Ascendant Audio Smd 18" Blowthough In Standard Cab S10

Yeah i will have to double up on the mdf and figure out the tuning aspect of it. So all you guys think i only need a single 200+ alt and two powermaster xs 3100 batts to power a rockford t40001bd?

if your box has to be designed like that, i think you should consider making it a bandpass box.

looks to me like a ported box that you slot loaded. Other than the wood thickness being a possible issue.

From what I have heard and tried on slot loaded boxes the slot opening should be 1/2 the woofer dia. as a starting point. SO you would be 9". i would be worried about choking it out.

After all of the posts and thoughts, how does it sound?

thats actually not his box. thats from a full size chevy.

why not just build a regular blowthrough?

that's a pretty cool design..just don't think it would work for the sub like they said.

Do you guys think it would be for the best just to go with a 18" Fi Bl fully loaded? The reason i dont want a regular blowthough is because they are huge. It does look like i would have to make the slot a bit bigger like 6 inches... With this sub i would now go with a rockford t10001bd amp with 0 gauge and 2 batts. Should i use a high output alternator? I dont think i would need one...

I was reading fi website and they say by fully loading their subwoofers they can get an extra 200-500 rms. So i may go with a sundown SAZ-1500D and wire it at 1 ohm. Also if i get a couple powermaster batts do i have to get a high output alternator? I think the batteries would be enough cause 1500 watts isnt much. Any help is appreciated cause im trying to get this system done. Thks

I would go all out bud! That setup dont seem to be able to work at is optimum level but I would do something like this.

Also for 3k to 4k rms you could get away with 2 medium size batteries and one 200amp alt. But if your plannin on a BTL I would get the sundown 3k.. It will really make that sub shine:D

[Bumpindemlowzz]

Im afraid to cut a huge hole in the truck!! Someone answer my previous question with the sundown saz1500d. DO I HAVE TO GET A HIGH OUTPUT ALTERNATOR. I'm already ordering a BIG Powermaster bat. A few said that the amp is really efficient and doesnt draw too much power.

[jonathancullen89]

it depends.... if your stock alternator is really low like a 60 amp yes you should get a new alt. if your alt puts out a decent amount of power and has enought to power to keep up and charge ur batts you should be fine. to many what ifs
