    I dont have dimensions, but i do have a valid point. The dimensions of just any box, arent going to match the reccomended dimensions for your sub. The ports will not be tuned to your sub either...

    You simply don't have enough room back there for a ported box that will sound any good. Go sealed, just make it as big as you can and see how it goes, then you can tune the sound by adding blocks of wood, gluing them in the floor of the box.

    I've been in car audio for many years, blocks of wood cut to 0.5L sizes are a tried and true method of enclosure tuning.

    OP: Send me the make and model of your sub and I'll shoot you an enclosure size with perfect "Q" factor (linear, smooth response).
