GLN305 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 I have designed a wall for my Chevy Colorado Extended cab truck and before cutting any wood, I want to finalize the port location. As it sits now I have the port all the way at the top of the wall firing forward. How does that work in extended cab trucks? My other options are to move the port all the way to the bottom or to make a port with less port area in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liftedranger08 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 For the meter, port on the drivers side is the best. But for just being loud, on top facing forward would be fine.

I had a feeling that port on the driver's side would be the best for SPL, I think I may put it there....either spot is the same amount of work, might as well make it meter well too! Thanks!

Thanks! Wow..i have a ext cab colorado and plan on doing the same exact build.. How many cubes did your box end up being and where do you plan on putting extra batteries? Also id say port on top..cleaner imo. A guy over on coloradofans.com has a wall with 2x 18 bls..his ports on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLN305 Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Slow progress Too hot to work in garage, it was well over 110 degrees in there with the doors open and the fans blowing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 looks like a good start. moar pix Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

GLN305 Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) looks like a good start. moar pix When there is more to take pics of you will have them LOL. Expect some on Thursday...gotta drive 1/2 way to Houston tomorrow evening! I just realized that you are from Houston and I am driving there to trade a PS3 for a Hertz component set just like you are running. You wouldn't happen to be krouchchocolate on CA.com?

kfx450r Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hm..So r u going to finish it inside the truck or out? Always seemed harder to build a full wall outside of the truck..since the roof on the outside is like 2-3" lower than inside. Lookin good tho.

Lookin good tho. the whole wall can be built outside and slide in with ease. I have test fit the box without the front and it's fitting well.
