  1. Cool. I think i would rather do it similar to ur way. I am just having a little trouble believing that the acordian boot wont let any sound escape. Or will it? If i make my cutout as big as the box face,bolt the box to the bed pushed up snug to the front of the bed,put the boot in and seal it properly, is this the best scenario for what im looking for? thanks and sorry for the dumb questions.

    if you seal the boot properly then nothing should ge in our out. the only thing you have to do is seal the box off from the bed totally. get the box as close to the cut out as possible and bolt it down. some people use expanding foam to seal it off from the bed. I used sound deadener to seal my box off. on the outside of the box on the top and sides. then on the inside on the bottom of the box. just any way you can seal it off from the bed.

  2. Man you guys are quick! I appreciate it. Ugpbmx thanks for the advice i will round the corners.RickyA thanks for the heads up on the offroading. Lol. I threw that out the window with the 26s. lol. I wasnt sure on the box design. Im not very knowledgeable on the 6th order and 4th order stuff. Im a dumbass when it comes to that stuff. I guess that was another question i had. My thought was to make the cutout almost as big as the face of the box. make a ported box with the subs and port on the face of the enclosure. Im just not sure on how to port it into the truck. i wanna be able to see the subs from inside the truck and dont mind a bigger cutout. Ive seen people put the box in the bed and build like a large "port" onto the front of the box that slides through the opening in the cab. I would think that would cause some sort of unwanted noise.

    no problem man. some people cut the hole just big enough fo rthe port to come through when doing a 6th order. with mine I made my cutout pretty much as big as the face of my box. If anything the hole will act as another port that can be tuned. I would post a pic if potobucket wasnt down.

  3. Brand new to the sight. I have been doing car audio professionally for 6 years now and unfortunately havent had the opportunity to do a blow though. So i need some help with my 04 silverado extended cab. I want to put 4 Rockford T1 10s in it. I would like the cut out to be about the size of the face of the box. Any ideas and some direction on how to go about would be great! Thanks in advance!

    when I did my blow through I just used an angle grinder and cutoff wheels. don't make the corners 90 degrees. do rounded corners so the boot has a good seal. its hard to get it to bend and seal at a 90. Id say just cut the whole as big as you can while still keeping structural integrity. use some epoxy sealer in the joins for a water and air tight seal, and you should be good to go.

  4. id like to see how this goes since it is an older vehicle. I would think that you might get a stronger ignition from the coil and a stronger spark to the plugs. but that would make me think you would get worse gas millage because

    you are useing more gas when getting the bigger spark. if that makes sense its late lol.

    More spark means more efficient fuel burn because there is more spark doesn't mean there is more fuel injected to be burned

    ok yea that makes sense. then it seems like you would waste less gas per spark. im not sure it would be that big of a difference though. I could just mean a more efficient/consistant spark resulting in better gas mileage. But like 95_1500 said you could fry some things.

  6. Hey dose anyone have a Term Lab and live in Orlando? or know if a local shop has one??? ect. i really want to see my numbers of my car.... help

    what do you hit off those 2 level 4s??

    well right now they are in a box for four of them. im getting 144.1 at 29hz. im shooting for 150 with all four.

  7. I'm getting terrible ground noise coming through my speakers, it was faint but it got louder once I put in my cadence ceq773 equalizer, anything to fix this? I've tried ground loop isolaters, I've tried grounding the rcas, grounding the ground loop isolater, I've tried almost everything. My amps are grounded to the rear strut towers, and grinded to bare metal

    try taking the grouds off of the strut tower and moving them to a different area. at least just for temp to see it it gets rid of the noise.
