Gearstix Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 After seeing ptcary's PT, I'm kinda thinking of doing something of the same sort. I have the whole bed of my truck but it has to blow through the window. example... pardon my kindergarten drawing skills. The plan was to buy two Mach 5 IXL-12.2.2s, and a Orion 2500D. That still is the plan but I've been thinkin The Orion and the subs will cost me just over $800. I was gunna get a box designed by Fallen, he says a tapped horn. What if I bought some cheaper-ish subs. Something like the Power Acoustik MOFO-15, PG Ryval, Alpine Type E/S/R/, Kicker Comps, Pioneers... etc. would like more than two and larger than 12". Only thing is, shipping. I'm in Canada and finding a place that will ship at a reasonable cost and stuff is hard. Mach 5 is in Canada, and also is the guy that I'm getting the 2500D from. I dunno. I'm looking for "SPLQ" I'd like something that would meter decent but not sound like ass. I do have a budget, and spending $800 of my monopoly money on subs and amp doesn't leave a whole lotta room for speakers or componenets or an amp for them, or any of the other things I need for my truck. I dunno i'm lost. 2005 Blazer Build... Mach 5 SPL-12s, Audiopipe AP3000.1D.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Don't have the port and the subs fire into a semi-enclosed space together unless you're careful about how it will function as a whole - effectively that's like making a series-tuned 6th order bandpass and could have some funny effects... especially if the sub/port phasing is a bit messed up. If you have heaps of room to play with a tapped horn or other horn/t-line could be really cool. It mightn't meter quite as high as other setups but it'll sound nice across a large spectrum of frequencies. Just be careful with the power... 10.x volts fo' life!

I wish I felt like doing a walkthrough, but I think it would weaken the cab and would it be practical for a daily driver ( space isn't an issue, as long as I fit in comfortably. I know a walkthrough would open up the box design door alot.. I understand what your saying about it turning it into a bandpass while it not really being intended to. 2005 Blazer Build...
