Very nice work. I too have an extended cab ranger so this gives me a few ideas! I wanted to stay mostly below the window line so I went with two 15s. I've been searching for a place to mount my Kinetik HC1800 and I think I just found it, behind the jumpseats! Thanks for postin the pics.

I just noticed these at my local Kicker dealer as well and naturally wondered how they'd perform as midbass drivers. Unfortunately upon closer inspection of T/S properties I don't think these would be suited too well for midbass reproduction. Fs of 53Hz is nice, but given the relatively high...

I'm building my system up for my Ford Ranger extended cab truck, and trying to figure out how to get the sound I'm looking for. I've decided on two 10" L5's in a ported box for the lows (tuned to 34 Hz) and Pioneer series-D 6x8" door speakers for their lush, warm sound while still being...

No audible difference but northjmp is right, if you lose one good chances are you'll lose the other simultaneously.

Nooo! Read the gain sticky. But yes 4 ohms it is.

If it's dual 2-ohm: You can wire both in parallel, which reduces the impedance by half - 1ohm You can wire both in series, which doubles the impedance - 4ohm You can wire both seperately, but only if you have a two channel amp, otherwise it's still just parallel. If I were you I would find a...

You're in luck, I have your solution. You simply need a small power inverter ($20 walmart) and an Airport Express. Plug the airport express into your aux in. It then provides a wifi "speaker" which shows up in iTunes automatically when you are within range of your car with your laptop...

Great idea with the plate/tubes. I might have to do just that. The sub in question is a pre-fabricated kicker box with two 10" L5s. They tune it high to get a nice loud peak around 64Hz, at the expense of a 38Hz F3, a bit high for my tastes. With this port change I should see a flatter...

I'm trying to reduce the frequency of a circular port in my sub, to extend my low frequency capbilities. It's currently 6-7/8" and I'll need to take it down to 4-7/8" to get the change I'm looking for. Is there an easy way to do this without major work? The port is 15" long, the other option...

Then I would advise you put your best work forwards if you're really trying to get some business doing this. I hate to sound cocky, but this particular genre of work is extremely saturated with guys just like you, so if you really want to do well you're going to need to stand out as...

If they can be had for the same price indeed it is a no brainer as t-money said, for the typical application. However sundowns are popular for the not-so-typcial installation, very low impedance systems, huge SPL machines, etc etc. Guys who replace amps or at least keep spares around (and...

I disagree. I wonder if you have seen the new pre-fabricated kicker boxes. I took the drivers out last night to re-wire them to 1-ohm and I was quite impressed with the box build quality. The box is built of solid 3/4" MDF and lined with a decent amount of polyfill. The joints are glued and...

I just got two 10" kicker L5's in the pre-fabbed ported kicker box and I'm trying to figure out if the porting is done optimally and if there are any adjustments I could make. I also want to see what a graph of this setup looks like in winISD or BBP. From the looks of it the enclosure peaks...

I just picked up TWO 10" L5's in a really nice pre-fabbed kicker box for a whopping $239 yesterday, so it sounds like you can do much better than that.

Not if you live in Murray Kentucky.
