i know enough to be dangerous here but i still have some unanswered questions. ive done enough research to decide the route im taking, i have 2 exile 12" woofers with a monoblock 1100 watt amp, sounds nice but i want to go louder, and under my rear seat. at first i was going to build a custom box for the 12's but after discusing my predicament with the local audio guys ive decided to put in 4 10's and scrap the 12's to get the sound i want. im going to push them with my exile amp which should have plenty of power and run them all at 1 ohm. heres a little more detail, i have a 99 extended cab silverado, which is only 3 door, im planning on using 4 10" JL audio woofers, and my 1100 watt exile amp. my goal is to keep the box under the rear seat but since im very limited for space i will most likely bring the box out a few inches and run an angle so the woofers are pitched at a 45 towards the top of the front window. so my question is whats the minimum airspace for each woofer in each cell, and should i go ported or not ported, maybe a flex port? im very open to suggestions and ideas maybe even a little critisism, thx for any input.

Ok so I figured out the cubic airspace needed should be 1 cubic foot to 1.25 and I should be able to get about .9 atlest. So my next question is should I put ports in? Or will .9 be sufficient.

To properly port a box, it needs to be considerably larger than the minimum acceptable size.  If that is all the room you can use, you should not port the enclosure.

Thank you, so do you think .9 will be enough in each cell, or do you have any other suggestions.
