Jared420 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 My dad built a downfiring box for his 90 ex-cab and it sounds pretty good. yea i think im gonna try a downfire box first and if it sounds bad ill build somethin different i guess... im still just tryin to decide what to get for subs because price is a factor. im lookin at 12'' cvrs, mtx 4500 or jackhammers, and one of my friends is thinking about upgrading and selling me his 2 12'' jl w3v2 dvc 4 ohm. haha hope he decides to upgrade cuz id like to get my hands on those w3s Quote 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathancullen89 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 different brands mixing together doesnt matter, and those kenwood subs suck. my friend had some in his cavy and best buy installed them, they blew. he took them back and they said that they where not supposed to be in a ported box because of low xmax or something. and best buy installed it lol. cvr's are going to get loud, IMO dont sound the best. i liked the rockford p2 12" subs i had. check out woofersetc.com, they usually have some good deals on memphis subs or something else.

aquill1 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) How big can you make the box, as far as cu ft. per chamber? The one's I could find online to buy have somewhere between .7 per chamber and nearly 1 cu. ft Edited April 1, 2008 by aquill1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacomabanga1986 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 i got 2 mtx 5500 15's ina down fire box below window line in my truck, i think its 4 cubes and it slams hard, ppl dont kno wtf is in it, i like downfire more cause it reminds me of how a car would act if the subs was faceing back, just make sure they are around 3'' off the ground if u build ur own box or the sub will hit the floor, my box has 4 chambers in it, 2 lil ones on the ends so i can run my wires threw and use my 6&1/2's as rear speakers, and 2 in the middle sealed devided wit the 15's in it, just make sure the deeper the box the deeper the sound, i found that out the hard way, but to big of a box and they sound like shit, and my buddy kevin put 2 of the pioneer shallow 12's ina lincon truck powered wit a mtx1501d and that shit was loud and hit mad lows, ied do the down fire it saves space and would be a bitch for someone to steal my subs, its gunna take me bout 6hrs just to change mine out to my mtx 8000's, and it gives a more cleaner look to, but if i was u ied make a trim piece wit a grill over were the sub sets off the ground so nothin goes back there and gets beat all to hell by the speakers, hope this has helped u in ur jorney on down fire sealed boxs, i was wantin to do a ported down fire but doesnt make much sence, mtx has some prebuilt for suv's to go behind the 3rd seat, but anywho thats my $.02 Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPL2K Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Down fire boxes sound the best and get loud in extended cab chevy's but you are limited on mounting depth. If you fire them up you can go with a deeper sub. I usually do 1 upfire 12 on the driver side with the port firing out the passenger end.
