like nick said, go with SS's recommendations...i don't ever use the port area calculator...and now u know why..lol.. i'd do the 35in^2 of port and whatever length the port calculator gave u... the thing to remember, the calculator does not account for sub or port displacement meaning, when u build ur box, u have to manually account for them and build ur box accordingly to achieve the net volume of 2.6ft^3 after port and sub displacement... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well, like u corrected me earlier...i try to use three basic things: xmax(for port area) and displacement(for box volume) and fs(to help determine what i'm tuning at) why? 1) for everyday installs, they are the only three things that matter to make just about anything sound good to just about anybody 2) because i honestly don't know enough about physics and electrical engineering to speculate about transient response, qts, qms ,pms and whatever else u wanna throw at me...lol... though i know the things in number 2 to indeed relate to how a subwoofer will ultimately sound in vehicle, for what most ppl are after, just knowing those three things i listed is usually way more then enough. but then again, i'm learning all the time, so all this may change... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

howdy wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

apparantly....lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

we passed the thread.... lol... good job guys!!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hey nick...ur right about the amperage pull... i think i have a faulty altenator, even with everything off, sometimes when i get off the gas i'll get a huge voltage drop...time to put the stock 105amp'r back on until i can get a good 200amp'r... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

u are correct, i forget to mention how the sub's xmax helps to dtermine port area.. 2 lit...carstereo.com has a great port calculator...u plug in net box volume, port area and desired tuning..it gives u length...i know of two local shops who use it to figure ports wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

for ur box volume..i'd recommend about 2ft^3 each, tuned to 34hz...that should provide the necessary sql... as too the mounting, we just did something similar in a buick...we keep the baffle at the same angle as the seats, but the subs don't hit the seats either...we also did sealed. it does indeed sound good and gets pretty damn loud too..(memphis 10"s off the big memphis belle) wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ur correct in the assumption box volume and port area are the two most important aspects of box tuning. the sub is just need to determine it's displacement and to figure out what tuning is going to be needed. with 800 wrms on tap, i'd run with the port area u have planed and use about a 2.5ft^3 box. u can actually still run a slot port in one of two ways.... side load it and use a triangle port. i don't remember the formula to figure out triangle area, but all u have to do is keep the area about the same... or still use an "L" shaped port, but the back wall will have to be two walls.....kinda like this.. *= the outside of ur box and looking at it from the top *****************-----------

T.O.P. beyotchessssss i>j0o! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and if that didn't get ur attention..lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and nick is ignoring me..... blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

any amps out there that do about 4k at 2ohm? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i got the solo x back!! yay!! i'm running it at 2 ohm though...my truck didn't like the .5 ohm load, though i suspect by this weekend it will be back there..hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

damn nick, u slid back to respected??? lol u suck...hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nick, u beat me to the xxx for sale thing at ca.com.. lol.....i've got his cash swingin..lmao wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nick, supa, ryan way to go getting the count back up!!! much applause!! if the count hadn't gone backwards, we'd (u guys) would have caught the beast!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

some improvements to the vital area's..lol.. no more cone hitting terminals... and some more of the stuff we all like!!! mike is back, we'll let him deliver all the goodies..lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

howdy wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well, i'm out! talk to y'all later! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

CST. California Super Trucks. Dealt with them in the past and they've treated me well. Fabtech, Rancho, Skyjacker, etc all good. Probably 38's. Might go bigger. Gears become a problem. CST? hmmm...link? with 8" of lift...38's would be about the limit without trimming... and if ur running 4.11's...and ur diesel....u should be fine... just get a speedo corrector wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer :

ryan...anytime man..anytime u ever need a favor..u just hollar..i'll do the best i can!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ok, if hte other ever shows up i'll rip it up or send it back to u.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

steve u wanting aggresive tires or AT's? staying with a 16" wheel or wanting to go larger? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
