wall plans for 15's

can someone help me out with some plans for a 3/4 wall in my 99 s10 ext cab, here are the details

truck - 99 s10 ext cab (no 3rd door)
subs - 2 15" sundown audio nightshades

im looking to tune to 35 hz, subs forward port... not sure where to fire it

43" long, 15" or less deep, 26-28 inches tall, 26 would be more ideal.

this is for daily! not spl, i want it to slam the low notes, but sound good on every thing else. let me know what you guys think. thanks!

are you looking to stay under the window line?
any reason why you dont wanna fully wall it.

your going to need epic amounts of port area and a tuning around 33-35hz

I understand your reason behind not going a full wall...

But it would be soooo muuucchhhh bettterrr to fully wall it. Better results, higher db's, and the potential for nasty hairtricks

Honestly, a wall will give you such good results, you'll never wanna go back.

If you still choose not to do a wall, your looking at around 6 cubic feet (after all displacements) subs up (if it can fit) and port to the side or facing up

dont want to fully wall, i know it would be better, but i dont want to, and i want the subs to face forward if they can, ive done sub up port up, and it didnt sound that great to me, right now i have subs forward port up, and so far its sounded the cleanest. and i wont be able to port to the side as the box will be at each side of the truck, so there wont be room for the port.
