yep, if you're only going to run one rl-i, teh mc500d will be perfect! (dunno where i got you were going to run a pair of them?? ) that box (.75ft^3 net sealed) should work wonderfully in your situation. however, a ported one will give more output with a slight loss of sq. if you can squeeze jsut a bit more airspace, i'd suggest about 1ft^3 tuned mid to high 30's (35-38hz) with roughly 15-20in^2 of port (if u go slot) or 4" round. you can always run the port almost entirely outside the enclosure if it will help ya get the space ya need. it sounds like you've got a good plan going and don't forget...we're suckas for pics!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i think the sun out there fried a thing or two...lol... but i understand, it was repetitive..but still cool. we have a loose group of riders who do some of that, but not to the extent of control this guy demonstrated. the vert wheelies, the peelies and stuff... and the torque the ducati had....damn!! that bike is a monster...lol... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

good morning ed jim...linky no work for us none mods... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

did i say i made them?? uhhhhhh...nooooooooooo i'm not that talented. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well, two issues... first, unless mike still has some single 4s available, the amp ur using (i'm thing the mclass 500d?) isn't going to work. u can however use either the m class 1000d(which i'd recommend) or the pr series 500d or 1000d..all three are stable to one ohm, which is what u'll need with a pair of dual 4 subs. or maybe a regulated amp (like the jl 500/1 or 1000/1, there are others, like pg) that will give u the power at 4 ohm, which ur vehicle will love ya for! second, .83ft^3, is that net before sub displacement, and per sub? if so, that'll give ya around .75ft^3 net per sub sealed and that's sweet! if that's not enough,u can do some loose polyfill and that'll help "gain" some internal volume. also, a low tuned ported box would be awesome. of course to me, that's about 36-38hz, and would require about 1ft^3 per sub after port and sub displacment. now for ur truck, if u don't mind losing a lil legroom, i know 2.5ft^3 ported can be attained, but u have to build up over the trim piece. so ported can be done. but it's not an easy box... f150 box i just completed thread but if ur after more sq then spl...do the sealed box and 1000wrms for the pair.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

what is the box tuned to? did they built exzactly to memphis specs? if so, they are tuned about 40hz. in which case a lower tuned box will help immensely. the enclosure i did is a common chamber 6ft^3 net box with ~62in^2 of port tuned to 36hz. it gets low. his ranger is basiclly falling apart on the inside. for the money, you have very nice subs. your box is the issue, not the subs as far as the lowlows go... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and with that... i'm out... peace! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

it's official....lol.. i'm done making any enclosures that aren't of the rectangular variety (or a good friends).....and i'm not painting any... these last couple have stretched my patience and my pocketbook...so whilest i love doing it, i'm just not going to...lol..... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

damn e-thugs..lol... anyway, in that pic of the rear of the box, u can see the landscaping i alluded too a few weeks ago....3200pds of river rock shoveled by these two hands....my wife has got to quit the big projects... and i made the chairs u can see in the pic too... yep, i'm patting my own back..lol... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nice..lol... u do anymore testing with the box? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nope...link? supa..u poser...u wish u could do that...and yep, they are called enddo's..the control he exhibited to do what he did is what's impressive... ed..i was wondering the same thing... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i'm here..but just for a minute...lol going to evenings this week so i thought i'd get into practise of going to bed a few hours later then normal... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

but i'll let you in on a secret....it's not just that your amp has power, but you're maxing out 250wrms subs with 400wrms...chances are, you're as loud as your going to get. like the picture i showed you earlier, i've done an almost identical setup, and trust me, those subs are giving you all they can if you've got your gains set to 400 per sub (before impedence rise of course..lol)... so be careful with that knob, or you'll be trying out memphis's warranty service... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

1: rl-p 12 2: 1.25ft^3 sealed, but loved it in ~2ft^3 tuned to 34hz 3: all types of music 4: up to 1200wrms, only needs about 750 to really get after it! 1: rl-i8 2: .75ft^3 tuned to ~36hz 3: again, all types of music 4: given it as much as 1700wrms, but does a great job off 500-600wrms in the rl-i's case, i think a slightly higher tuning (like 40-45hz) would be in order if crazy output was wanted. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

beat ya to it!! lol slow poke! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

if ur revs are dropping that much...time for a new batt and alt! no way around it! btw, what amps and how are the subs wired? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

this vid is 9 minutes long..and takes a bit to download...but it's worth it!!! can u say wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ??? man..i wish i could do that... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

lol...no...just some old pioneer thing that was given to me, so i gave it to him... my "tester" is a 12w0 in a pre-fab sealed box... but thanks for the compliments... and the screws....yeah, the screws. he didn't want the baffle to "blow" off from the power and such... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

just finished this about a week ago for bigboygrubbs (jim referred him)..it's ~ 2.5ft^3 tuned to 40hz with 42in^2 of port....it's the future home of a audioque HD 12" sub... quick coat of black just for no reason (he's going to linex the enclosure).... enjoy.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

too hard for me...lol good job jim wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

but i'm slowing down.....got other things to do... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i'm a cookin with gas now... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

wow....i'm wh0ring it up old skool... hehe who needs TF?? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well, i actually don't need a second ajob...but i need to prioritize what i do need/want and start buying...or something... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
