So I was thinking...........6th order, now to understand it. QUESTIONS!!!

Ok guys, you all know me by now. My mind never stops. I was laying in bed last night and not being able to go to sleep because my mind wouldn't turn off. I had a thought!

First, think about those of you out there who have SUVs, like a tahoe, or expedition, etc. Even the smaller suvs. Some of you have 4 subs, 15's, 18's, etc, in there, subs up ported back. We've seen great numbers and great performance out of those types of setups, i.e. Steve's tahoe etc.

Now, thinking about my truck. It has a shell on it. I didn't want to do a cut through on it, and originally was going to try and do a 4th order and go through the back window. That's why I got the shell in the first place. But what if I did a set up like this.

Think about this. 4 15's cone up, ported through the rear. Now while making the enclosure, what if I made a shell around it, like duplicating the suv cabin essentially. So the top of the shell of the enclosure would go to the top of the rear window. The sides would be minimally as wide as the rear window, but even with the sides of the enclosure. Then the back of the shell would be however far back from the rear of the enclosure, let's just say 12+ inches.

Would this work the same way as an SUV environment? I know the shell would have to be reinforced, like with 2x4's etc. I get that. It's just an idea concept I'm thinking of and I'm wondering if it would work or not.

What do you guys think?

there is a guy around here who has done exactly what you are talking about, looking for pics.........please stand by.............

[Polar]

shit, when I need to find the pics I cant. Its a white Ford ranger. He takes the cap off and under it is the enclosure, with the amps mounted on the sides. Think he has 8 15's in it too.

Ok. Where did you find that at? Is it here somewhere, where I can see a build log of it, or was it somewhere else?

[Polar]

trying to find the pics of whats under the cap, it appears to be a blow through cut out though. Local guy in florida, still looking but work keeps getting in the damn way

It's all good. I appreciate it. I'm going to start drawing some stuff up and see what I come up with. Thanks

Im glad Im not the only one. Wife was jabbering off something at me last night as were watching tv in bed, Im staring off into outer space thinking about how Im going to run my rca's, if I should un-invert my subs and whether or not I should pull off my headliner and deaden the roof lol. Then it goes " Are you even listening to me?!"
