Marlo Stanfield Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'd say build something in the neighborhood of - 2.75-3ft3 @ 34hz w/ 40-45in^2 of port. For a BL 12 off of that amp, something like that should be ideal. Idk what direction you want to have the woofer/port be, since idk what works best in that truck.

Marlo Stanfield Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Invert the woofer maybe depending on what direction the woofer is firing and you should pick up like .12-.2ft3 and maybe look into a couple 3" aeros instead... Also you could just pick up some straight 4" PVC from like Home Depot and make a smaller flare yourself that would fit better. It's not that difficult to flare PVC yourself as long as you're careful and take your time, plus if you fuck it up it's not that expensive lol. Quote 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer...

Steph3n1 Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 X muthafuc*in 2!!!!!!!!!!! Just imagine having a SUV! So easy! haha i know thats why i think there should b a single cab class. i know right 90 degree angles vs weird jacked up boxes that conform to the space we got just so we can get enough volume. not to mention when the windows are rolled up you get insane impedance rise Quote 2005 Ford Ranger Reg cab Build in Progress T3 Audio T2000 12 ARC SE4000 Stinger HPM 1/0 Wire DC power 270xp Batts: 1 Redtop up front and a Stinger SPP2250 in the back Hopes to be in and around a 150....weel see my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/steph3n1 Team DBs (Driven By sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always wondered why it was louder with the windows down,... I always asked but no-one ever answered "correctly". But yea us single-cabers have it tough, boxes have to look like origami at times. Edit: Guess I should stop dumping , ...On-Topic: Here is a link to a site I just found for flaring PVC. Link Double-Edit: Also fyi, I sold the HDC3, to tall for a single-cab. Maybe go with RD :hairtrick: . Edited January 6, 2010 by iTech Quote My Official Feedback Thread PSN - tech2332 Games for PS3: Killzone 2, BattleField: Bad Company 2! Add me to play either!
