[QUOTE="deez283, post: 8797209, member: 609934"] I don't know about the center console statement.. I have mine with subs down firing with 3-4" of space to the floor with port firing towards under the dash for loading and I like it much better than my buddies set up of two 8's under the rear seat firing towards the driver. His sub stage is a 2000 watt Skar amp and a pair of the beefiest 8's Skar makes in a 2.5 cubic foot enclosure, Thats sticks out from under the seat taking half the foot space for passengers, with his set up I'm hearing lots of mechanical noise from the subs and most songs like doo doo he is not happy.. My set up is a Zapco ST2000XM II powering a pair of Dayton HO 10's @ 2 ohms for 1500 RMS in a tiny 1.10 Cuft. box tuned to 33hz. Zero sub mechanical noise and zero port noise at full tilt and it plays a much wider range of music and just sounds good. At first I wasn't sure about my setup but after the subs broke in and I added more power im pretty happy. I've never seen a box so small put out so much sound. Now I'm not saying console boxes are king but I'm sure the design plays a role. I researched for months and months and for a console port forward (for loading) and subs down or back was the obvious choice.. A console with subs facing up is going to load different thus sound different.. With that said if the op doesn't have passengers or is willing to take out the rear seats then options are pretty unlimited. [/QUOTE]
