D-train-13k Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 i had totaled my car in april and had been givin my grandfathers truck ext. cab, as a replacement until i could buy another car. btw i had two kenwood w3011, nothing special, in a 4 cube ported box. originally it loaded off the trunk on my other car. i was probly hitting low 43 db, rough guess. my stepdad says that im not allowed to remove the back seats so its almost impossible to load off of anything in the truck. a buddy of mine said a sixth order bandpass system may do the trick to giving it something to load off of with the port facing the window. Is this a difficult system to tune? ive heard that if this system isnt tuned correctly it can screw up the speakers pretty bad. also if any other boxes or setups may help bring the subs back to their old potential let me know, its frustrating hearing them now in comparison to how they used to sound. thanks alot Quote The IrishmanCheck out my build hereXL 4th order wall build logIn Progress:alpine cda HU4th order Bandpass2xl 15's1- ab 400.1 (gonna be two hopefully)4- Crescendo 8's2- xts crecendo supertweeters 2 sq super tweetsMb quart 4.125Mechman 270a alt1- xs D27003- xs XP3000 4- odessey pc1700seller feed back threadhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/136418-d-train-13k/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewer_brewer Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 bandbass boxes are usually one note wonders. you have to know alot about bandpass in order to build one that will hit all frequencies pretty good. in trucks though, i personally like downfiring setups. they sound great.

brewer_brewer Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 ^^^^oh. yeah it only works if you have room to space the sub off of the floor. like 3-6 inches and the sub fires down towards the floor.

D-train-13k Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 dang... that sucks. maybe if i fold the seats up i could do it. do the ports and subs fire down? i really dont feel like making a new box lol. and any ideas how i would elevate it? i cant drill any holes in the truck. so mounting is gonna be difficult. i swear my step dad makes this thing almost impossible Quote The IrishmanCheck out my build hereXL 4th order wall build logIn Progress:alpine cda HU4th order Bandpass2xl 15's1- ab 400.1 (gonna be two hopefully)4- Crescendo 8's2- xts crecendo supertweeters 2 sq super tweetsMb quart 4.125Mechman 270a alt1- xs D27003- xs XP3000 4- odessey pc1700seller feed back threadhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/136418-d-train-13k/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewer_brewer Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 you can just mount some 2x4's to the face of the box that points towards the floor so it rests on the 2x4's. yea. you can face the port down with the sub. or you can face it up, to the side, towards the back, towards the front. just whatever sounds best in your situation.

sri3850341 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 i'd have to disagree with the one note wonder thing, contrary to belief a 4rth order is very musical and flat response i very wide if built/designed properly... mine is flat from 30-90 which in my opinion is pretty broad and it still plays a little lower and higher Quote 07 mote carlo.. deh-p800prs hu-cdt gold 6.5's-cdt 6x9 2 ways-mcintosh mc431m(mids/highs) bxi2608,2 10w7's in 4rth order(designed by pete k)ported into cabin via armrest cutout dc power 260 amp alt-missing link module (15.4v)kicker 1/0 kit deka intimidator under hood metered 141.0 @ 32hz windows down @ kick,termlab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
