I am still building my amp rack but will start a build thread here shortly. Still organizing my photos. Hopefully next week I will have something.
I am pushing these 3 MK V's with an AudioControl lc-1.1500 running at 1.3 ohm. Should be around 550 watts a sub, maybe a little more. Ended up getting more internal airspace compared to my initial calculations which was awesome. I believe this box is going to go low and sound very smooth!! Very excited to hear it. Just waiting on the amp. Hoping to have it next week.

Hello Fam,
Have a 2013 f150 supercab and wanted to get some audio done. I have done some research and found out that the majority of sub size for under the seat is 10 inch subs. Has anyone built a box for 12's? I know the mounting depth is limited, but I wanted to see if anyone has a custom box for 12's. Although 10 inch subs will sound good with the right product, I would much rather have 12's under the seat for down firing, even if the seat doesn't go 100% down. Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe this will fit?? Or be close.

How's it look in the truck? I've got a Sundown 10EV3 in mine right now, built a garbage looking box, and the seat can't go down. I need to rebuild the box and put fiberglass on the back where I have to cut out, or just go back to shallow mounts. I used the Du-Ha measurements and it seems like I can make it work, but I'm skeptical. Lol
OP: check out Fox Acoustics. They build some sick boxes, dual 12's, and at least for the 10's they talk about stuffing JL 10W3's in there so not a shallow mount.

I havn't had the opportunity to try the mkVs, but I have had 1 III then a IV, so I imagine 3 mkVs are gonna hurt, in a good way. You may wind up wanting to double the front baffle for extra strength. Those subs will tear an enclosure up.
