Have you considered going down to maybe a 12inch sub so you can run a properly sized ported enclosure? If done right a ported box can get just as tight and punchy as a sealed box. You just need the right woofer and an enclosure designed for your music taste, listening habits, and in car acoustics. It sounds like more of a pain in the ass than it is I swear. A whole world of options open up for you when you port an enclosure, you can adjust box volume and vent area to account for power used and cone control as well as what notes you'd like to be more prevalent. It really is a superior design. I can guarantee that given the same power a 12 in a well designed and implemented vented enclosure will deliver output and SQ performance exceeding that of a 15 or more so an 18 in a sealed enclosure. ESPECIALLY one that runs on the small side. You could end up with a sealed 18 that has -3 down point in the high 30 to low 40hz range if your choking it in a sealed box that's too small. better a smaller woofer in the right box than a huge woofer in the wrong box

Kind of a rant
BTL FTW replied to The_Big_Tank's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
This is why I pay for my cars in full up front. Why even pay interest on something that loses value every mile you drive it? -

I just took delivery of my 2010 Tahoe and I'm looking for ideas I'm currently toying with the idea of 2 18s or 4 12s tuned low out back and maybe a hidden 10 for SQ somewhere that's deactivated when I wanna wang I need LOUD components for the doors. I don't want to cut up/ make door panels I want to remain stock looking from the back seats forward My current idea/plan is: Double Din Alpine Head Unknown comp sets in all doors 8 inch subs in kick panels (MAYBE) 10 inch sealed sub hidden somehwere SD Amps 2 T3 TSNS 18s or 4 TSNS 12s off on a SD 12 or16K 4 Kinetik 3100s in back DC alts DO i NEED the SQ sub or are the TSNS clean enough that I dont? Any ideas where to hide the SQ 10 Component suggestions?

I see a lot of you guys running your 1 ohm amps at .5, .25 and even strapping them and running .5 ohms How are you not killing your amps if your running these daily? NOTE: Please don't give me the standard "if you have to ask don't do it" answer. This is purely out of curiosity. I run my amps at manufacturers recommendation so I can bump for hours on my long ass commute

Thisvis interesting. I've seen posts where claims of larger 45svin enclosures spike the rise. Are there any conditions to avoid? I'm off to get bigger amps!!! -

i'm going with 4 of the Tang Band 6 inch W6-1139SI in 1.45cf sub floor with a round port in between the two pairs port will be 4 inch wide tuned to 38hz it's gonna look like this when you look at the subs: OOoOO sub sub port sub sub I'm interested to see a: how these lil bastards perform b: how low these will get after cabin gain in such a small space c: gonna TermLab it for shits and giggles. -

the 8s would require either a more cubed shaped box or upwards firing enither of which she's excited about. She wants to have the sound but also be able to just throw shit in the back. With the 4 6.5s I could rear fire them and recess the drivers about an inch and put them close to the rear wall protecting the cones Amps will be under seats -

There's a guy around here with a single z9515 walled with 2 DD M4a amps on it. No clue what kind of magical fairy dust actually powers the amps through. only 1 extra XS battery in the back one under the hood and an unknown aftermarket alt -
My sister just got one of those SMART for2 road going go-carts and wants a lil bass. She doesn't want to give up space. I was thinking of doing a sub floor in the "hatch" with 4 rear firing Tang Band 6.5 inch subs in a row. Basically the enclosure would raise the hatch floor about 8 inches. I could give them about 1.35 cf total sealed and I be feeding of about 300 rms o Is it even worth it or should I do a single small box 8 incher? She listens to a little of everything and isn;t looking to flex body panels, just fill out the bottom octaves ,

she used to push a Accord with 4 10s she likes to bang! I'm redoing my truck and she'll eventually get my BTL 12 -
the misses wants a system. I've got some leftover gear I can install but space is at a premium (mini cooper) Here's what I'm thinking 1 Alpine Type R 12 ported in 2.5cf with 500 watts OR 2 Alpine Type 2 12s in 1.75cf per woofer sealed with 500 watts which is gonna get louder? I'm way too busy to build a bunch of boxes and test.
