The air space that sub needs. Putting it in a box under the strut will not give it the proper air space it needs unless you make thing out of fiber glass. Or lose the spare and bury it.... Thats my plan for the 13w7 I wanna put in. 10w7 doesn't cut it for me anymore.

i don't think its much a problem of air space.. its that the 12" doesn't fit under the strut bar with a box.. the diameter is too large.. thats why most 12 under the strut boxes i have seen have the sub opening sticking outside of the strut bar opening..

It should fit between the seats and the bar at an angle or even rear facing like doug posted below, I havent tried, but know almost anything is possible with fiberglass. Once again go to the link I put up and see if they would do something for you and they are local.

if you wanted a single 12 .. you would have to have it built something like this



thats from http://www.tccustomz.com i'm sure if you talk to them they could build you a single 12 sticking out like that

i guess i am confused

what i am gathering is the poster wants a
1 each 12" w7
1 each under strut bar

if the sub needs 1.375 for 1 each 12" sealed

i next need to know how much space the single 12" under strut bar provides

so i can see the difference that needs to be made up

Really the best thing to do is go to a shop that does custom work and tell them what you want to do.... Anything is possible and if they tell you they can't, Then they are lying. Go somewhere else and get it done.

A W7 12" will require a custom box for the location you're requesting. Not only that but if you're putting a W7 in there it needs to be very well reinforced (especially if it's fiberglass). I have 1 12" Kicker which I like alot. Here's a horrible pic (sorry it's the only one's I have right now in my office) of my box that I built with 2 TV's one on each side of the sub.
