Do you have specs for the sub? If you do download winISD and model it. Figure the car will have some cabin gain so you can get away with less low bass than in a house. WinISD is free and pretty easy to use, there are posts all over the net on how to use it. Mostly it will get mad if you input certain values it calculates such as qts. Only put in qts if you do not have other q values. Then you can make the box size anything you want and see the response curve, just click and drag on the box to change it or enter a size.

What kind of sub? What amp will you will be using? What type of music you listen to is also important.
