Post Number: 1492 Registered: Mar-06 | If the sub does happen to fit but has almost no space left from the motor and the bottom of the box.. and the motor\magnet has a cooling hole in the center of it.... your going to make the sub sound different then it should from restricting some of the air flow... its like listening to a sub in free air.... sitting on the motor playing then holding it up playing... big sound difference if it has that cooling hole... its just like a port in a way.. stuff cant be to close to it or it restricts the flow... and id say 10's in that little space.. and make it deeper if you can.. or you can look into some shallow mount subs.. but i dont really know how good\loud any of those really are.. |

New member Username: Mmb2Post Number: 2 Registered: Feb-07 | Thanks for your help i am going to try the 10's, from FI's site it says the 10" has a 6.5" mounting depth so that should leave 2" of room, https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=1545db7716c66e3/shopdata/0020_Q/product_overview.shopscript i guess we will try it and see, i am using 2.5" seat lifters maybe i will switch to 4" Thanks again for the help! |
