Bronze Member Username: Sw9152Post Number: 32 Registered: Feb-06 | i would use a combo of the 2 6x9 and the 2 6.5 because the 6x9 will have better midbass making the music sound fuller and the 6.5 speakers will be a little better on the vocal parts. if you can only pick 2 i would go with the 6x9 speakers because they still have decent highs and way better midbass. as for the box, 2-3 inches should be good enough from back of the magnet to the wall of the box, air just has to go out the hole in the magnet to cool the voice coils. | |

Bronze Member Username: Sw9152Post Number: 34 Registered: Feb-06 | are you going to angle the front of the box to match the angle of the seat?

Bronze Member Username: Sw9152Post Number: 43 Registered: Feb-06 | i would try to keep at least 2 in of clearance, but if you are not over powering the sub or clipping the amp you might be able to get away with a little less. | |
Bronze Member Username: Sw9152Post Number: 44 Registered: Feb-06 | i made a box like the one i drew for my friend with a reg cab dodge 1500 and had 3-4 in clearance behind magnet with a 10 mtx 6000 series. or you could always play around with different box designs using cardboard. |
