Posted January 26, 201213 yr Well I think Im goin to go with a Zcon 18 for my trailblazer. I have enough room for the 18 but what would be best for the box size and tuning. I know 6 to 8 cubes is optimal with 31-37hz tuning but what have you done or do you think is the best? Also how should I have the sub and port face? I'm pretty sure sub up port back. For amp and electrical, I have a crescendo BC2k and a deka 9a31 in the back.I'm not going for numbers, just straight daily. I listen to mostly rap and that's what I want it to sound best with. My max dimensions are 46w x 32.5d x 20h. thanks in advanced and if you need anymore info please ask.
January 26, 201213 yr sub up port/back and tune to 33hzGo with the larger box if space isn't a concern.Why not the Xcon?
January 26, 201213 yr I'd do the ZCON 18" sub up port back if you have the room to keep the port away from the back wall 8"-10" 6³-7³ with 18² of port per cube of box. 38Hz tune. That's 1/2 my box and my ZCON's Love It.
January 26, 201213 yr Author Ok so I'm thinking 7 to 8 cubes wit 18inches per cube with 32 Hz tuning?
January 26, 201213 yr Ok so I'm thinking 7 to 8 cubes wit 18inches per cube with 32 Hz tuning?Don't need to tune that low.1. With big ports they play low as is.2. TB's resonance is around 42Hz. So tuning low is like pissing in the wind.

January 26, 201213 yr Author Sorry I saw he said 38 now..I just want to make sure ill be able to hit the low lows really good.

January 26, 201213 yr What do you mean ready?The vehicle will flex around the woofers. Which will mess your lows up.
