2 10" box build for Dodge 1500

[bigbud747 10+ year member]

So, went and played around on a Term Lab this afternoon and here's some results:

Windshield 40 hz: 139.4 dB

Windshield 24 hz: 138.8 dB

Kick panel 40 hz: 139.6 dB

Kick panel 23 hz: 139.5 dB

So far i'm very impressed at the low end these things have. Still want a better score so i'm going to build another box (maybe have this one subs behind drivers seat and port firing passenger side toward the top of the box instead of toward the bottom like this box was). I would like some input thought on box designs (volume, tuning, port area). I would like to put up a 142 or over, but still be able to play most music and not be a burp box. However, i do LOOOOVE the lows that this thing produces.

Numbers didn't satisfy me enough, so i built another box. This one is 2.5 cubes with 42 sq in of port tuned to 38 hz. There is a big difference in how it sounds (better SQ), and it is noticeably louder in this box. Just because of how it loads in my truck, with the passenger side sealed off, it still kills all the way down to 24 hz. Going to go get it metered next week sometime. Don't think i'm going to do anything to this box as far as covering it goes. Video is still processing so it will be a while before there's a video of this up.

What sort of depth do you have at the top and bottom of the box? Just curious.

 

[bigbud747 10+ year member]

5.5 at the top and 8.5 at the bottom (the first box was 9, but wanted it just a little smaller on this one). It's 54" wide and 20" tall.

And i can stilll fold up the center console, and both seats go all the way back.

nice numbers bro. flexes that truck awesome for that tuning

I'm very pleased with this setup. And for only getting about 1000 watts to the both, i think they are doing pretty good. I wish i had the money for a new alternator though. battery bank alone doesn't cut it for lots of demos in a row.

Very nice man. Glad you got your numbers!! Ever wonder how Skars or SD would produce in this box ??

 

[bigbud747 10+ year member]

Yeah, i've been wanting some SA's, but right now don't have the money, even if i sold these. I'm happy with these DD's, so i'll probably keep them in until i come into some money. For entry level subs, these things pound.

Thanks.

Video with the new box. Much louder and tons more flex. Still can't believe what these 1510's are capable of. Fixed my voltage issue, so instead of dropping to 11.5, it's now only dropping to 12.8.
