i would love to use a slot port design, but its a very strange looking box thats placed behind the center console in my quad cab truck. aero ports are the way to go for this box. theres a pic in my build log. for some strange reason i ordered a 3" port and i just got a 2" port delivered to my house... great... more time to wait since i get to send it back and pay shipping too!!

ok so i believe my sub box is about 1.08 cuft or very close to that. if i was to add this kit here... http://www.madisound...products_id=711 you think that would fit my application? in order to get 34hz with a single 3" inlet im going to need a "13.06364" long tube. if i got this kit i could cut it to length? what do you think? with a box of that amount of cuft do you guys think i should tune to a different setting aswell? let me know what you think!!

alrighty. so when it asks me to say the "volume of the box" instead of saying my box is 1.08 cuft i say .92cuft on this site due to sub displacement? ... http://www.psp-inc.com/tools.html thanks!!

that would be cool! i looked into a 4" with http://www.psp-inc.com/tools.html but it wouldnt fit. when i type in my volume for the box on the site do i account displacement of the sub? or just the overall box?

bumppp

the box is 1.02 cuft total after sub displacement. i have room for a 3inch port with the site telling me "13.06364" in order to get 34hz. is a 3 inch port to big for a 10 inch sub? so what size port would you guys recommend for an Fi bl 10??

thanks for the reply btw!!

weird try this link... http://www.madisound.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=711 my sub is a Fi Bl 10. im looking for deep bass with what i got. just curious if thats possible with such a small box?

ok. so i added the sub back in and the tuning is going alright. just the angle of the box has me concerned. let alone im curious how big the areo port needs to be? i have a small feeling its not the correct size and choking the sub. any help would be great!! whatever questions you need to ask would be great in order to help me out! thanks!!

looks great!!

yea the components sound great! i added a bit more silicone to the sub box so ill have everything in soon! still wanna mess with my tuning a bit before i put the backseat in. (cant get to the amp with it in) here some pics i promised heres my amp rack on the back wall of my truck turned out pretty well i think and ill have this all filled up soon with my seats and sub. cant wait to get this box dry!! thanks for looking!!

thanks mac n cheese!! well. i got my stinger volt meter hooked up and i somewhat got the sub tuned.... but realized theres leaking right around the terminal cup. SOOO i ripped some carpet up and added more silicone. gonna wait a couple days for it to dry to be extra safe. put A LOT. haha. here some pics of atleast the sub box. ill get some day time pics of the components and everything aswell!! im getting there!! WOO!! lol thanks for looking!!

ive been bad with pics, but i got just about everything installed yesterday! just going to add my stinger volt meter, finish tuning, add new terminals and a just tuck wire away. any advice on the volt meter and most of all TUNING?? haha. ill get a boat load of pics up tomorrow of how everything turned out!!

my box is built! ill get some photos up tomorrow for day time pics. it turned out great!! just not sure if the port size is correct.... for giggles i hooked my old amp to the sub for now. its def not tuned correct at all. it starts to clip i think at high volume so i try not to really play the sub at all. sounds great for what i have to it though. cant wait for the real amp to power it up!!

i have a sae 1200d v.2 sundown amp going to a fi bl 10. any help would be great! im looking into this amp power kit.... http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX-PK0 is this a good deal? or should i look into a different way of everything? i dont need the (dual amp kit do i??) THANKS!!

thanks! whats the best way to figure out how much wire you need? string?? like just map out where you will run the wire?

what wire should i look into? im not really sure how to ask all these questions so lemme know if i get confusing. im pretty sure im running 1/0 gauge wire from my battery to my amp. (my amp is a sundown sae 1200 v2) .....let alone what fuse to run?? now what size and kind of wire to run from my amp to my sub? (sub is a 10" fi bl) ALSO what RCAs to run??? there are SOOO many brands and so many options. (i have an alpine ida x001 headunit if that helps too) i also am not sure how much wire i need for anything yet. just curious what i should look into. i plan on measuring out how much i need tomorrow. i know there are a lot of questions and i prob said something confusing so lemme know!! your help would be VERY helpful! Thanks!!

oh sorry forgot to add that. its going in a 2001 Ford Supercrew

thanks for all the input guys! i started a build log... ill try to keep updating with everything going on! moderators you can close this thread. that would be great! thanks!!

im not sure how either one of these subs sound so im depending on you guys to tell me. im not sure weather to go with 2 SA 8" Sundown audio subs OR go with one SA 10" OR im thinking one Fi Bl 10"? not sure what amp yet with the 2 SA 8s or with the one SA 10, but with the Fi Bl 10 i would be going with a Sundown SAE-1200Dv2. which one of these would sound the deepest and loudest to factory recommendations? Thanks!!

Im looking into getting the 10" FI Bl sub fully loaded with a 1cuft (or maybe slightly bigger if i can) ported. Theres a site im sure a few of you guys have heard of that sells them refurbished. well anways. on this site they have the... SAE-1200Dv1 SAE-1200Dv2 SAZ-1500D ... these three are listed right now and im curious which one would fit me better. i dont want to run an extra battery if possible just due to the hassle. any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

haha. sorry. well YES i know it will fit. i dont know why i said "maybe." tomorrow ill take a picture of my backseat and start a build thread to give you guys a better idea of what im talking about.

just ordered my MB Quart PVI 216 components with adaptors from the 6x8 oem slot to 6.5 sundown sae 1200 amp should be here soon. what i decided to go with was put the sub behind my center console. my old idea with under the seat would have worked, but i thought maybe i can squeeze more room from my new idea. my options are pointing the sub up or towards the ground... i like the idea of them pointing down (of course with 3-4 inches of clearance) just because the sub is kinda hidden and protected from maybe my stupid friends. haha. or even theft. pointing up though ive heard gives u a totally different sound so im kinda worried about that. its a one shot deal so making my mind on the two is important. thanks!

Sorry i didnt have these up earlier. Hope the pics are not that big. Cant wait for my amp to finally get here.!
