SMD/LVL 5 Warhorse F150. 10/18 new XS POWER

[CJ18]

now it is so the port is over my center console, i have done every box you can imagine tho, actual wall, under the window line, single sub, sub forward port back, everything up, subs up port forward, and everything in between

Gotcha I think I am going to build a box that I can try both ways everything up and forward.

I feel you on the boxes. I threw away a construction dumpster full of boxes this spring.

I would have a box that is about 12.5-13.25 after all displacement becuase of the power you have those subs do fine in "regular" sized enclosure with the "rms" power its when you get into higher power that the box needs to be smaller and have a good size port about 15.5-17 sq inch of port per cube

with pick ups sub and port up is usually best for daily i like port in the middle

[loganberry]

if anything i would do a port in the middle one, it acts as its own bracing somewhat and its more usable, i have the 3 piece rear window (not sure if you do) and that rattles very bad when everything is up, when everything is forward there is no rattle and it sounds better i think..just my opinion tho

a lot depends what your going for, personaly i do port on pass side for music and driver side for spl, and as far as spl depends where your metering dash kick headrest ect either way id build a box sub up port up and see how that dose with a box like that you should be able to try 4 ways with it ( subs up port on drive flip it and get subs up port on pass same for forward firing )

looks nice madvibes! old style f150's meter better than 04-08 style, i believe its cause it is more rounded inside but im not 100% certain as to why

I really appreciate all of the help guys! It looks like I will be building 1 box. and testing 4 possible configurations.

1) subs up port up driver side

2) subs up port up passenger side

3) subs forward port forward driver side

4 subs forward port forward passenger side

Once I recover from this part of the build I will get onto building this next box and post pictures and all results as I go.

Only thing left is I need help understanding how to setup my O Scope to set my gains. I have an HPS10

no port in middle?

honestly, i would do subs forward port forward, and seal the box off so that nothing travels behind it.
