What generally meters best in non-walled trucks?

[ChevyBoy95]

reason between the 2 18s and 3 15s is i can fit both, 2 18s is cheaper, and when i sell my XLs (decently soon), i will be upgrading. Still undecided, will be around 1300 for 3 15s when i upgrade or 900 ish for 18s.

major reason behind difficulty is im trying to stay under the window line so i dont get put in a different class when i start competing.

ok my bad didn't read the whole first post i apologize.. i think you can still make subs forward port up work.. but subs and port up could also work.. its tough to determine which would louder exactly..and i have a single cab f-150 and mine is subs up port to the side which could also be an option for you lol

You have a NBS Chevy full-size don't you? Are there enough guys that have gotten loud in one yet to make the determination which setup meters best? I always though the full-size benefited from subs and port up to passenger side.

This is generally what I have seen to work the best

Kind of a useless thread on my part, for the sake of having a box i know will perform, ill stick with the 3 15s idea.

2 18's can work man lol there just isn't a cut n clear best box you can use thats going to get the loudest.. if nothing else build a few and find out

So far in my S-10 subs up/port up on driver's side has been the loudest. My new box will be subs forward/port up on driver's side, I'm thinking it will be louder with subs forward but we'll see

but there is more of a reasoning, i will be doing 3 XL 15s, so i could just upgrade subs and direct swap, done deal. If i did 18s, i would have to pull it out, build a new box, get 18s, and be unsure on the result... i like the 3 15s thing too, it is different.

I agree, box building is fun and not terribly expensive for just MDF(for a trial run at least). I think first configuration I would try is subs up, port up to passenger side.

I've tried port on passenger side, it was a much lower score on the meter vs driver's side
