Clif Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Posted February 20, 2008 in the ballpark i'd say. my 15's take up 16 cubes. tho i hear if you have more power on tap, it's better to do a smaller enclosure. but might see half a decibel gain. it'll vary. if you got the plans i guess just keep rollin with em Nope no plans yet, thats what im thinking about now. In the kicker manual they say 3-5 cu ft per sub. 3 x 15.5” port, 22” long for each sub. in the manual they say if it is a bigger enclosure then you can send more power to it? another question is if i need 3x15.5" port for one, should i do 6x31" for 4 subs? i have no idea when it comes to vented enclosure cause i usualy do sealed... let me knows... 03 Trailblazer EXT LT In Dash Rear Flip Down Polk Audio Font & Rear Stage Hifonics Zeus 4 Chan Amp Hifonics Brutus Mono Amp 12" Rockford Fosgate Power HX2 T-Line tuned to 45hz 18"BTL T-line @31Hz (9 weeks pregnant)

KickerAudio21 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 I have a blazer, so same vehicle basically.... If i were you, i'd do subs on top, all countersunk with double layer of wood (baffle, or w/e u call it).... ports on back bottom, or percision ports if you want.... I would make the box form around the wheel humps and then make a cover piece to put on the back by the tail gate so it looks seamless (maybe throw in a LED kicker logo built in the cover peice). I would then put the amps in the front of the box (behind drivers seats or rear seats depending on if u use back seats or if box will be on top of them)... Maybe flush the amps up in the box... AND hell yeah it's cold.... -50 windchill walking to class this morning.... I'm saving my 18" fi build for spring break in a few weeks so i can go home and use my heated garage... ------------------------------------------------- 1st place circuit city car/spl show (maplewood,MN) 2006 146.6 dB's with 2 12" L7 and 1606d brutus

You live close to the St. Cloud area or out of state? also i want to keep my back seat so everything will go behind it. I've done subs back port back, subs up port up, subs up port forward, and subs up port back and subs up port back is the loudest in my vehicle. as much as i wanted to do some fiberglassing in this build i think i just might go with subs facing up and the port in the back with the amps mounted somewhere....... 03 Trailblazer EXT LT In Dash Rear Flip Down Polk Audio Font & Rear Stage Hifonics Zeus 4 Chan Amp Hifonics Brutus Mono Amp 12" Rockford Fosgate Power HX2 T-Line tuned to 45hz 18"BTL T-line @31Hz (9 weeks pregnant)

Clif Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Posted April 6, 2008 i think i should update this.... my long build just got a lil longer. Was out with a bunch of buddys out on a mudding trail and i was just had balls to the walls.... Well when ya got an engine with 265,000 miles on it you never know whats going to happen... So i had her in four by, and was going to go threw this huge mud pit well i gave her hell had it in second gear so it had some power yet the tires would be free spinning, and i made it threw and it was some hella fun and would do it again. i pull off to the side and let the truck take a rest and then i hear it... A knocking coming from the rear of the engine, im assuming its rod bearings so yea, im going to take it apart one of these days and fix her so this build is on holllllddddd...... lame 03 Trailblazer EXT LT In Dash Rear Flip Down Polk Audio Font & Rear Stage Hifonics Zeus 4 Chan Amp Hifonics Brutus Mono Amp 12" Rockford Fosgate Power HX2 T-Line tuned to 45hz 18"BTL T-line @31Hz (9 weeks pregnant)
