whats up guys? Havent been on here in a while... Im running a Kicker kx2500.1 on a 18" Btl. The sub is a few years old, triple stack magnet, cooling, pchamfer etc..dual 2 ohm. It is in the back of my 2001 tahoe right now. I have a box, but it looks like crap and I need a new one. What would you feel would be a decent size and tuning? I listen to mostly rap, love when it hits super low and moves some air. I think my box is tuned around 34 hz right now. Could I go lower for daily? Would i be ok doin sub and port facing back? heres the box I have it in now, the port comes out on the top left. It was built for my last truck, so the port location isnt ideal.. let me know what you guys think. I want to keep it fairly simple, sub back, port back with a slot port. I carry a bunch of stuff around so im always throwin stuff on top of the box so sub on top wouldnt work too well. I want to keep it the full width because it stays in place pretty decent. the current box is 48x24x22 so its 12.4 cubes before subtracting sub and port..I would go smaller if I could to get the best sound. im thinking of going 48x22x17 which puts me at 8.5 cubes, I want to do removable port. If i make the port 7x7 at 9.4 deep that gives me 32 hz for daily. I could then build a few other ports...What other ports should I make for daily?

Someday lol..I need to take it easy on droppin money into the truck for a while..

Hell ya it was a good deal..the truck was rough, but for doing a custom build it was perfect since everything would be replaced anyway..and ya its got a 5.7..im hopin to swap in a 5.3 vortec out of a newer truck and throw a cam in it sometime..

Bought this blue truck when I was 17. It was a white W/T with 270k on it....Spent 2 years building it here and there.shaved doors, paint, lowered, rims, system etc.. Ended up crashing it and getting 6k from insurance. Kept the rims, and parted out the truck and made another 1500 back.. Bought this current truck for a grand. Had 7k initally to start workin on it. My summer jobs for the last 3 summers have paid $12+ an hour so that pays for the rest...Airride cost about 4k, system 1k, paint 2k..just savin up my money and havin priorities pays off

thanks man! glad I could supply

Heres a few more pics..

for now its staying like it is..sometime in the future if I paint the dash and everything it will get painted..but for a while this is how it will stay..

Thanks for the comments guys.. Finished the interior today. Started at about 1 and got done just not (930). The carpet wasnt real hard to do, just time consuming cutting it perfect. -replaced carpet -little things like floor lights, door pannel lights, dome lights -made sure door sills were screwed down good and all pannels were clicked in. I put carpet squares around each clip to cut down on rattling. -cleaned all plastics with simple green -painted Denali console woodgrain black..much better Here are some pictures..I will get better ones once i clean up the outside and get some daytime shots What i started with Ripped out..was soaked in the back and i bet it has been for a long time..sick Installatin random old carpet..pretty nice Installed..can see the amp and batteries. All wires hidden. Power wire ran under carpet..Will build a front so you cant see anything under the seat with the Denali console

damn man Rio? your like 20 min from me. I live in Portage..pretty crazy

Few pics of the truck back from being repainted

From what I can tell it is louder now then it was right behind the seat. It is also so much cripser. That could all be because of the new box but overall its much better now then before..And I think you will be fine with how your doing the subs

Thanks guys...im just glad all the work is finally paying off.. I will try to get a few videos once i get the truck back from paint. I need to fix the back wall flex first though..it is redic...

Well the truck was dropped off at the paint shop on saturday..should have it back friday or saturday of this week. Cant wait to get this thing all back together.

didnt get anything done last night really. worked on a few little things here and there. Tonight im pulling it all back out to finish off the box and make it water proof. the truck goes for paint today as well..ill have some updates hopefully

There is about 1/2" of room a the top and bottom and a little bit on the sides..the rubber boot has some give around the edges as well. At this point im not exactly sure, but it should be alright..worst case it would only mess up the littke "port" I built and that would be an easy fix..Ill look into that though thanks for mentioning it
