i blew one of my 12's and im thinking of switching up my set up. i have a 1000 watt mono and was thinking of maybe some 10's but i wanna try and put the subs behind my rear seat? i have a ext cab. 2004 sierra. i was wondering what you all though and also what my options are.... thanks for the help guys...
Diamond D3s
ill have to look'en up. do you think its possable to run some 10's behind the seat? and or what would you guys run??????? i may sell my amp ad stuff but i dont wanna spend a grip of money
Another option is the shallow mount p3 10s from rockford. in the right box they pound.
No, they won't fit behind the seat in a ext cab. Downfire is all you can do in the ext trucks and keep the back seat.
If you want to keep your under seat storage you can either cut the bed or get a center console built. I've always been a fan of bedcuts myself. If they're done right you will never have any trouble.
i was also talking to a buddie i guess he can build boxes, he said he may be able to build me a box that the subs hit stright forward 10's tho ? what do u all think?
downfire is better. You can fit a good size 10 in a prefab box. I have 2 Diamond D3's in my truck, almost as loud as the bedcut in my old one.
how are the d3's? i have a 1000 watt mono block.....
I love them. They are 400w RMS a piece.
what about the new bostons?????????
I've got a pair of Rockford Fosgate P1 10s single 4ohm coils that I was able to move my windshield wipers with in a sealed box. They are only 150 RMS per sub, but they make some bass. You don't really need anything high end, just a very good box.
The issue with forward firing is that you will kick the cones and tear them
well as far as frount firing they make these bee cone things that go ver them i saw some kicker ones yesterday and they are about a inch and a half cone and pretty tough but would that be good enough to protect it and would that be better than a down fire box?
In my honest opinion, forward firing does not sound as good as down fire.
kk ill keep that in mind. i know i wanna keep my seat but i dont know much about box's i got a buddie that can make whatever i want. just need to figure out what is the best way to go.... thanks for the help guys anything will be considered.
You can do four 8" digital designs subs in a ported box under the rear seat:P
He may have done that a year ago when the last post was.
Also, 4 DD1508s require more room ported than he has available. He could fix 2 at the most.
I had two L7's in a forward firing box in my 01 ecsb pushed with a punch 125 and it sounded like poo compared to my buddy's one P2 in a prefab box with a 500 watt kenwood amp....
...... Also things got a little frisky on a backroad one night and that 'tough' aluminum or whatever it was cone was no match for my size 11 ariats lol get a downfire IMHO
You can fit about a 3.5 cubic foot box but I haven't looked into the 8's much to know what airspace they require.
Are you high?! 3.5 cubic feet!!! I have a seat lift and a HUGE box u der my rear seat and barely got 2.5 cubic feet. And Im only running a single 12. People need to understand that you need A LOT of room and a ton of wattage when you get into the high quality subs.Quote:

Thats why I'm just eventually doing a blow through on mine. I'm tired of wimpy bass in this truck.Quote:

You have enough airspace for all that sub? My 2 10" P3 need ~.75ft^3/ea. iirc.Quote:

ill try to post some pix not sure how this work from the cell phone
I have a T3 T600 in a underseat ported box in my truck pushed by a 700 wrms autotek amp. Sometimes less is more. My box is ported and built to spec and it's a neat fit and sounds better than the 2 Kicker comp 12"s I had. You can probably save money this way too. I surprise many folk who think that bass must come from 2 subwoofers.
