Yeah thats what I have planned, I got a friend thats made his own box for his truck. And then I got a friend who works at O'Reily who could help me install it in his garage. He has the wiring for it and everything. And hopefully he would do it for free lol And I got another question, whats the difference between a sealed and opened box? One louder than the other? Or what, and what kind of sealing should be used? (Im kinda new with the car audio stuff, so Im going to sound so noob about this! lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarball Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Although Im sure pleanty will disagree; since this is your first I recommend sealed. Especially with the 25hz Fs on the P1s You'll get nice deep flat response. The box will be simpler to build and will be a greta overall experience all the same. With a ported box you will enjoy a nice increase at the tuned frequency, at the cost of a slightly more complex box and you'll miss out on the low lows that you can't hear anyway . /cheers Edited April 1, 2011 by Tarball Quote CURRENT SYSTEM: Alternator: Stock alt on mids/highs Isolated DC Power 270 SP - Charging @ 16.8v Batteries: (2) XS D1400s Power Cable: Double Runs of 1/0 KNU Kolossus Fleks Headunit: 80-PRS Sub Amp: DC 5.0k Subwoofers: 2 RE MT 15s /PSI dual .7ohm recones Subwoofer Enclosure: 9.1cubes @ 32hz - brutal.

Tarball Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Ok which one would be recommended for being obnoxious with? lol Ported. But you probably won't reach obnoxious with this setup...maybe a just little rude Look around these forums a bit and you will see what obnoxios can be...maybe even some ludacris and perhaps 1 or 2 plaid!
