    {"They will be 8"L7 d2 and of course with minimal space in a single cab i need to use close to the .33 cubic sealed for sound quaility.}"

    {"They are going to be last years model and i will wire them in pairs at four ohm load per pair i am using ppi amps and they are at their best at a four ohm load bridged"}

    Ok cool, i'll find the specifications, just need your measurements.

    I will get those measurements of the truck for you, it will have to be a truck style box of course and i want to try to fit my amps in the middle of the box flushed mounted to the box with a beauty cover over it make it look clean.

    hmmm, i can't get a good output on these, reminds me of the rockford fosgate sub i had, found out later it was for spl mostly. I know you don't want to wire them like this but it's just easier for me for now lol. I'll mess around more tommorow. So .33cu feet is like 10 liters, so the box is roughly 40 liters.

    no problem, the way these subs are responding in bassbox it doesn't look like these subs are good for SQ, unless i have something wrong i'll try again later on. You might want to look for another sub for SQ. Azn? Maybe he can run it through winisd or recommend something.

    I've built a couple boxes for solobarics. They just model weird.

    What are you max dimensions again??

    If you can I'd go with .5 cu ft sealed per sub.

    Did you want the cheese shaped box lol, is that like all the room you have behind the seat? Here's 2 cubic feet, it's a little better.
