MRriley96SS Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I recently purchased a RE MT 18 (D4) and it will be going in my 99 Explorer Sport. I am really wanting to build the enclosure myself but I'm looking for a little advice on what will be the best set-up. Of course I woud like to do decent numbers but I'm more concerned with loud/deep bass so I would prefer the eclosure tuned to the low 30s. It will be pushed by a Hifonic Collosus II @ 2ohms (3200). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please tell me what you think: Option #1 Sub up port to the rear (slot) Option #2 Sub up/ports ( 2 6" auro ports) to the rear Option #3 Sub up/port up 1996 DCM Impala SS (2) JL 13W7s (2) 1000/1s (1) 450/4 1971 Caprice 406 SBC SAZ-4500D (2) Fi BTL 18s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyBoy Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 do option number 2 and tune it from 30-32hz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRriley96SS Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 do option number 2 and tune it from 30-32hz. Thanks man. I was looking at buying the ports but they are expensive and considering I plan on upgrading to (2) 18s by summers end, it may be better if I used option (1) and wait until I upgrade to two subs. Will tuning the box that low make decent number's? Or do I need to tune it higher between 35-40 hz in order to do good on the TL? 1996 DCM Impala SS (2) JL 13W7s (2) 1000/1s (1) 450/4 1971 Caprice 406 SBC SAZ-4500D (2) Fi BTL 18s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 oopsss i meant #1. sorry. tuning 35+ will in turn give you good numbers, but lower tuning will make it louder at lower frequencies (which is what an 18 is good for) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
