Supercharged DCs Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 That would only give you 6sqin of port, or 2.4 per cube I believe. You will need much more than that. I cannot comment on a design or suggestion, as I have never used the L7 8" before. Just wanted to point out that bit about your port area. Quote Bassless once again.

jmilch Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 Supercharged is right. You're gonna need between 10-14 square inches of port are for the L7 8' s. If you have max dimensions shoot me a pm and ill help you out. Have you considered sealed enclosures due to your space limitations?

RAM_Designs Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) I have an '04 quad cab myself...very happy after removing the rear seats. 2 18's or three 15's under the window line, no problem.

bcpballer64 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 Congrats. For ported boxes you want 12-16 sq inches of port area per cubic foot of interior volume.

RandyAudio Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Posted August 7, 2011 Thanks. Hope to get working on my box soon. Quote
