i have a 04 gmc ext cab and was wondering what are my options are. i have a downfire now and well some of my drunk'n buddies trued to "port" it one night when i was outa town and now needless to say it sounds like crap, i dont know if i should go with another down fire or if there is any other options? i have 2 kicker cvt shallow mount 12's any ideas? thanks guys :)
You don't have room to port those effectively. You actually probably just have a box with a big hole in it now. If you plan on sticking with those, a sealed enclosure is your only option. I myself prefer downfire in an ex cab.Quote:

It could be done if you were willing to lift your seat, which is first off, uncomfortable, and second, it can be dangerous if not done correctly.
Yuuuup! Also, there isn't enough airspace for 12's in these trucks. If you think it sounds good now, you should try 10's. The airspace in most prefab boxes for our trucks is perfect for most 10's. The diamond 10's in mine sound very close to my bedcut with 2 12's with the same amp and a run of the mill df prefab box. The prefab is 3/4 cube per enclosure(they are separated) and the diamond d3 10 requires 3/4 cube in a sealed enclosure, that is diamond's recommendation. Those kicker shallows require 1 cube. I installed some in a friend's truck and was not at all impressed. Then again I haven't been impressed by any shallow sub except for a p3s that installed with a ported box in a 07 Tacoma.Quote:

I'd prefer two sealed 10s to two sealed 12s any day though strictly because of SQ. I'm a ported guy through and through. I won't even put a sub in my truck since it can't be ported effectively as I'd like.
I hear ya! My current setup is good enough but I still miss my bedcut.Quote:

first, have your now sober buddies chip in for a new box........there are many options for prefab'd downfiring or upfiring boxes, just get something at fits your woofers needs.Quote:

It sounded like ass because you had too much airspace for the subs...
i have a downfiring pro-box with 2 p2 12s absolutly the best box that i have ever had it the hardest hitting box that i have heard in a excab truck that fits under the sit and only have one punch 400 powering them! JMO tho LoL
Downfire is the way to go!
When I get the money I will have a custom JCdesign under seat box for a single 12 on a rockford bd1000.1 amp that was rated at 1200+. :)
Should be fun.
Baha, JC designs.. I'm definitely under the assumed name "Malicious Motorsports"
Im telling you right now...I will be stealing that name for my shop. :)Quote:

Yuuup. It always sounds easier than it is. I have a shop already, it's just not prime location for here, there's no money to be made in Wichita Falls anyway. Too much competition in a small area.
ive heard of people putting blocks in the seats to gain a little room underneath and build a pretty decent ported box ill see if i can find any examples

This is all hypothetical bullshit of course. The fact that I'm still in college for another year and don't plan on doing anything more than oilfield after school kind of shows how serious I am. But then again, if I get a wild hair, I don't see why it would be an issue. Eventually you'll quit paying for a site that you'll never build or be serious about.Quote:
