sweet Thanks for the quick and detailed response. As I said I have just read up on it so any words were copied into my ignorant limited vocabulary lol. From what I understand about it the Isoplanar term was as a specialized isobaric enclosure where both subs are on the same plane/baffle.

Like I said I will probably try a few options. Much of the trouble is I really have a limited space to put them. Center console in my truck and I really don't want it to take up the Entire dash to rear seat sorta deal. the more minimal the enclosure the better. First I will probably build a 2 ft^3 sealed downfiring enclosure and see how it works/sounds and such. Then try it with a single mag downfiring and sealed (to limit enclosure size and make the enclosure nearly invisible. Then see about trying out this Isobaric enclosure.

I also agree about the extra output hence why I ordered 2 mags instead of just 1 and got a 1500D waiting to power em up

The build I saw for this was done by Team Audionutz and was in an crew cab Ram replacing the lower seat of the center console. For it he used 2 JBL WGTi 10's that required 1ft^3 sealed and placed the rear sub in a 0.6ft^3 box.

Plus like I said I wanna learn and try new things. Ported isn't an option and sealed just seems simple and plain. Gotta try out some deflex pads/egg crate and what not inside though to see those effects too. Still learning new things.

Here is what I have to work with.


Gutted console. I will be able to seperate the top from the bottom and raise the top 2-3" if necessary. only problem is this brings up mounting issues of securing the entire part to the truck inself.


When I made some quick generalized measurements I had about 2.15ft^3 to work with for the overall volume that the enclosure took up. I could expland it slightly but the smaller the better I am thinking. Then again talk to me in 6 months from now and I will probably be hacking up the entire truck for an all out build lol.


As I said I'm very new to doing more than just slapping together a box lol so any help is greatly appreciated. I am trying to come up with some rough autocad designs to get a better idea of the dimensions I am working with and how it will all look.
