Hi All,

I come to you all humbly seeking help. Quick background, I'm 34 and If I could go back to being 18, I could probably answer a lot of these questions myself. It's weird to not even remember what half this stuff is. Anyway, I'm trying to piece things together the best I can and doing TONS of research but I need to get a few answer first. I attached a pic of sort of what I'm going for I guess in a very broad sense.

Here are a few notes based on the Forum Rules / Post

STEP 1 (Research)

So, I'm using the subs I put in there over 10 Years ago. They are two 10" Oz Audio Matrix Elites. I cannot find box specs anywhere for these, but I did attach a sales flyer I found. I cannot remember anything about 2 Ohm vs 4 Ohm thing. I will certainly continue to research this.

STEP 2 (The List)

Vehicle : 2000 Toyota Tacoma

Location in the vehicle: Extended Cab so right on top of the mini-seats in the back. (pulling out the cushions though)

Space available (Length x Width x Height): This is part of my question but a I want to keep it around 44" Wide 12" Deep and 18" Tall. Past that it will cause obstructions or overhang the seat ledge.

Subwoofer make and model: OZ AUDIO Matrix Elite

Subwoofer Size: 10"

Number of Subwoofers: Two

Type of Port (Kerfed, Slot, Aero, etc.):Not Sure, just a wide slot in the center hopefully. Not slotted unless recommended.

What type of music do you like?: All - Bassy Hip-Hop and EDM to quick double-bass metal and everything in between (no country of course)

Is your goal SPL or Everyday Music?: Everyday music but I want to maximize loudness. I love to bump. No competitions.

Tuning Freq (Hz): I have no idea

Volume : I have no idea

Questions: see below

1. I am a very symmetrical person. Does it make sense to put the port right in the middle? I had a box in high school with a center port and I loved it. I like how it shoots the air right in between the seats.

2. How do I determine the Volume and Tuning Freq?

3. I cannot find a calculator that really allows me to set it up for two subs with a centered port. I used RE Calculator to produce the attachement "Rough Dimensions"

4. I don't have a lot of room for height (18") or Depth (12"). But I do have width (44") Is this two wide? I could go higher with modifications. Again, just going for sound.

Additional Notes

AMP: Hifonics TX100D 1000 Watt D-Class Mono

STEP 3 (Make a good thread title)

I tried. missing details. Don't kill me.

STEP 4 (Do more research)

I certainly will and I am at your mercy for my preliminary questions.

Thank you to everyone who reads and/or responds!

Note: three pics attached.

You could try to make the port longer, but there might be other reasons with the box won't extend lower, or even the sub. You'd have to reverse...
