    Extended cab trucks - TOO much cone area?

    so by "lower" you mean height wise? that's an interesting thought, I kinda wanted my port and driver pointing out the side towards the passenger side, but i dont want to have it blasting right in the people in the back seats' face. I don't know if there would be room to do port and driver down firing, what if i did driver up/port down? for some reason i don't picture that working mechanically at all.

    Extended cab trucks - TOO much cone area?

    haha thanks, I was getting a little worried myself that people didn't know how to read. btw, got any pictures or videos of your setup? I'm having crazy withdrawals from my old jeep and i was really close to putting a 15" btl in there but i had to turn around and sell it? my only dilemma is with this is that I'm unsure if i can remove just the seat behind the drivers seat, or if its mounted all as one bench even though its split 70/30. I was just planning on folding the seat down, and have the sub mounted on top of the seat. Do you think it would be worth having it down fire off of the seat? it would be on somewhat hard plastic (with the seat folded down/open) and i just picture that absorbing all the sound and not allow the waves to bounce off of it very well

    Extended cab trucks - TOO much cone area?

    ahh, yes. That is exactly how i feel about it. I have heard 2 different trucks with a system, but only one from the inside and it was a while ago. I couldn't pin point what i didn't like about it, but I believe this sums it up. I'll definitally be upgrading the speakers, so hopefully that will fulfill my satisfaction. I think I'm just going to go with a single 12" as i'm sure that will fill in plenty of the lows at half power with the ability to crank it if i wanted too. Now the question is, which way to face the sub and/or port. I heard down firing in trucks is pretty succesful, but I don't have to do that if I choose not too, i have plenty of space in each direction. Time to do some research! Anyone have personal experience having the same setup in multiple different ways to compare?
  4. I just recently picked up a 98 F150 extended cab PU, and I have always been curious as too if there is an ideal amount of cone area vs cab space available? I am only planning on putting what ever i can fit in the place behind the drivers seat, so i have room for 2 people to still sit in the back. But i wasn't sure (if i could get it to fit) if 2 10's/12's in a daily ported box? At this point, it is just an idea but i am thinking about an Xcons. I'm looking for more SQ with some output when i really want to turn it up. anyone have experience in a small cab space? I picture that much cone area in such a small cab space to be sloppy sounding. My last rig was a single 12" Q ported in a 01 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it sounded buttery smooth. I know sub, box, tuning is all dependent on how it sounds, but as a general idea I imagine a very sloppy, over whelming bleh sound.

    DROP IN TEST DD vs. Fi

    what does the term "clamped" mean? i picture it meaning where they are both measured and held at a constant amount of power? i.e. 3k watts steady?

    any results yet?
  10. they had it locked on to show just the highest db hit, so idk what i made on tones. my sweet spot is somewhere between 40-45hz but i hit 135.7 with my single 12" FI Q w/ BP Option, powered by SAE 1000D my first box, tuned to 31hz playing the opening of Tortilla Chips by T.Bizzy. mic on driver side dash, passenger door half down. in a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. sub and port facing back hatch nothing fancy in here. i know when i bought it i was curious of some numbers, i know it's not made for SPL but i was somewhat impressed with what it did.
  11. long story short. stupid on my part. but i am in the process of getting a thing built so i can hold my box and amp down, without having to screw into the seat or false floor. so for the time being it is freely hanging out in the back of my jeep. the sub slides around alot, the amp barely moves. well saturday night i was driving around with frineds, and went to a part of town i rarely go too, and witht he fresh snow on the ground i didn't see a speed bump (no signs...) well i hit it and i looked int he reiw view mirror, i saw my sub slide, but not really go in the air. i heard my tool box fly up, and i'm assuming my amp did too, as they were by eachother. after it landed, no more sub i turned the car off and turned it back on to see if it will get off protection mode. it did, and then it would randomly cut out in a song, whether the sub is hitting or not.. i thought it was just too much power so i turned the volume down and listened to it at low volumes, then i realised that it seemed to only cut out when i turn. and i don't mean slight turns. but like if i was to turn into a driveway, it would go into prot mode. or a slight bump would cause it. even if i have no music playing, it would do that. do i need to send it in? or can i do something myself. fusees are fine, i haven't opened up yet, frankly i'm a little scared haha, but i wanted to get some idea's before i check it out myself... idea's? questions? i'd put my detailed info up but i'm in a rush now. quick details are: 2001 Jeep Grand cherokee Limited V8 134 stock amp SAE 1000D 1 12" Fi Q @ 1 ohm 2.1 cuft ported box @ 31hz stock battery big 2 of 3 done. (amp to bat +, bat - to chassis.

    sub cut out placement

    shizzzon mentioned not to put it so close to the port hole because it might cause phasing issues, so that is why i mentioned between A and B but closer to A. here are my specs my baffle is 23.25 inches wide, minus the radius of my ID cut, 5.85 gives me about 17.4 inches to work with. for specifics, somebody want to give me a rough length to put the sub from either side of my enclosure. also, how much room is there to play with when cutting the hole for the sub? i plan on using a jigsaw this time, and i wanted to know how precise i had to be, should i cut a little on the inside to be safe? or is it just a matter or making a nice clean circle or not?

    sub cut out placement

    this is the kind of response i was looking for, thanks for all your input guys! shizzzon, i posted a topic a week or so ago hoping you'd jump in it, but i was asking for a box deisgn, something similar to the one you put in.. when i get home i'll put a picture up of the RE calculator i used to design my box with dims. so basically you guys think i should go somewhere between A and B but closer to A? thanks fo rthe input. hey shizzzon, if i sent you a PM later, would you be able to help me design a nice box for most likely the BTL or Xcon i get in the near future?

    sub cut out placement

    paint ftw so by interior opening your talking about the opening above B correct? anyways this is roughly what my box is, minus 3 subs. but where would be the best place to make the cut out?! a distance from either end would be nice if it had to be that specific. thanks guys
