Triticum Agricolam Posted September 25, 2015 Report Posted September 25, 2015 .... Is it possible that one of these subwoofers in a ported box would outperform two of them within the constraints that I have to work with? ... A single ported sub is going to sound different than two sealed. It's not as simple as "which one will perform better". On lower notes, close to the ported boxes tuning frequency, the port sub will be significantly louder than two sealed subs. However, as you rise in frequency, away from the ported box's tuning, the two sealed boxes will catch up and surpass what the single ported sub can do. What this is going to result in is the sealed subs frequency response will be flatter, whereas the ported sub's frequency response will most likely be rising on the low end, just how much rise there is will depend on the specs for the box.

soffhands Posted September 25, 2015 Report Posted September 25, 2015 you can get 3 cuft just need to raise back seat a few inches i did in a 05 F150 i got 3 cuft 4 soundqubed eights 4 inch port tuned to 40hz on a soundqubed 4500
fergie Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Posted September 25, 2015 1 sub ported? Yes, unless I am able to raise the rear seat I don't have enough room to build a ported box for 2 woofers, but if I stay sealed then I can use both. I would hate to use only one of them, I mean then I feel it would just be lonely without his friend. haha

I see what your saying, this sounds like it could turn into a fun little project! My wife probably won't be happy about the new hobby... I will probably start experimenting next spring, winter is no fun in Iowa in a garage with no heat. burr

Is that forward or up firing? I am probably going to down firing, but I can see how you can get a little more out of either one of those. I think the 00-03 is a little shallower for the forward and aft dimensions than the 04-08.
