Right now I have a single 15" (zcon w/ warden recone) and a taramps dsp3k with a single 6" aeroport 3.8cf^3 @35hz after displacements. It's not enough spl for my liking but I can't make the box any bigger and keep the wife happy with trunk space.
I purchased two sa-12's and was thinking of building a similar spec box. I've read around that ported forward facing is more Sq than spl and you heat distortion more. I won't have to push my amp as hard since the sa-12's won't take as much as my current sub (I think) so I shouldn't worry as much about clipping my amp :dontknow:
My rear seats don't fold down so the subs will be facing the the rear seat backs but with my 6" aeroport centered with my skipass with the box sealed off.
I like the rear firing box idea but I hate worrying about my sub being damaged and if I build a forward facing box, it will be angled towards the rear seat to avoid wasting space.
I only have a few inches of space around the box for the bass to travel into the cabin since my box is tall/wide
I just want the most spl with this set up. That's why I went with more cone area
