Re: Woofers

It's easy, but you're seat will probably need to move forward a couple inches.

I'm housing four (4) 10's behind my seat and we have to keep it about 2-3 inches forward.

Re: Woofers

ebay # 390040760248 , this one is a bass tube , the other is a ported slot.

# 400040961152

a ported box will give you more bass.

Depends on some things like... how much airspace they require(you can reduce it a bit but that'll reduce your low bass repro), how tall you are and how much legroom you need, etc..
I just built an enclosure to go behind my seat, I'm 6' so it needed to be almost all the way back for comfort/safety. I ended up getting about 1 cubic foot of internal volume, since I left a few inches between each end of it and the seat back latches. I believe it is 34-35" long... My 10" called for 1cu ft so it worked out fine and sounds great. I've got 2 8"Bazookas that I could've squeezed back there but in order to get them near the corner for somewhat proper loading they'd interfere with my seat back locking levers on each side so I scratched that idea. My 2 old school 12" RF's(had them since late 80's early 90's) wouldn't fit back there, no way!

Re: Woofers

Give some info.... like the airspace requirements of your pioneers first and foremost. As well as how far from the rear wall you're willing to have the seat. Also if you plan to have it go from one side to the other or what?
