This is kinda what I have in mind. This is an Xtreme enclosure for a Ford Crew cab.

I just bought a brand new Ram 1500 crew cab and I'm looking for ideas as far as the sub is concerned. Has anyone here done an install in a crew cab? I really don't want to go the shallow sub route. I would really like to find a way to keep my Icon 10. I realize that ported is out of the question so sealed will do. I was thinking about building a box to fit on the floor hump between the back seats. then I have to figure out how to mount 2 big a/b amps under the rear seat. Any thoughts?

I happen to have both. I was a carpenter for a very long time. however under the seat is where I'm planning on putting my 2 amps.

If it sounds good to you that's what is important. Use that as a starting point and try making improvements if you feel the need. Enjoy your hu.

The auto eq is basically a waste of time. If you really want to try it you might just have to bump up the volume a tad.

You do realize that you draw the kind of comments that he made by your attitude. M5 is most certainly not my buddy and I was in fact a carpenter for 20 yrs. To be quite honest if you're using multiple layers and using epoxy to adhere them together I don't see it being an issue. So in the future when you post why not start off with a statement along the lines of......This is my thread! If you want to praise me for all the money I spent that's fine but if you want to question my installation choices or techniques don't bother I already know it all and I couldn't possibly learn anything from anyone!

So M5 makes a 2 word observation as opposed to praise and you jump all over him. When posting in any open forum you have to prepared to handle praise as well as criticism. Oooooh flexy IMO hardly warrants a reaction like yours. And BTW.....a stud is in a wall. I think you meant joist? You sound more credible when you use the right words. Another thought.....OSHA is an Ageny that ensures safe working conditions. Are workers in a safe environment? Are they being provided proper PPE? They have nothing to do with what plywood can be used in the construction of a house. That is code enforcement. You don't call Osha to have a framing inspection done on a new house.

I would do it. Headroom is a good thing. curious how low you're crossing over your mids.

IMO the 80 prs shouldn't be capable of running passive nor should it have the internal amp. They should have applied that cost towards a better faceplate. Aside from that it's a fantastic hu. I would most certainly return the ID comp set and get a cheap set of diy drivers to start out with. take the leftover money and deaden the hell out of your doors. that's an investment that you will never regret with whatever drivers you have in the future. Silver Flute mids are pretty dam good for the price. tweets are really going to depend on where you plan to mount them. If you can mount them within 30 degrees or so vifa ring radiators are almost impossible to beat at the price. If you have to mount them off axis they fall on their face. Then you have some choices of dome tweets that all have a good following. Dayton, LPG, Vifa and Seas are some that come to mind.

Take your time and do a whole lot of reading before you run that hu in network mode. make sure you really understand what you're doing. You have the potential for really great sound but you also have the potential for horrible sound and blown drivers.

I couldn't agree more with the previous post.

Did he ad a subsonic filter?

Because brand matching always gets you an extra thumbs up!

I mean no disrespect but it sounds like there might a hearing loss issue.

See if this guy will ship. http://norfolk.craigslist.org/ele/4191560861.html

You can find a lot of active hu's on CL really cheap. Most people that have them don't realize what they can do. I always see the older alpines for sale.

The first question should be how much room do you have followed by what does your front stage consist of to keep up with the amount of bass you are planning. Unless bass is all you want to hear.

I don't see any mention of bandpass and I can't find the manual on the site. Looks like junk to me anyway. It is only a rumor as nobody has been brave enough to get one. Under features it mentions "sound staging" which usually includes TA off the bat and if you're lucky other things. The closest is the Clarion NX702. Yes it has bandpass. Still not a pioneer as much as we'd all like it to be, and i've already agreed and mentioned getting this unit myself. Sorry guess I missed that. As you can see in my sig I have the pioneer and I bought my son the CZ702 so I can honestly give my real opinion of both. A mix of both would be ideal. The Pioneer independent left and right eq is better but I really prefer a parametric. using the crossover points properly eliminates or has the potential to eliminate the need for using an eq in most cases. It's usually in the passband between drivers. A gap in the crossover points and proper slope works wonders. I don't care for being limited to the pre-selected crossover points on the pioneer. I hardly use any at all but when I do it would be nice to put the center point exactly where my issue is. The range of the Clarion allows for better use of a widebander if that's your taste but the very limited slopes on the clarion crossover is weak. people have different opinions on this but it will make it more difficult to achieve proper phase. I have listened to both quite a bit and I can say there is a noticeable difference in the overall sound leaning towards the Pioneer but with the pricepoint of both they are both insanely cheap for what they do.

On Ebay and not the SSA store? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZED-AUDIO-MIKRO-IV-440W-RMS-4-CHANNEL-ADVANCED-CLASS-D-MINI-SMALL-AMPLIFIER-NEW-/400596438529?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item5d45688e01&vxp=mtr

TC Epic, they're d2 though.

Pretty rare and stupid pucking expensive. If you can even find one for sale they are several grand each.http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPER-AUTO-AMP-SONY-XM-2000R-/251327306400?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item3a84465aa0&vxp=mtrWonder if that is the same guy from DIYMA that had several he was trying to sell. FWIW that's actually a really good price for them. Usually they are $1500 to $2kDam right it's a good price. Almost too good to be true but if I would buy one I would never use it. Put it in a glass case with a light shining on it.
