I'm going to attempt to build a sub box to fit into the passenger floor of an 80's Porsche 911. If you're familiar with that car, the passenger floor has a wood board that has an area behind it that has housed various things during the course of production, and in my case it has a junction box for the factory fader, which splits the 2 channel radio to 4 channels through common ground wiring. Since I'm going to be running new wires I can eliminate this stuff and I have an irregularly shaped space to work with. The board is big enough for an 8" subwoofer, and I'm planning on using a low profile sub that only requires around 3.5" depth. I know that I need to baffle it somehow and was planning on a sealed enclosure, but I'm not exactly sure how to come up with the dimensions or accurately measure the available space. I was thinking the simple solution would be to just seal the entire area behind the driver with Dynamat and tape and forego an enclosure, or use a foam baffle behind the driver. Both would be a compromise of course. I guess my question is if there's any kind of shortcut method to determining the what's going to fit if I build a box without trial and error. The system is nothing too elaborate, upgraded speakers in the factory locations (4x6 rear, 5.25 doors) and 5 channel amp.
Thanks!
Thanks!
