will be great mate
look on the rockford fosgate site on how to wire the subs up too
also want you to turn one sub off and see what the difference is, because it wont be much

ok here are some cardboard ideas so far!
the last one can either be like it is with wood filling the gaps
OR
will add 7cm around the base of the subs to lvl it all out! hmmmmm

last one will be the best as the subs are angled more from each other
2nd one would be at the boot and tbh you will probablies get the car to ratle to bits unless you sound deaden and stuff the boot lid with foam/insulation
1st one there pointing at each other more than the last and will be fighting each other

right
if i box them two sub boxs facing each other will have 51.67 litre per box
if wedges will have 41.29
so think im going to go for two boxs will it make much diff if they are facing each other and not angled if in a wedge?

Well you dont really want them pumping straight into one another as they will be working against each other, but if you have at least a foot or so gap then i think you will be okay with it.
But yu definitely want the 50cuft box

well if i do boxs facing each other there is about 30cm! between the two boxs
but then if they are like that cant really show them off when i open the boot!
so thats when wedges might be the idea but then wont be a right size!
so iffy on sizes
got a height of 41cm in total, 10cm on the bottom for the false floor
which leaves me 31cm from the floor to the shelf so its very close to fit the sub really thinking about it!

right here area few updates so far with the MDF
amp at the bottom with 4 supports
false floor will be on top - will cut space each side for the subs to sit at the same level as the amp but will look same lvl as the floor! lol
this is where the two subs will sit but with the holes in the floor
and this is where i am now!

And you dont know wether to have the subs facing each other in square boxes, or in wedges with them facing outwards? Correct?

think ive sorted it now
on the small parts on the sub boxs will have a angled bit of wood where ill put the subs them selfs they will be facing each other but angled up so not directly pushing against each other

Ive calculated the port for your box mate.
For a box that is 50cuft, tuned to 40hz, with a 4" diameter port it needs to be 2.5" long.

Who'd have thought i was a CAD draftsman eh!?! Lol
Ahh! Hang on! Missed off a digit! Will recalculate now!
You need it to be 10" long! This will tune to 34hz, which i believe is the best for one of these subs!
