The floor under the rear seat of a truck or SUV, and many narrow cargo floors, is \u003cstrong\u003elong and shallow\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a standard 30 by 15 inch enclosure will not go in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo the cabinet is turned sideways.

Against our standard 30 by 15 inch dual NB3 cabinet it takes the same pair of NB3-10D4 drivers, sits 3 inches shallower front to back and runs 11 inches longer.

The motor is a 70 ounce ferrite magnet with a 2.5 inch high-temp four-layer copper voice coil on a black aluminum former, rated to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and an FEA designed center pole vent pulls heat out of the coil gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spider is a cotton and Nomex blend with stitched flat tinsel leads, which is the detail that stops the ticking unstitched leads develop at high excursion over time. Treated paper cone, rubber surround, stamped steel frame. Moving mass is 151.63 grams against a BL of 23.365, so Prodigy built this to control the cone rather than only to fit under a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the pair that is 1200 watts RMS combined. The 3.00 inch mounting depth is the whole reason the NB3 exists. Prodigy built it for under and behind truck seats, which is exactly where a 12 inch deep cabinet goes. The frame is round and sits on the 12 inch deep baffle with material to spare fore and aft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNet Volume and Alignment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chamber holds \u003cstrong\u003e0.323 cubic feet net\u003c\/strong\u003e, 0.646 total, from 0.863 cubic feet gross after 0.10 cubic feet of driver displacement, published by Prodigy per driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComputed from the driver's published Thiele-Small parameters, that produces \u003cstrong\u003eQtc 0.653 with Fc at 58.5 Hz and a predicted F3 of 63.6 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e per driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight is the free dimension. With the footprint fixed at 41 by 12, the cabinet height was solved to put each chamber on the same airspace as the standard 30 by 15 box, then rounded up to the next sixteenth so the volume lands on the target rather than under it. The motor clears the top panel with 2.19 inches to spare, so airspace set this height, not clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is a deliberately small chamber for this driver. The NB3-10D4 has a Qts of 0.407 and a small 14.43 litre Vas, and drivers with those numbers run overdamped in generous enclosures. The smaller chamber moves each driver toward the 0.707 reference rather than away from it, and it is why this dual can stand only 5.9375 inches tall. Prodigy publishes a larger sealed range; it reads like a prefab truck box target where cabin gain carries the bottom end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stiff air spring raises Fc to 58.5 Hz and mechanically limits excursion at the very bottom. That protects the driver, and it means the deepest material leans on cabin gain rather than cone travel, which is the right trade in a truck cab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"df-highlight\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrue net, not marketing net.\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal volume is calculated from the machined cavity dimensions and the driver displacement, not estimated from external dimensions minus wall thickness.

Each driver is dual 4 ohm, so final impedance is set at the drivers. Wire both identically, since mismatched wiring between chambers will split power unevenly, and confirm the resulting load against your amplifier's minimum stable impedance before powering the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring your own pair of Prodigy NB3-10D4 subwoofers.
