so if I want the whole port outside the box I would just tune it using the whole internal volume of the box (of course sub displacement and bracing).. there would be no port displacement?

I am getting ready to put a system in the 2000 Monte Carlo I have I and I would like to know when porting if the port has to be inside the box. I would like to build the box and port it through the rear deck. I guess I was thinking that if I can port it into the vehicle cabin I can move more air... Subs firing back into the trunk with port up through the rear deck. Any input for a 2000 Monte Carlo design appreciated what is the best configuration for this type of car?

I was thinking a little Velcro strip might stop it. from moving back anyway

I saw your videos too.. you vehicle looks like it bangs really hard for 1 12.. cant wait to hear it. I am hoping that i will hit in the mid 40's this time.. 145-147 would be nice. What are you expecting or hoping for?

Yes you can it might be on video I recorded some of the last event.

I really like that look... clean and those FI's look good with that enclosure. Bass sound really deep and clean, also nice roof flex going on there. How much power are you giving those FI's?

Yea, I wonder if I can shim it with something to make it more solid. I think the whole headliner around the moon roof opening is slapping like crazy because when I open the moon roof and slide the shade all the way back you can still hear it slapping like crazy.

Well I been wanting to make a video of this so I finally did. When the bass is hitting hard it will move my Moon roof cover back. The volume was on 25 out of 35.

hmmm... no reviews on crutchfield for thoes speakers. I wonder why?

Man that is messed up... It said he is in critical condition so hopefully he pulls through this. I had lightning strike the ground about 20 feet away from me before and you could see it just rip a big chunk of earth up and you can smell it burning the air... weird smell

then subtract your wood thickness top and bottom... that would put you at 14" assuming you are using .75 wood thickness

looked and could not find...

There are a few around here.. I guess I will check with them. I wonder if the A pillars are the same for the Explorer and Mountaineer, I know they are basically the same thing but sometimes the trim package is different.

Does anyone know where you can buy factory A-pillars at? the reason I want to buy some is so I can try my luck at fiber glassing some speaker pods onto them. Then if I ever decide to sell the vehicle or go back to factory I have the original ones.

be honest now.. you was trying to pick her up :

There is no replacement for displacement ...

do you have video of the 179 Extreme 2 run? I seen the 160.5 and that was insane

man he hit him so quick... I had to rewind a couple times to see... damn he has quick hands

Man that flex is insane... congrats

I will take your advise.. and I will disconnect the 12's and see how the 15's sound by them self that will be pushing about 500rms+ toe each sub. I have a voltage gauge that I installed in the dash and I usually maintain 13.9-14.1 at idle but when I am at full tilt on the volume knob it will drop to 12.5 sometime a 12.3 volts .

Video of last set up Sealed at the headrest Driver door open at the head rest passenger side

Multimeter reads 1.1ohm on the speaker wire at the amp. also I had these 2 12's with a couple RFR2210 Punch Power 10's wired together last month but they were all wired to a 2ohm load on my T10001bd and I got it metered at a Meca event at 139.8 Sealed at the head rest and 140.7 driver side door open at the head rest on passenger side. Now that I have this set up and wired to 1.1ohm It is hitting so much harder then it was last time I got it metered.

From what I have read the RFR2215 were a special order item they are Punch Power 15's and made in like 1992. The p2's are different then the ones I see on the web but I think it is because they were the subs that came with a Rockford Fosgate Prefab sub box... That box was tuned to high for my liking and it what started me on my box building spree. I will be keeping my eye out for a coupe more RFR2215's so I can run 4 of them... but they don't show up too often. and yes they are all straight pipes. I don't think a Y pipe would do very well... don't even know how you would figure the tuning with that.

but it all some how works great together... the nice tight bass tracks Rock are crisp and punchy and the heavy bass tracks will lay a beating on you. I have had a couple people that could not take the bass because it was hitting them to hard. I guess I am just use to it. and just to think I am a small fish in this forum a lot of people here would probably make me want to jump out.
