Here's what my team id doing in the Explorer that they are working on That's a sealed box obviously and inside it's much smaller than it looks as it's glassed over expanding foam leaving just enough room for the magent and a couple inches behind it for ventilation I'd try crossing it over at 250-300 pending where it comfortably meets your current frontstage. the 18 you have - i would lower the LPF to 63 or even 55 Quote 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 - Deep Orange Build log - Blowthrought with 4 18's http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/122600-4-18s-in-a-dodge-ram-team-sundown-russia/ Sundown Audio SAX125.2 - Sundown PA 10" Shok-wiring & RCA's XS Power D6500 Mechman 320A Sundown Audio Russia http://sundownaudio....dex.php?/index http://www.drive2.ru...ram/ram/skillz/ - more about my truck http://www.youtube.com/user/Gskillz81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tumminellon Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Ok so I threw a center console box together .75 cubes sealed and its like u can't even hear the Damn thing its got 300 rms goin to it I'm like wtf oh and it moves a lot so I know its gettin the power so I was thinkin of just makin a lil port like 2x4 and tuning it to like 45-50hz would that make it louder Quote TermLab 148.9 @ 39hz BURP 148.8 on music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Mac_1 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 .75 sealed is pretty big. That's about the recommended ported size. For sealed he recommends .3 cubes I think.
