M38's volume questions


Recommended Posts

Ok guys I need some help. I was trying to do 4 M38's in the back of my F250 behind the seat. If I move the seat up, and use fiberglass instead of wood to cut down the displacement, I can squeeze 3.03 cubes out of the enclosure after sub displacement. Now after that I have to add a port. To do a 6" Aero Port at 35 hz I'm looking at a 17.138" long port. That brings me down to about 2.75cu ft left. Is that enough on a Crescendo 3500? Or do I need the final net to be 3 cu ft.

Second option is to go all sealed which I'm not sure I want to do. But I have the space for that.

Last option is to just do 3 and run them at a 1.34 ohm load and I would have enough space for those as well.

I guess I could run a pair of XL10's too.

I need some options folks.

Thanks!

Hey guys. Glad to be back around Kyle.

Will, thanks for the response, that was what I was hoping for. Ok I'll do that. Going to order them now.

Hey Will, since you responded, I know you've done a bunch of custom stuff, how hard is it to put an amp rack in the seats? The last time I was going to try it I failed epically! I have the 06 F250 now, and I'd like to put the amps in the seat bottom so when you fold it up, bam there she is, but still hidden otherwise. I'm guessing it's just a matter of hollowing it out and then building the rack, probably out of glass right? Then making sure the fabric that's remaining fromt the seat stays tight?

Have you done that before?

every seat is going to be different i would cut out the bottom of the seat see what i have for space, make a wooden frame across the entire bottom so i have something to tuck my seams into for the upholstery, if i could build a box for the amps to sit in thats what i would do personally its quicker and easier then trying to glass the amps in once thats done i would take a piece of 1/8" to go across the amps wrap that in whatever material you see fit and tuck the factory upholstery into the frame you made in the beginning. not sure if that make sense but hope it does if not feel free to call me
