Default Sub box dimensions/write up/plans?

I'm looking to build a box for my car. I have a hard top so I don't need the space for the t-tops. Also, I'd like to build a box for just a single 10" and preferably ported. I'm tired of those ****** stealth boxes. They are a necessity with a t-top, but they sound like ****. I couldn't get a set up that I liked with them. I also tried a box that was ported and mounted on the shelf. That one sucked even worse because of the rear glass angle vs. the sup angle.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has built a system that a 10" and ported that sits ONLY in the lower section of the trunk. Like down in the part where the t-top holders go. Not one that comes all the way up level with the shelf.

1.2 cbft tuned to 33hz. Had a local guy make it for $100. This ported box blows that POS stealth box away.

Now I'm running a sealed box with two 10's powered by a 1500 watt Audiopipe amp.

Is that box designed for 1 or 2 subs? I'd like it to fit a little lower in the trunk too... Isn't there a website where you can type in the dimensions you want and it can design something for you?

It's for a single 10''. The new box I had made sits a little lower, but not flat on the trunk since the edges on our trunks are rounded.

What type of box are you looking for?

Something similar to that. I just want it to sit the same height as the lower portion of the trunk. Like to the top of where the t-top holders would be. I'd think it'd be better for the port to be pointed upwards instead of sideways.

The port/sub are facing the same way, so I can flip the box. I had the sub/port facing up, I think that sounded the best.
