Help with rear speaker/sub box

[Dan Berry]

Hi,
I'm building a box for two 10" subs with a recess for a kicker amp in a
wedge shape to fit behind the rear seat in a truck. If I build the wedge
4'8" wide, it keeps enough room on either side of the box for the stock rear
speakers. I was thinking about blocking the stock speakers (just leave them
behind the box) and building the box the full length and mounting another
pair of smaller speakers in the box (separated from the sub in it's own
compartment). This will give me nearly another half cubic foot of volume
for each sub or let me move the seat back another inch.

If I made a small compartment for a 6 1/2 inch speaker (Infinity KAPPA
63.5I ), is there an optimum volume?

What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Dan

some will say yes...I think the Kappas are designed for and IB application
(as most consumer midbass are), so give them the biggest box you can. take
an educated guess at what the volume of a large door is, and use that...they
work good in doors IB don't they? :)
