Posted December 11, 200915 yr Here is my install of 4 Fi X12's. Not any pics ome building the box, I was kinda in a hury but I have the finished product.Installed in a 1990 GMC Sierra ext cab long box, KnuKonseptz 1/0 gauge wire from batt to dis block, 4 gauge from dis block to amp. All 8 gauge inside sub box (I know, it's over kill.), Box is 8.2 cu ft after all displacements, port is 6.5"x16.5"x19.5" deep, tuned to 33 hertz. I will be installing Pioneer 6x9's and a Kenwood amp that I have. The head unit is Kenwwod. The amp is Power Acoustiks "4000.1". All stock speakers for now.

December 12, 200915 yr Author Looks good so far..just need to spray the portwhere abouts are you located?? i live in Grand RapidsI was thinking of spraying the port sometime, I was just in a big hury to here the subs. I live in Owosso, get on M21 and head east and your there.I will post a vid sometime in the next couple days.
December 12, 200915 yr Not only is this truck very similar to mine but you have the exact same color scheme as I do! Blue and silver FTW! Same aftermarket kit on the dash too.I like the design of the box. A lot more visually appealing than my 4 12's. How does it sound? Great work dude.
December 16, 200915 yr Author Sounds great, I thought it would hit harder than it does, no hair tricks or anything but it pounds pretty good. Thinking of upgrading to to some 12" Q's in the future, in the same box. I've got the Pioneer TS-D690R's hooked up to a Kenwood 500 watt amp in and they scream! I'll get some vids in later. I don't know how ***** ***** and all those guys handle those doors they make with all that treble, just the 6x9's i've got are ear piercing.

Do you think I would put 4000 watts to 1200 watt worth of sub? I bought the amp because it was cheap, not because it could push "4000" watts. This was kind of a budget build. I have all the wire to do the big three, I just don't find it necessary with only 1200 watts right now, and I do plan on getting a HO alt, I'm watching one on ebay right now...
December 16, 200915 yr The big 3 is good to do to a car regardless of what upgrades you made to the car. If I ever get a car and dont put a system in I will do the Big 3, just for the hell of it.

Wow, I didn't know that...Either way, great job, especially considering that you threw it together pretty quick.Love the box design!
December 18, 200915 yr Right on Always nice to see what people end up doing with the subs.Thanks,Scott
December 21, 200915 yr I have yet to do an X in a ported configuration. People were sleeping on the little drivers. In a sealed configuration, they are very high on my SQ list. As long as output isn't your goal, you will be a happy camper!
December 23, 200915 yr Not sure if people were sleeping or the economy was different when we had them there and people looked past them. All that bought them were exceedingly happy with the performance. Given how fast the last of the Xs went (and oversold due to a site glitch) we are pulling out the gen 2 version of the motor from the dustpile and getting those going for 2010.We will have options available for these and the motor looks like a mini-BTL. I was happy in testing the proto about a year and a half back... now with economy it seems a lower priced driver with solid performance makes sense.Thanks,Scott
December 24, 200915 yr Love your box design! Install looks clean and well laid out!I would recommend cutting the carpet out of your port.
