Okay, I know that every sub has a minimum air space requirement, but is there a "best practice" for just the minimum width? If I have a 10" sub, should I not go less than 11" or 12" width? I have plenty of vertical space in my trunk as well as space front-to-back but the width is a little tight. Thoughts?

It really doesn't matter for subwoofers. Make it fit. posted_image

Smaller mounting area and a deeper box will almost always give you better results than a larger area and shallow box.
