I think it would make more sense from the cone, technically. I wonder if time alignment even matters if you have enough bass to flex your doors, like there's no telling where your speaker actually is at any given time. I've done TA on my systems before but the way I listen to music seemed to...

I would do what Sundown recommends.

And I'd keep your signal wires paths and power wire paths apart, even with RCA shielding, because the power wires can basically radiate energy into your RCA wires if too close and cause signal noise issues. Just a good practice to have IMO.

You just gotta work at it and develop your own style. I never really made pretty systems for myself, just loud ones, because my vehicle was like a rolling test lab. I usually put amps under a false floor, so nobody could see my ugly wiring. Absolutely make sure it's safe and fused and...

Does anyone make kick pods for that truck for 6.5's? Just a thought. I only like in front of me sound for mids and highs and I've had my front tweeter and 6.5 like 12" apart and it still sounded good, both in the door. Like as long as your tweeters at least reflect sound to you or like aren't...

Study acoustic lobing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_lobing Example:

Go get some shitty wood or cardboard or something and figure out what the max is, play around with different dimensions to see what the max cubic footage is you can fit. So, like make a cardboard box that simulates the biggest sub box you can fit and make sure it's all solid angles and not like...

So like with that Fs of those in low 40's, if you tune to like 35 and your vehicle peaks higher than that, you're gonna get a really hard peak on higher notes and maybe not be as well balanced on lows. That's why I would tuned lower for more musicality to avoid potential brutal peaks at higher...

I would face it all rear if it fits and clears, fire ports and subs back towards the trunk lid. I'd do their exact box recommendations but tune lower for my personal tastes, like 32 hz. I've designed for v1 U's before. Those 12's have a surprisingly high Fs for the design styles I've tended...

Post up a link to sub manufacturer web page and what vehicle you have and where the box is going and just let me crunch it in my head. You may want to start a thread on wood but usually birch is a great option, there's just several different kinds, idk specifically about Russian birch. If you...

I did specifically do that and would, but I'm sick. Best I can do is advise like I do now.

Yes haha ok that's what I thought you meant. Idk if I'm a master just designed a lot, definitely not officially trained or anything lol, but thanks.
