So I really don't want to put a sub in the trunk of my sol. Not gonna sound good, rattles, space, etc.
No way I can shell out the $$ for a stealthbox right now.
Any ideas where I could put a sub in the cabin?
I was thinking of putting one on top of the compartments in the cabin, but my issue is height and depth. Polk says:

dxi124dvc 2x4ohm

Type - Sealed

Volume - 0.8800 cu. ft

Height - 17"

Width - 15"

Depth - 10 3/4"

The result is a box that will:
Be ok on width
Be wayyyy too deep to fit behind a seat comfortably
Be 1-2 inches too high for me to see over it well

Also that doesn't exactly come out to .88 cu. ft. It comes out 1.04 cu. ft. according to Rockford's calculator. Did they maybe subtract the volume of the sub?

Sooo, any ideas?

Top mount depth is 6 1/16"...
add 3/4 on each side and you get 7 9/16 if the driver was touching, so we will say a minimum depth of 8"...


And according to Rockford's calculator, If I did a 15hx22wx8d Then it would come out to that 1.04 cu. ft.

8" is pushing the comfort of the passenger, and if I center it then me as a driver also, but then again i'm almost 6'

So my question is, with these changed dimensions, would it sound any different? Better/worse?

Is my logic right or am i forgetting something?

Any other ideas?

 

Sorry about the double post.
There is one other thing I thought of.

I could build a wedge style box, pretty much a truck box, according to RF's calculator, with the following dimensions:

3/4" MDF
H:14"
W:24"
BD:9 1/2"
TD: 6 5/16"

This would give me the 1.04 cu. ft. that the dimensions from Polk's site come out to internally.

Now you may be asking why I chose these odd dimensions.

I am trying to keep the box as slim as possible on the top to avoid interference with the seat backs, and trying to keep the bottom of the box under 10" so it doesn't hang over the rear compartments too much. But I also have to keep in mind that the sub needs a minimum depth of 6 1/16", so I am trying to keep the driver from interfering with the box. I ran this through geometer's sketchpad, and it looks like I should have a small buffer between the driver and the box.

Again, is polk subtracting the volume of the sub to get their .88 cu. ft? This is what I want right- 1.04 total?

My only questions again are:
How would the sub sound in this?
Is my logic right?
Aaaand....
Would I bottom out the sub against the box at any point? The depth inside at the farthest point up would be 5 1/16". Not sure if the sub's bracing would hit at any point.

 

You need subs that work in tiny small enclosures

Trunk would seriously be your best bet. Footwell can work, too.

JBL gto 8 works in .33 cubic feet

Another option is the dayton ho 10 which needs .7 cubes, but needs to be externally aero ported.

Or put something im the footwell

 

Those small subs aren't going to give me enough boom.
I want at least 300w
The problem with the trunk is that it is closed off by metal from the cabin, due to the rear window that goes down.
The footwell however isn't a bad idea, I just have to figure out how to fit a sub down there.
