2013 XLT- Stealth Center Console Help
Hi Folks
I currently have a 2013 xlt crew cab that is desperately do for a stereo upgrade.
I have a good handle on the door speakers, HU, Amps.
my trouble lies with the subwoofer.
my rear seats spend almost 90% of their life folded up. I use that in cab storage consistently. that being the case a normal under the rear seat configuration is not going to work for me.
This leads to the thought of putting the sub were the jump seat currently is placed.
My plan is to do a full custom center console. It would need to look stealth(matching colors, relatively same size as the jump seat, storage on top, cupholders). With some preliminary measurements i found i could fit 1.0-1.5 cuft of airspace for the sub. sealed and ported are both an option. If ported i would try and put the round port facing the front(relatively hidden). The sub in all configurations needs to be down firing to keep it stealth.
The subs that I believe would work are as follows:
ported:
10w6
FI Q 10
SA-10
maybe 2 SA-8
Sealed:
10w7
12w6
FI Q 12
Im looking for better sq then my previous ported 12 type r that was in an accord. But i would like at least the output I had with the type r.
Is something like this possible?
If so any recommendation on the sub/box configuration?
Recommendation for fabricators in north/central California?
P.S.
previous sub system was in an accord ported 12 type r on 700wrms
