I built a custom under seat box for the passenger side of my Ram 1500 quad cab. Measured volume comes out to approximately 0.60 cu ft. I will be running it with a Rockford Fosgate R500X1D amp. *Should I add some polyfill to the box or not? All this is running off the factory head unit for now...

Thanks! I have some work to do.

Ah. Any suggestions on a replacement sub that won't break the bank? I may throw this pb sub in my wife's car then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I own a 2011 Ram 1500 quad cab. Decided to add a sub to the factory system going with a budget type deal. So, I built a fiberglass/wood top enclosure that fits under the back passenger seat. I Went with a Powerbass L-104D sub, and an Alpine MRX-M50 (500 watts @ 2ohm). Factory head unit...

And what would a beefier sub be?

I'm leaning towards no leaks. Lined the entire inside with automotive undercoating. Only leak spot could be around the woofer itself, but it has a good rubber gasket.

Whenever my subs cone has alot of excursion, I'm getting a slap or a tapping sound from the cone. It is a Powerbass L-104D in a sealed enclosure with an Alpine MRX-M50 amp running it. Also using a AudioControl LC2i LOC. Gain is half way up (nom), LP is set a hair below 80 Hz, subsonic at 25...

All fixed up now. Fix is in the first post!! Thanks to everyone who replied and has helped me on here. Can't imagine a better sub. If there is, I'd like to know whats better about it. This things is nutz!!

Anybody think this could be an issue with a weak signal to the amp? I just got off the phone with a local car audio shop and they said they just installed a system in a 2012 ram 1500, and the volume wasn';t there with sat radio or ipod. he said the voltage from the factory head unit was too...

LP is around 60 Hz, subsonic is off, just a small amoutn of bass boost on the amp set to listening preference. LP any higher causes resonance. The gain on the LOC and the amp is all the way up. With a cd, the remote gain control knob is about half way. With sirius and mp3's, it is all the...

Ok, so maybe the sub itself could be better. However, i am happy with how hard it hits when it actually hits. It vibrates my clothes and my hair. I think the Alpine amp is a winner though. 500 watts rms should be plenty at 2 ohms. My issue to solve is: bass response is gone with Sirius...

Flex, I think its more of a signal issue than anything else. Thumps good enough for me with a cd in, doesn't thump at all with sirius radio or mp3's on a cd.

I'm looking into the re-Q and also the AudioControl LC-2i with accubass. I assume these items would take the place of my LOC thus allowing me to use it only for the sub? I suppose I could try this, but scared of wasting more money for no results. I'm a sirius radio junkie, so I'm looking to...

The re-Q that was suggested has peaked my interest. I am running the 4 door speakers and 2 dash speakers off my head unit. They do just fine with bass. I'm tapping into my rear speaker leads with the LOC for the sub. So where and how would this re-Q box help me?

Will that also fix the issue with no bass out of it with Sirius radio? Truth be told, my 6x9's kick this 10" subs butt with sirius radio going. Its almost funny, my 6x9's thump good with Sirius playing, but the 10 is asleep.
