Gotcha thanks. So the bend in the port isn't critical to round over? Would it hurt to do it? Curiosity.

Looks like time to make a cutlist and head to the BORG!

 

Yes, rounding the bend also helps, + adding a 45 angle pc of wood to that corner helps improve air flow.

 

Here's a pic of the box I'm building. Complete with angles.

 

Cool. Glue and screws? Any tips on assembly sequence?

 

Glue & screws or brad nails... As for tips on assembly.... Use a square, make the inner port & front baffle first. Then all the rest of the sides, top goes on last. Don't be afraid of the glue. Use lots and wipe it off after it's all screwed/nailed together. If your going to use screws, I ALWAYS predrill.

 

Excellent! One last question - cutout centred on the front baffle, the box, or the rear port plate?

Thanks for the help and insight!

 

Front centered usually works well (same side as the port), your port is long enough that the sub should load nicely off the back of it.

It might also load well if mounted from the top of the box. This is where trial comes into play.

Good luck man! Happy building!

 

Sorry to resurrect this post from the dead, but I finally got the system installed.

Currently ported box per the above design by DeadlySones, but I have the sealed sitting there to try later.

I am a happy camper! Sounds great so far, but it just fired this afternoon for the first time. I still have to build a rack for the amps, probably in the back corner across from the spare as there is nice metal under the carpet on the wall for a mounting point. They're screwed to a piece of plywood on the floor right now. Once I decide which box I prefer I'll cover it and the rack to match the truck and it'll look good too!

Thanks all for the help and answers.
