I've always found it best to aim the sub toward the most sound part of the vehicle. The floor normally wins in that case. I've got no seats in this case, but anyway. What are you thinking of running? I know you can fit two 12" Alpine Type Rs under a chevy ext cab. |

Silver Member Username: SymplestilesStockton, CA Usa Post Number: 347 Registered: Aug-04 | if your box isnt made for downfiring, but you want to downfire the sub anyways, would you just set the edges of the box up on some wood blocks or something that would prop it up enough so that the sub wouldnt be damaged by hitting the floor? |

Bronze Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 88 Registered: Nov-05 | You could do that I suppose but wouldn't recommend it very much. Far as pics for my setup goes, It is a work in progress. I don't exactly have enough money to finish it yet but I should have pics of the box and subs towards the end of this month. Itll be two RESX15s in about 3.5cuft per chamber tuned and ported to prolly 32hz. Going to tube the box on the top so the air will compress more and in the empty space that creates in the top of the box I'm putting two RE8"s for midrange. Going to run some Kappa Perfects for the other components. Undecided on the amps yet but most likely I'll end up with two Kicker 1200.1s and then a Kicker 350.1 x 4 for the components. It is all pretty costly not counting the new Alt and two optima yellow tops, wiring, sound deader, ect. I've got a smaller check this 2 weeks plus with Christmas and all, $2,800 will go quick. Back to the question at hand, if you are going to prop up the box just don't set the blocks there, secure them to the box. As long as the subs have enough room for the excursion without hitting the floor you'll be alright. |
