BSuns Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I have a 2001 Dodge 1500 ext. cab. i currently have 2 subs (which i do not know the brand they were high power and free) in a home made box that a buddy of mine designed a while back. I also have 2 Sony Xplod 10's just laying around that i had in there at one time. Now i am wanting to upgrade my box to have all 4 Subs in there and have some kind of switch to turn some of them off. Just looking for some full layout box designs. I would like to have them ported, but i'm not all that familiar with porting and designs so, any help would be amazing. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPINE408 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 DO NOT MIX SUBS!!!!!! pick the pair you want to use then ask for a box design anybody worth a damn is not going to design a box with mixed subs If someone tells you they can make a box for that RUN AWAY! Have you ever had your woofers blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSuns Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 No i havent had any subs blow yet. and now that ive thought about it i would rather just do 2 anyways due to keeping it a daily driver.. so any blueprints someone can draw me up for 2 10s ported would be great. I dont want anything massive, keep it as low profile as possible, but something that looks good and gives a great sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Mixing subs is perfectly fine. Loudspeakers just move air, there's nothing magical about it. Put each sub in it's own dedicated enclosure. The main problem with mixing subs is that some of the drivers will hit their limits before the others. Also, do NOT put subs in the car that are turned off while others are turned on. When you do that, the unpowered subs will act as passive radiators, and will reduce the output of the *powered* subs.
