TSparks Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 2001 Dodge 1500 Single Cab Shortbed. I am trying to get an idea of what I should do. I definitely want some subs behind me, and would prefer 12's for when we are out of the truck we can still here the base. Most of the boxes I have seen for 12's are to big to fit in the area and have maybe 1.2' from the back of the cab to where my seats at now. Is there anyway possible I could get some "short travel" 12's or would I have to get 10's? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. you could get shallow mount subs, but they arent very good in comparison to their regular counterparts and they cost more. id see about trying to fit a ported box with a sundown sa-8 back there. Or you could always do a blow through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcal colby Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 i have a dodge ram 1500 from 2005... standard cab. shortbed. if the space is similar, you can def fit some full size subs back there. just have to be a bit creative. I have simple wedged box designs on my computer that will allow JL 10w3v3 subs to fit. im sure many other things will work too. currently i have two 12" pioneer premier shallow mount subs back there... but since most shallow subs still require alot of volume just find a way to fit a full size. dont settle for shallow mounts unless you have to.

casemods Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 won't more wattage make up for the shallow mounts lack of correct box space? Quote i suck men dry...email me for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal colby Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 won't more wattage make up for the shallow mounts lack of correct box space? i think you have to consider the resonant frequncy of box. even though the subs will make the same excursion you are still playing into a differnet sized box. I own two of the same subs and i have them in two differnt enclosures. I can definatley tell a difference in their sound no matter the wattage i throw at them.. and ive also done individual tests so they wer not recieving the same power at the same time to prove that it was independent of wattage.
