SLYTLYSCRAMBLED

Got more pics.... Lil more adjustments also... Went to 32 hrtz Besides a 5 gallon bucket... Screw holes filled with putty... Looks like it has the chicken pox!! LOL Now debating on carpet or vinyl, probably carpet... :bigclap: Oh also waiting to get another amp...

I have a 2000 Toyota 4runner.. Throwing in 4 old skool 15" ROCKFORD FOSGATE HX2. Sorry, I had to put the name in caps for respect!! Anywho, I got some measurements here... I want the box 40" (width from wheel well to wheel well) x 36" (length from back seat to back door) x 20" (from bottom to top). So measurements are 40"x36"x20", outside measurements (roughly 16 cubic ft) . Here are my questions... Has anybody had 4 15" subs facing down towards the floor and had rectangle port facing up? My reason is, if you look real close at my pic, you can see 2 6x9 Kenwwods bolted on top of box. Also, I usually haul wood and crap for my work and would really hate to get a sub busted because of something dropping on it... I will raise the box 4 to 6 inches off the floor for the subs of course... OH!! Also, does anyone know what the measurements would be for the port if I want it tuned at 35 htz? Ummmm, trying to think if I need to put anything else here... 4 15" hx2, going to be pushed by 2 RF t10001bd amps, probably doubled layered where subs are bolted on, definatly have to 45 the inside corners, and will be glued, screwed, then sealed. If its not possible for subs to be facing down, I guess I can face subs upwards and port in between subs...

I have a quick question to this topic... Is it better to have the first layer flushed inside the box and the 2nd layer on top??? If you would do that, you could glue and screw first layer from the sides and then glue and screw 2nd layer from the top... Does that make any sense?? Just wondering how to put baffle on my box...

1st time bracing... Is this good???..... I put 1/4 round on bottom and glued like a madman to have a better seal... Making sure there is no leaks... Also, should I put something to brace the bottom... Like this??? And another one across from that bracing?? The more replies the merrier... I don't mind If ya say it looks weird or crazy... Like I said... This is my first braced box!!

What specs do you have for the box? Internal dimensions? I know you said you had 40x36x20 initially, what size do you have now? W/ or w/o the double baffle? I'd have to agree with you, you really don't have the accommodations to do anything other than subs up. Two 15's forward or back would be fine, but I wouldn't recommend two firing forward AND two back - you'd end up with some funky cancellations. I.D. is 38.5 x 32.5 x 22 .. Had 38.5 x 34.5 x 22 but when I measured from middle of seat to back hatch, I lost a couple of inches!! Measure twice(or 5 times LOL) cut (or build LMAO) once...

Not enuff room... total 35" from back seat to hatch need at leats 34" You need at least 6" from port to hatch...

Double on top... subs and port facing upward. Well I meant the plane the subs will be on. Why did you decide on subs up and ports up? Only way to fit them in there without losing back seats or building a wall...

Double on top... subs and port facing upward.

Chea, I will be bracing it then, but first will add more glue in corners for better seal... Also, it will be baffled on top definatly... I have 2 top pieces cut but no port or holes in it yet... Thanks a lot peeps!! All info and opinions are more than welcomed!!

Oh.... So fiberglass inside will not help with the flex?? I will do 45s and brace it with with the 2x2 then... Thanx. I'm glad I got this before I went and glassed it!!!

I use screws..... But I'm an idiot!!! I have flaws!!! Furthermore, it's your build and like you said,if it doesn't work, try it again!! LMAO!!! Sorry, just wanted to throw my .02 in!!

Evens here.... Kenwood KDC-MP435U USB Interface. Usually on 12-14 unless I want to blare it, then it goes to 20-24 and sub gain on h.u. to +5.

Resin is used to smooth out the interior of the box for air flow but fibreglass inside a box doesn't work as bracing. With a box that big, you would be better off chucking in some bracing. Bracing... Would that be 45ing the corners or is that throwing the all thread from 1 side to the other or both?? Boy!! Did I get the wrong info from the fiberglass guy!!! :puzzled::puzzled:

Chea, but I can't do the fiberglass myself... . I live in an apt complex and the smell would overwhelm everybody (not in a good way)... I will post more pics when I get more done...

Thanks Adrian!!

Pieces cut Had to make sure I cut them right LOL!! Had to recheck and move a couple sides around for perfect fit... Glued and screwed...(Got a lil happy with the glue there!! ) The fiberglass thats ganna be resined inside box instead of double layer or bracing. (hope it works)

GOT SOME PICS!!! Not all that, actually looks like a big box LOL!! Ummmm, how do you post pics on here???

THANK YOU!!! That really helped out a lot... I greatly appreciate this!! People in SSA are FREAKIN AWESOME!!!

Also wanted to say THANKS FOR THE INFO!!! I really appreciate it...

I like that set up ADK... Didn't think of that... Thanks... Hey BIG, the hx2 will work at 2.5 cubes each and displacement is .25 each... I wanted at least 12 cubes total, but will settle for 10. (not too picky if it still can hit the lows pretty good) I mostly listen to rnb hip hop and bass tracks. I would love to have a hair trick box and everyone is telling me that 35 is a good average frequency. Can I do 35htz in the 10 cu ft box? If not, then I will just have to build some sort of cover (shouldn't be too hard).

Thanks. I would love to fiberglass the 6x9 somewhere else, but I never did fiberglass work and have no place to work with it since I live in an apt. complex. How about the port measurements? How do I figure that out?

Do I have this topic in the wrong place???

Thanks for all the welcomes!!! I live Clear Lake area... Going towards Kehma and Galveston (45 south). I will start a topic wherever you are suppose to on these here forums about size, dimensions, and ports!! Once thanks for all the welcomes!!!

Hey, SSA!! I'm hoping to dig into some forums and heads here to find out different ways to install my subs into my 4runner... This is going to take a loooooooooooong time because of my work and workspace... Any info will be appreciated.

Heard About this place from a guy who has a toyota and installed 4 15" subs in his 4runner... He said there is a lot of good info here... Im ganna need it!! LOL
