Need some advice F150 Build. [Sundown][DD]

[anythiNG]

Posting this from my tablet, so sorry in advance.

Just got a single cab F150. Going to put a fairly nice system in it in a month or two. Ive been tossing around a few ideas lately, so after lurking SMD for quite a while, I decided to ask you guys for some input.

So I'm looking for loud, booming bass. I'm somewhat new to car audio. I have plenty left to learn so excuse me if i say something that doesnt make sense. So im going to build a wedge box for behind my seat. I want to run a Sundown SAZ1500 and 2 DD 1510s in a ported box tuned to the low 30s. Going to put a d3100 under the hood, and do the big 3. (Willing to put a second battery in if needed)

Someone told me that in stead of doing that, I should run a singl DD 3512 in thesame style box. At 2-2.5 cubes in the low 30s.

So my first question is; which would you recommend? 2 1510s or a 3512. Off of a SAZ1500 either way. Would butting the 3512 by its self in that big box allow it to get louder than two 10s crammed in there. Or am I looking at this all wrong? Id appreciate all the help I can get. Ill provide additional info as needed.

What are the max dims for a box? Many times slanted boxes are used to take as much space as possible.

what year model f150?

[anythiNG]

99 F150

L 50''

H 23''

Top Depth 5''

Bottom Depth 9''

I measured the dims a few days ago. I am not home at the moment so I had to take it from memory, but im pretty sure its right. And with a box that big, at max dimentions, It will effect my leg room a bit, so in the end I would like to get by with a bit smaller of a box than max size depth wise so i ca have leg room.

i have a 97 and 97-03 are all prettymuch the same, that being said i cant get 23 high or 50 long so post pics if you could. im working on a single 12 setup right now for mine. if i was you id do the single 12 with sub behind passenger seat and port side firing behind drivers seat. it should save you some leg room

[anythiNG]

Cant take pics right now, i will when i cn. If I fire the port out the side i cant go 50'' because the port cant breathe. So itd be more like 48 long.

Just remeasured it. I can get 23 height but my top depth has to be like 3.5 or 4 in. Or i can do less height more depth. Seems like if i reduce the depth and keep it long and tall i cansave some leg room. lol

So like 48 long, 22 tall, 3 1/2 top, 9 bottom. I could run aeroport(s). There is a metal support horizontal on my back cab wall about halfway between the floor and bottom of the rear windshield. Should i design my box with a lipthat would allow me to fit the bottom of my box to go under that support like this one? http://www.ddaudio.c...sign_chevy.html

Really I think i can do fine with the box when it comes to designingone that will fit my cab well. My real delimma is wonderung what to put in it. 10s or a 12. Im leaning towards the 3512.

id do the 3512, dont tune it that low.

Where should I tune it? Like 36-37?

[cmw5e]

i ran an old us amps merlin amp (about 1800 watts at 1 ohm) in my f150 with stock alt and regular battery under the hood with a kinetik in the back and big 3 done, no troubles. and like he said id do the 3512 about 35 hz

[anythiNG]

Yeah, I think my electrical should hold up fine. Ifigured the 12 would probably be what most people would reccomend.
