for work. i can just slide oil filters and stuff under the sub box. right now the center seat is out because that is where my 12" sub is now.

    mostly i would like to know how to setup the vent in the box. the rest of it i prity much know what i need to do.

    ok i think i have a good rough idea of how the box will be.

    this way i will have about 3.5 cubic foot of air space.

    i still need to do the rest of my math but with this setup all i need to do to adjust the air space is build the part between the seats longer or shorter.

    what do you think?
