explorer guys i have a few questions on box position

[sbg]

thanks!

On the meter it will be louder firing to the driver side...but not necessarily to the ear. Like others said keep about 6-8in away from the side.

u cnat see in that pic! i have 6'' + all i have to do is move the box around

Those 6" port would need 6" of free airspace in front of them to work properly, I don't really think judging from the pic that you have the clearance.

I would just mod the box.

Then you are good if both ports have the 6" clearance, keep them driver side, the rest is what those subs can actually do and if the box specs are right for them. (that is even if the specs of the box are what they claim they are). 1 6" for 3 12s would be a choked port if those were SA-12s but maybe is right for those.

Judging from the picture these should be the ones you have:

So no specs other than 300W RMS? and 89dB sensitivity.. good for nothing.

yep thats them. this would not at all be my 1st pick of subs but i got the subs and box for $180 from my friend, guy who owns a shop. so for that cash i just went with it. + my truck got jacked a few months back and i havent had subs so it was kinda like get this just for now setup. they do hit hard i can say that , the 1st day i hooked them up i had a big bang 2400.1 and man they got down crazy for what they are! but that same day the amp went out lol (P.O.S) SO i sold that amp for parts to a guy for $60 and put in 10$ and got a vvme 1500(1000rms @ 1ohm) its super small but it works real good for now. and i only for real had to pay 10$ for it so its all good. i would have got a good 2k or more amp but i need to work on a new battery under the hood and a alt. friend that owns the shop told me they did a 150db on the TL with the subs in this box on a DD amp in a suburban. im sure that was not on music. i think the box is not right for the subs it seems that they suck more air in then out?!? like if u put your hand to the ports they suck your hand in but not a lot of air comes out. but its whatever like i said for 180 they hit hard and work for me right now. been thinking of turning the ports around so that the ports are on the outside of the box and see what that does.

I would just call these guys up and ask them for box specs and then see what to change, port driver's side should be fine if you have the 6" of clearance.

You are more than ok then, so just call them to know box specs, net volume, port area, tuning, the port area seems low 3 12s in a single 6" but who knows maybe these subs have 7 mm xmax and the port area would be fine.

im going to give my friend a call, and send db drive a email to see if i can get specs on the subs. db drive makes the subs)

Explorers get loud either way, personally i prefer ports facing driver side because it realeases a lot of stress from the hatch wich you can´t deadning at all because makes you quieter lol, i used 6 cheap ass 10´s and a 2K on a single battery a couple of years ago just for fun, subs were some shitty cadence fxw 250 watts , worst subs i´ve ever tested and i still burped a 149.3 @ 42 hz with 900 clamped watts iirc , i had 3 subs left, 3 subs right and 2 6" aeros facing back, here´s a video of that if you want to try it out...

Fast forward to 0:58 so you can see the amplifier and box and then fast forward to 2:00 , a month later when i reached the 149.3 score i changed to 6 sony xplod 10´s and burped a 150.7 @ 43 hz lol
