does anyone have any knowledge on subs in a truck? i am making a box to fit under my rear seat.....i need to know if i will get better sound out of pounding the 10" subs into the bottom of the seat or poundig the subs towards the floor... It is a 2000 Chevy Silverado extended cab. I am looking for decent sound quality and also loud bass. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
someone has to have some kind of idea.......im just looking for some impots....im not looking for a profesional explenation... thanks for any comments
I am assuming that you are using a sealed box. Firing down by far is the best way to go. it give you much better SQ(sound quality) and you get almost the same accoustics as in a car. P.S. If you have high excursion subs, make sure when they throw that the cone doesnt hit the floor. Casey
Micheal, what do you think about a super-cab truck, such as a Ranger? I just picked up a 97 Ranger Supercarb (exdended cab model). I've been talking to Geo and Pressurized, and I'm about to construct an ABC box next weekend using Aeroports. I was planning on foreward-firing the woofers, and up-porting the aeroports, since that is the only direction I have room to port them with. What do you think?
I'd go with solo baric 10's. You don't need as much airspace, so you could build a pretty room efficient box. If you don't care about room, i would suggest 4 solo baric ten firing forward, towards the windshield. That is the loudest truck in our state bumping tens, in a ranger.
No, actually, I'm going to be building an ABC box using Aeroports. For right now, I'm going to be running a pair of Orion XTR series 2 10's, more or less just because I have them. I basically want to experiment with this type of box design because not many people do, and I want to see the results. If they get loud as ****, cool. If not, I'll sell them and pick up a pair of AE AV 12's and port them in 5 cubes. BTW guy - if your suggesting 4 solobaric 10's sealed over 2 12's ported - go do some reading on other audio forums, man, the 2 12's ported will displace more air than 4 10's sealed. I've been an OG at www.caraudioforum.com for years, come over and check that place out. I'd say one of the top 5 most imformative audio forums on the net. Do some reading, and bring that knowledge over here.
Sorry I did not reply, Where is Geo been anyway, I have not talked to him in forever, if you chat with him tell him I was up in his neck of the woods a few weeks ago, that is if he still lives in Buffalo NY. Any way, I know nothing about ABC boxes, Geo would be the one to listen to on that one, if he thinks it is a good set up, it is a good set up
