Brick Tamland Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 First off, amazing site... I love going into stereo shops, listening to the sales people say "blah,blah,blah" and then I say "on steve meade's site that is not what they suggest" and the entire conversation changes... Anyways, to my current situation: I am a 30+ bass head. I thought I would outgrow it, but NO. So, I have purchased the following two items, and I am getting ready to build my first box: 15 inch Kaption Sub: http://www.kaptionaudio.com/manuals/SPLManual.pdf Mono Block Kaption Amp: http://www.kaptionaudio.com/manuals/KaptionD-Class.pdf I am putting these in an 08 Tahoe. I have taken out the 3rd row seating (as I want to still be able to use the space). I am looking for a ported box, tuned to between 33hz or 34hz. I believe firing the sub up and having the port facing backwards is the best option. I guess I am looking for some advice as to size and shape of the box. There is thiele information in the pdf. Any help you can provide me would be fantastic. Thanks in advance. Quote

Height wise, maybe 20 inches tall max. width, either max half of the width. I will take some measurements and try to get back. There were dimensions in the pdf, but I am not sure if they help. I am looking for volume, but clarity. I like the deep notes, but I listen to a lot of rap with some modern rock (audioslave etc...) Edited June 4, 2008 by Brick Tamland Quote
