Will757 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Ive got a 87 Toyota extra cab pickup, and its time for me to get back into the car audio game. its been 2-3 years since i even built a system. The max space I'm gonna be able to get behind the seats is just short of 4 cubes. thats already accounting for the volume of the box itself. (not including port volume). Im not entirely sure how I would do a trapezoidal shape, but that would free up a little more space, as my seats are at an angle. Im 6'4", so moving my seats up isnt an option in this truck. I honestly have no idea what my best route here is. So many new products have come out since my last system build. I was thinking 4 8's, 2 10's, MAYBE 2 12's, or possibly even a 15. I know some subs are better suited to smaller enclosures than others, so any insight on that would be great too. Im also torn between whether to go with a sealed design, or sacrifice some box space and go ported. Ive never done a setup where space was much of an issue, so this is new to me. 1996 Buick Lesabre Limited - 2 Fi Q 12's, 5ft^3 slot ported box tuned to 30hz, MMATS 3000.1, JL G4500, 5.25" Polk momo comps, cheap 6x9's (rear fill), Pioneer DEH-P8300UB, Knu wiring throughout, Big 3 all 1/0, stock alt, stock batt, Deka 8a31 in the trunk ---Now gone to the younger brother, and all the equipment is sitting in my garage. 96 Buick Lesabre Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham0599 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'd try 2 10's ported personally. Have always had good results in this type of situation.

Will757 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 2 12's would have to be sealed. That 4 cubes is not including port volume. I has 2 12's in 5 cubes ported in my Buick and that was about perfect. I do like the idea of 4 8's though. I've never had any experience with them, so how much space would I need per sub? If this truck was a 2wd I'd be heavily considering a crawl through, or at least a blow through box design, but it's a 4x4 and the rusted bed is probably turning into a custom flatbed in the next year or 2 1996 Buick Lesabre Limited - 2 Fi Q 12's, 5ft^3 slot ported box tuned to 30hz, MMATS 3000.1, JL G4500, 5.25" Polk momo comps, cheap 6x9's (rear fill), Pioneer DEH-P8300UB, Knu wiring throughout, Big 3 all 1/0, stock alt, stock batt, Deka 8a31 in the trunk ---Now gone to the younger brother, and all the equipment is sitting in my garage. 96 Buick Lesabre Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will757 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I think I'm set on a quad 8" setup. They don't need much space, it would be responsive since I listen to a lot of metal, and it would still have the come area to move some air on the low lows. I want to go with a ported setup, but I'm not sure how I should orient the directions of everything. Should I have everything facing up, or everything facing forward, or maybe top facing subs with a side or forward facing port, front facing subs with a top/side port, etc. 1996 Buick Lesabre Limited - 2 Fi Q 12's, 5ft^3 slot ported box tuned to 30hz, MMATS 3000.1, JL G4500, 5.25" Polk momo comps, cheap 6x9's (rear fill), Pioneer DEH-P8300UB, Knu wiring throughout, Big 3 all 1/0, stock alt, stock batt, Deka 8a31 in the trunk ---Now gone to the younger brother, and all the equipment is sitting in my garage. 96 Buick Lesabre Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
