Posted June 28, 200916 yr I have a 94 cadillac fleetwood I am trying to find the best way to put 2 18" btl fully loaded in the trunk I have 2 t40001d rf amps and enough juice to run it all I just need to find out wat everyone thinks will be the best way to due it. Also is it ok to put the ports on the outsid of the box so that way i can keep the cubic foot in the enclosure at the max
June 28, 200916 yr Yes, You Can Use External Ports, But There Is No Way In Hell An Optimal Box Is Going To Fit In That Trunk, Much Less Without Choking Off The Port.Why Not Do A Mini Wall And Take The Back Seat Out?
June 28, 200916 yr I have 3 kids to go in the car also...Please tell us your not going to play it loud with them in the car...
June 28, 200916 yr Author only if they are naughty... just kiddin, just kiddin... my kids hate loud noise for some reason (think its there mom) and anyways it mite be to loud for me in the car
June 28, 200916 yr why 18s? get some 12s in their optimal enclosure and it will be much better for you. You might even be able to do with 15s. Also, if I had kids that hate loud noise then I'd go with less power to save my kid's ears, mine from them crying, and money.
June 28, 200916 yr Author alraedy ordered 2 18's and 2 rf t40001d amps and 4 of the biggest stinger batteries. It was all for my jeep but my old lady rolled it the other day on her way to work so i decided to see if i could make it fit in fleetwood.. I was talking to local stereo shop and they want to cut entire back deck out and redue how the trunk closes so that I can utilize the entire trunk.. thinking about having the ports external and have it ported into cab while speakers face forward
June 28, 200916 yr No Sense In Doing That, Loss Of Cabin Gain. Wait....Speakers Facing The Back Of The Trunk And Port Into Cabin? If So...No...That Equals Cancellation.
June 28, 200916 yr Author you think i could make the 2 15's louder than my buddy subaru he has 3 12" 9500s with 3 mtx 1501d
June 29, 200916 yr Maybe, it depends how well your and his enclosures are built and which one of you two have found out what your car peaks at.
June 29, 200916 yr Author i appreciate everything guys and I hope to start getting everything started in a week or so I'll keep you informed with the build
July 1, 200916 yr Author If I went with 2 fully loaded 15" btl's what due you think the optimal box size would be
July 1, 200916 yr Around 4 Cubes After Displacements Each Driver If You Want A Seperated Chamber Box.
July 1, 200916 yr Author Would it be better to have 2 seperate boxes or ! large box and with the box being 4 cubes what size should the port be
July 1, 200916 yr Author You need 8 cuft NET volume with around 120 sqin of port area tuned to 33-34 Hz.Thank You
