Space Between Back Of Box And Subwoofer

[Schimmel03]

I'm in the process of building my custom enclosure in my spare tire well and I am at a stand still. Reason being, if I want to flush mont my sub with the trunk floor I'll only have 1/8th inch between the back of the box and the bottom of the sub. How much space is there supposed to be here? Is there a minimum? Any help you guys could give me would be great! Thanks!!

Your speaker doesn't care where the air volume comes from. The key is to determine what volume is needed and be able to incorporate it into the area. Sometimes it may be easier to change the type of box you were going to use.

there is a minum space depending on how your sub is vented aka vc

Some subs do requre a certin amount of Pole piece venting, my recomdation would be to rase it a lil bit to gain closer to half an inch of room in that area.

Yeah, I completely changed my design. I will be holding this off for a few weeks until it gets warm enough to work with the garage door open. Thanks for all the input. It really did help!
