geekepunk Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 Guess this kind of relates to the other thread about subwoofer aiming. I've got an '00 S10 and I am wondering what the best way might be to aim the port and subs. Right now I built a box with the subs foward and the port back. It's loud but for the next enclosure I would have to do subs up/port up. This wouldn't cause any noise/cascellation issues or anything right? I heard from someone that these trucks have cancellation issues sometimes. I would like to figure out the BEST way to do it. Thanks!
stratusrt01 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 Subs forward, ports up seems to work pretty good. I built an SQ system for a guy and went with ports down, subs down firing into the floor, and it was the best sounding bass I've heard out of a truck, but it was louder subs forward, ports up.
geekepunk Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Posted August 22, 2006 Cool, right on. I have a temporary box that I threw together for my 12w3's that is 4.3 cf ported to 34hz. Two slot ports on top, subs facing foward behind each seat. It sounds great and they seem to be much much louder in this little pickup than in my car. However, I plan to change out the subs and amps for something bigger. The only way I can do a good configuration is if I mount the amps behind the seats and have the port and subs both on top. Alot of the installs I've seen are like that so I guess I'll leave it at that.
focalrock4life Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 ive got an 00 ext cab s10 and my box has the woofer firing twords the grounds and the port firing out the side twords that little jump seat thing..if you know what i mean..best sounding bass i have heard :^
