* variable high-/low-pass filters (50-200 Hz at 12 dB per octave)
* preamp- and speaker-level inputs
* MOSFET power supply
* CEA-2006 compliant
* Tri-way capable (Tri-Way Crossover required)
* fuse rating: 25A x 1
* 10-gauge power and ground leads recommended — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
* 13-5/8"W x 2-5/16"H x 11-1/4"D

i just cut my driver seat down to a bucket, and tied the extra upholstery under the seat, I'm assuming yours is setup similar to mine, but it was a thin piece of plastic or real thin metal and i used a reciprocal saw.

It wasn't too bad. the hard part was making the box.

i think a counsel would be the way to go for you.

the box took time, but just a lot of test fitting, in the end though it was worth it.

Just measure everything twice and make a template from cardboard etc... it helped a lot.

The same chamber, if you decide to go this route, i'd look into different subs though.

My box is about 1.7 cubes and there was a little room to make it bigger.
