Lets see em guys. I wanna know how you guys cram bass into these small areas. Post pics of your single cab setups: amps, speakers, whatever...

Well my 880 finally came in and I have to say I love it. The display is definitely fancy enough for my taste and the sound quality greatly exceeds that of my 6800MP. Im not running active yet and Im impressed at the way it sounds. I cant wait to run active on this lil beauty. Just gotta wait until I can get home. Football season started and we have home games for the next 3 weekends. One day it'll be done. Thanks to everyone for all the input on the poll.

Im just looking for a little info on what you guys think the best headunit out of the above choices would be. They are all capable of running active frontstage which is what im looking for. And im pretty sure I can get them at or around the same price. Any of you guys with experience with any of the choices, please post any likes/dislikes. Thanks.

The box is a 1.25 cu ft ported to 30Hz with some 2.5" PVC. Just playing around with box sizes and sealed vs. ported. These lil things really get to moving. Sorry the sound quality of the video isnt very good, I was using my lil sis' cheap digital camera. vid

I am buying 2 RL-i 8's in the next few days and I'm trying to come up with designs for the new box. I have a 2004 silverado regular cab, with a center console that houses a Fi/SX hybrid right now. Im thinking of the same concept but build the box downfiring and ported. The console would be much bigger than the actual speaker box, I would just have the box built into the bottom part of the console and maybe glass the top following the contour of the seats. The box size would be 25*14.5*10 with a regular L-port. The total cubic foot after port and speaker displacement should be roughly 1.2 ft^3 tuned to 35 Hz. Is that too big for these subs? Any ideas for a box design would be appreciated. Im either going to do the console idea or build a box behind the seats and make a console that houses my amps.

I'm sure it is. I just wanna keep it simple, and a 165 band equalizer doesnt sound too simple to me.

Any idea when the dual 4 ohm 8's will be available for sale again??

Nah thas ok.

Yea im starting to think it would be the best choice. I liked that the eclipses have nav features, but Im supposed to be getting an eclipse avn6610 from my brother in law for like 200 bucks, so i guess i wouldnt need the nav. I figure I can run both, just use an aux input from the nav to the 880. Or maybe run my rear speakers off the nav so I can still get the directions and sound from movies.

what did you tune the box to? Im buying 2 RL-i 8's and im debating on size and frequency of my box.

Hey just to let you know, my friend is selling both his BTL 18's. Look in the classifieds section and you could probably save a lil money. His userid is johnnylemoine.

Cool thanks. You were one of the people who I was hoping would post. I saw your vehicle description and that you have a 12" SI Mag so i was kinda wondering how you went about it.

Ok, let me start by saying I don't know chit about active, passive, crossovers, etc. I'm looking to get a new highs setup. I have a set of cadence components which I guess would be passive. I have a singlecab silverado so I was kinda thinking about losing the rear speakers completely and running just the front. Im guessing active would be the best way to go. What do I need to do this? I plan on getting 2 mli-65's to start and a good four-channel amp. The HU i have now is a pioneer premier DEH6800MP. From what i've read, I dont think this HU is that great when it comes to the audio settings. I'm debating on replacing the pioneer with an eclipse cd5000 but what do you guys think? The tweeters would be set up off axis unless i fiberglass a set of sails but i think they will most likely be off axis. NEED HELP. THANKS!

so the cd5000 is a good choice. AWESOME

Anyone?????

Well its run off the HU now, i'm still lokking into amplifiers. A couple of my friends have Autotek SS100.4's and they really like them. Are those worth buying or should i save up for something better like a SAX100.4. Is the eclipse HU better when it comes to crossovers? If not, suggestions on HU would be appreciated as well.

I think we figured 1.25 ft^3 internal after port and speaker displacement. The port area is close to 20 in^2 if im not mistaken. It will be tuned to 35 Hz. Do all these parameters sound good? The only one im not sure about is the internal dimensions. Optimal car is 0.3 net per sub and im doing 0.625 per sub. Im just wondering if the bigger box will hurt their performance. Anyone with any experience with 2 of these in a box ported?

How did I know this had to be Canaan's post.

Im really considering these subs. I have a 12" Fi/SX hybrid right now and am looking to get 2 10's instead. Im contemplating 2 soundsplinter rli-10's, 2 Fi SSD 10's, or 2 Lv3 10's from DC. What would be the recommended box size ported for 2 of these 10's? I'll be powering it with an ED nine.1 Also what would be the total price for 2 Lv3 10's shipped to 70051?

What do you guys think? One Fi/SX 12 hybrid or 2 SSD 12's. The amp is a elemental designs nine.1. Box size would be about 3 cubic feet.

Scott, Nick, or Shawn, can any of you tell me if my sub has been shipped back yet? I got the ups email and it said scheduled delivery 6/6/07, but there were no tracking results. Any help would be great. Thanks.

YEA!!! I didnt mean nothing by the captan obvious, i was jus joking around.

well johnny proly wasnt drinkin but i definitely have been and yes i do kind of talk to myself on the forums. when i figure chit out by myself i post it on the forum, i really dont know why. O well i'm still buyin the subs next week if I have enough money left over from buying my rims. Those come first because I have been waiting to buy rims since I got my truck. Idk I'm pretty drunk right now, I guess i'll talk to you later, theabunai, about the subs. PEACE

what the hell are you talkin about?
