pk222 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) Hey guys, Ive got an 89 mustang hatchback and was wondering if anyone could recommend a box style and possibly be able to give me some plans or just advice or if you know the tuning frequency, I doubt anyone would know the tuning frequency but just thought maybe because its a really common car. Also, I'm trying to find out what subs to use. Right now I have some really old skool 10 in rockford fosgates in my mustang in a crappy sealed box with an audiobahn amp. It sounds decent but unless the bass notes are long the subs sound fuzzy which i'm not really worried about because I'm just barrowing the subs and giving them back soon. What would you guys recommend for a good daily budget subs? I have been looking into a few different companies but don't know much about them. some of them are the rockford fosgate t1, the shiva x, and the css sd12, and an fi q. I'm going for sound quality but I still want it loud and this is for my daily car. I know the shiva x and the css sd12 are supposed to be home audio subs but somone recommended them so I don't know because I have never heard them along with all the subs I mentioned What kind of sub or subs do you guys think would fit in to what im trying to get out of my build? thanks for any help in advance Edited March 5, 2008 by pk222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REVOK1NER Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 There a re quite a few people on here with mustangs so they should be able to help you. What size sub were you looking for? 1 or 2? And what is your budget?

And what is your budget? also how much space are u willing to lose in your vehicle? fox bodies are alot easier to work with than more modern stangs Quote -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk222 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Whatever anyone recommends for size and quantity but I would like to go with either 2 10s or 1 12. I was thinkin about 200-250 for the sub or subs which I know is a really tight budget but I have to get a new amp too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk222 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 thats what I've heard the the fox mustangs were easy to get loud in, I dont want to get rid of the rear seat, I know that would be the easiest rout but I have people with me too often for that.

IH8PunkRok Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 im thinkin one rf t1 12" or a 12" Q would work beautifully for u i would say two tens but really dont have enough money for that maybe a 4 cube box sub and port up in the trunk Quote -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REVOK1NER Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hmm well if you wanted to go with a 15", you can get a 15" RE SE for about $220 shipped brand new off of eBay. 15" RE Audio SE If you want a loud 12 you could go with a lot of options for that price, since I am looking at RE right now, a 12" RE SX goes for about $245 shipped on eBay. You have a lot of options though.

pk222 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 sounds good to me, I have always liked the fi q but have never heard one in person so I will probably go with that. What should I port the box to? and I don't really know how to make a slot ported box but I have a calculator for aero ports, would aeros be ok? also would it be ok if they weren't flared? if not can you point me in the right direction for finding out how to design a slot ported box? thanks for your help and quick replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk222 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 how do you guys think an 12 in *** trash would sound compared to the fi q? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwright27 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 theres a guy here, that has a 93 fox with 2 DC level 4 15's and a T3000 doing a 150 i believe. id aim for that. subs up and poty back is my opinion but subs up port up would prolly work to as long as they was on opposite ends from each other.
