UPDATE: check out the new setup! Box just put in today. Looks good, sounds grrrrreat.

mmm.....

 

Such a tease. Any hints on what the box will be like?

 

half the rear cab, not sure how high. jump seat removed. wanted to regain one of my jump seats, so rather than just move my box and single 300w 10" to the side, i'm ditching the whole setup for a much better system that will stay out of the way better too. I wish it were already tomorrow.... i'm not doing the box building, my audio place is. they do good work, so don't worry!

 

Thank you for my early Birthday present!

 

i know what you like

 

Thats gonna be awesome! like I said in your other thread, fi ftw! I wanna see how large it is in your truck as I might go the same route

 

it's being made as we speak! pics up later this afternoon

 

alright check out the pics of the box! original post updated.

 

those subs are kick *** man!

 

I know this is kinda an old thread but I have a question. Why did you put that sub in a sealed box? It would get much louder in a ported box.

 

Sealed boxes offer more punch. ported offer more crisp and clear.
its all about how the sound bounces around.

 

Ported boxes put out higher decible levels and lower lows. Not necessarily clearer or cleaner bass. Most would agree that a sealed box offers tighter more focused bass notes.



GB :)

 

sealed boxes give me headaches, ported or gtfo

 

coming from the guy who ran a basslink....lol

just messin with ya

 

lol that thing wasn't even loud enough to give me a headache, I just liked it because it was clean looking

 

true true.

 

You might be partially correct, a sealed box has more punch, but it is the better box for sq. Ported will be louder but more boomy, when built to proper specs of course.

 

ported takes up a lot more space. I listen to mostly rock, loud inaccurate bass isn't my goal.
ported is also a lot more complicated, and since it wouldn't benefit me at all I went witht he more compact, better SQ, sealed box.

EDIT: smcasey barely beat me, in fewer words. same idea though. haha.
