1976 Silverado Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 well i currently have 4 kicker cvrs and plan on selling them and buy either 2 12'' level 3 dc subs or a 15'' dc level 4xl not sure which would be better but which way should i have the port firing?.. because the box would be like 1-2 inches away from the backseat.. so i was thinking about it firing up toward the ceiling but would that be effective and how would i create the box?

Berto Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'm looking at getting a single cab truck soon so I'm sort of planning ahead, and personally I think a blow-through would be best, but I don't know if you'll be willing to cut your truck up a bit for a bigger sub box.

I am really set on either 2 12's or a solid 15'' and dont know on which way to have the port face.. i heard you should have at least 5 inches between port and anything it will hit? not sure if that is currect though.

00_XJ Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Think about external ports yet? I would imagine that'd be the easiest route but I don't know how much room you're playing with.

I would imagine that'd be the easiest route but I don't know how much room you're playing with. the length i have is 61'' the bottom is 11.5'' the top would be 7.5'' and thats at 13.5'' high.. (side looks liek a triangle) not sure if you know what i mean hope you guys understand though?

It was worth a try lol....yeah, I read that somewhere too but I'm not sure how much space you would need either, but since you have a single cab I highly doubt that you would have enough room if you face the port towards your seat unless you have bucket seats and you do the two 12's then you could do a center port, but if not then try the upward port or like the other post said (the one after my first one) try external ports.

I know what you mean, and that just reminded me of amost of the pre fab truck boxes and I just wanted to throw if out there so here it goes, the pre fab box I saw was a buddy of mine's kicker box and his box had the port coming out of the side, so that's another option.

Well both call for 3 cubic feet and that's roughly what you have before displacement or everything, let me see what I can do.
