lilwillywilly Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Can I have a box mounted vertically with 1 sub facing up towards the roof, and 1 pointing down towards the floor, 2 ports out either side ? box is going between the seats of a regular cab ranger, 1 sub up, 1 sub down, and 2 ports going behind either seat. will this be ok, kind of a weird set-up, I dont think it should effect the sound much, as the cabin is so small, but who am I ? Some guy hoping the experts can help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanJohnson Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I don't think it will be bad but could you put one facing up and the other facing back, I think that would sound better Quote Duel Sa-8 V.2 D2 Sub Enclosure 2001 Pontiac Grand am Head Unit - OEM Processor - RF 3sixty.2 Subs - RE Audio SXX12D4 Amplifier - Kicker ZX1000.1 Mids & Highs- Rockford Fosgate Power T2652-S Rockford Fosgate Power T1693 Mids & Highs Amp - Rockford Fosgate Power T400-4 Wiring - 1/0 AWG, 4 AWG, 8 AWG Alternator - Stock Batteries - non ext Box- Absolute PSEB12BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namosh Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I once did a box for a center console in my truck with one ten facing up and one down and it actually sounded really good. It was sealed, though. I don't know if it would act different ported or not. Quote My Ram Quad Cab Blow-through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilwillywilly Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I dont have the space for any other configuration. it is a regular cab ranger, could do 1 up and 1 forward, but it is a stick shift, and i would be hitting the sub with my elbow. subs are SA-8's if it matters. and thanks for the input guys.

Babyjuice Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I did a setup like this for my center console box in my f250. What I noticed was the sub firing forward excurted more and kind of bottomed out because the sub facing down was pushing it out more because it had nothing to "load" off of while the one facing down was "loading" off the floor. This could be wrong or just a million in one. Chance of it happening but that's What I noticed. Quote BABYJUICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilboom Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Should work fine if its whats you want to do . Im pretty sure you would have to reverse the polarities for them not to cancel.

lilwillywilly Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) why would i have to reverse the polaritys ? both subs will be mounted in the box the same way. just pointigng different directions . as far as loading the bottom sub firing at the floor, I am going to split the difference, the sub firing up will be 5" from the roof, and the sub firing down will be 5" from the floor. litteraly guys, I have no room, my box is 9.5x9.5x27. It touches the inside of both of my seats and the back wall. I can either mount 1 on the bottom and 1 on top, or 1 on top and 1 forward, but like i said, if i put one forward, then my elbow will be touching it. If I put the port forward, and tryed to build a console, the counsole would either be too high, hit my shifter, or be too shallow, and i needs me a center counsole to hold shit.
