J-Lane Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) OK, so from being on this site I have learned a whole lot from a lot of people but I have a question on an enclosure for my friends dad. He has a 4 Runner and he is going to get a sub from a friend of his. It's a Pioneer TS-W3001D4. I know that it is recommended that the sub face up and the port face the back of the vehicle however he uses the vinyl cover that hides his stuff in the cargo area. Should I still have the sub facing up? I'm sure its going to cause some problems if he has it pulled over the sub and he said he doesn't want to leave it open. Any suggestions?

C-Fizzy Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 With a small sub like that, you probably won't notice much difference, so running port/sub back will be fine.

J-Lane Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Thanks to all of you for the help. Now I have one more question but I'm pretty sure I know the answer. He plans on using this Pioneer TS-W3001D4 for a while and then upgrade to something like an Fi Q12. He doesn't want to have to have a new box made so he wants a box that he can use the Pioneer in and then switch to the Fi later. Pioneer recommends .5 - 1 cu. ft. but Fi recommends 1.8 - 2.5 cu. ft. Is there any way the Pioneer would sound OK in a box designed to the Fi specs? I know it probably would sound like crap but he wanted me to check if its possible. Thanks in advance for the help.

C-Fizzy Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) The recommendation for the pioneer has GOT to be for a sealed enclosure. Build a box around 2 cubes after displacement. Should sound good for both. Edited December 9, 2010 by C-Fizzy Quote under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

J-Lane Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 OK, so just an update. I just finished the box. I think it turned out OK but I don't care much for how the carpet turned out. It's 2 cu. ft. after displacement tuned to 31 Hz. I also did 45's in the port and it's 28 square inches so there shouldn't be any port noise. I won't be able to hear it till this weekend but hopefully it will sound OK. I'm not a fan of Pioneer but maybe it will surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
