Question Single Cab Sub Box

Has anyone built a custom sub box for there single cab ram?!?

I have been searching like crazy and cant find any pic or threads that show a sub box in a single cab . I would really like to put 2 12's ( 1 or 2 15's would be nice but thinking overkill ) back there in a ported box. i need some help with the design though!!

any input, links would help.
Thanks

I made my own, size is kinda dependant on where your seat sits. Its tight back there, I put my seat where its comfortable to drive, then measured the distance from the seat to the back wall at the bottom of the seat, and 15" or so up the seat. I then made an angled box that leaves an inch or so away from the seat.

Nice man. I have all the measurements done and just trying to figure out the best set up. im trying to design a box for 2 12" ( wish 2 15" ) with room for the center console to be functional. i found one at hifi audio but its not ported! trying to figure out measurements with the port. I suck at math so ya...

I could just buy a box, or pay someone to custom make me one. That takes all the fun out of it!

If i build one then i will post some pics of the build.

Think about the quality of speaker. A smaller JL audio may produce the sound you're looking to get out of a 15"....thus you wouldn't have to build as large of a box. Quality, not quantity in this case will prevail.

Honestly, I think you'd be better off without the port, especially if you're stuck on using a larger driver.
Porting adds some output but generally reduces accuracy. How much output do you really need in a regular cab truck? Even a quality 10" sub in a good box with proper amplification will add everything you can stand inside a RC.
