Well i just found out how simple it is to lift the rear seat of my truck which will give me chittons more airspace. HOORAY! Here is a potential box design i will use.

http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forums/genera...r-seat-box.html

With that down-firing design I would get approximately 1.55 ft^3 before sub displacement per sub chamber. or about 3 ft^3 for total airspace.

If i reworked the design and made it up-firing, it would bring the total enclosure volume to about 3.6 ft^3.

So with that amount of space to work with, I want more SQ than SPL but still like to bump from time to time. I used to have 2 RE se12s sealed.(Loved em). I listen to all kinds of music.

Budget - hoping to keep it around $650 for sub/subs and amp. Could be talked into spending $850 but don't really want to.

One problem with equipment recommendations - This new stuff is replacing my last stolen system. So i'm dealing with a replacement firm who can get me almost anything i want except not from companies who sell directly like say from their own website.

Thanks for the help guys. Lovin this site.

Ain't it great learning that you don't have to limit yourself to such a small enclosure?

Anyways, 1.5 cubes (3.0 total) ported would work fantastic for a pair of tens, as opposed to choking off most of the twelves with that size enclosure. I'm thinking a couple of DCON 10's would be pure buttah!

If you want some SSA stuff, you'll have to find a shop that carries them, and order from them (not directly from SSA) - maybe if you grease somebody's palm with something green, they'll play the middleman for you iin your insurance purchases.

AND... if you wanted to face the subs forward, you'd could pick up the space allowed for the subs to fire downward... maybe get you another .3 cubes each? Then, you could conceivably be looking at over 4 cubes..... now you could do 12's!
