seal off the top of the box, basically making it a true wall instead of just a huge box.
that guy only hit 145 with 4 w7s? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Yep.. seal off the top, and the sides if they need it to make it a true wall. You will gain db's.

At 25hz //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

thats lower than low, but why would you tune a box to 25hz?

expanding foam will be your best friend

Its a bass knob not bass 'boost' knob, just leave it unplugged, use the sub setting on the hu to adjust the subwoofer output

The sub setting on the hu is also a boost. Don't use it. Always try to keep your settings everywhere as flat as possible. Don't turn your hu to minus anything either. Going + or - will distort or clip your signal.

Im not talking about the equalizer, Im talking about the actual output setting for the subwoofer. i.e.....alpine decks, click in the knob and go to subwoofer. You want that turned all the way up when you set the gain //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I have an alpine deck. I always thought that setting was a boost, since it goes from 0 to +15.

Youll just be running the gain up way higher since your input voltage will be much lower, +15 on this setting is not going to distort the signal going to the subwoofer amplifier.

I always thought it was weird. If I left everything flat, and even if I put the gain up all the way on my 3000 watt amp, my 200 watt subs (they're just temp til thursday when I get my recones) would hardly bump. But when I turn on the MX setting, they would sound normal. Now I guess I'll turn off MX and turn the subwoofer setting to 15, and control the gain from there. Thx, I could never understand my Alpine deck.

The box isn't tuned to 25hz, I think it's actually tuned to like 35hz. The reason he hits that low is because his resonant cab frequency peaks at 25hz, which kind of sucks because he's not going to get much louder than a 145 unless he upgrades subs. Hold on a second and I'll get pictures of the truck.

Btw, he spent $8,000 on the whole system.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

yes please get pictures! i've been wanting to see pictures of a blowthrough

 

[bigbud747 10+ year member]

Here ya go.

 

[pd8731]

Let's see... capacitors, different sized mids in the doors, JL equipment, subs facing each other for MAXIMUM CANCELLATION, mids in a baffle facing towards the back of the seats, and he spent 8K on all of it...

Your friend may be only 145 db on the TL, but he's 194 deebeez on the Martard Meter 5000.

I'm pretty sure that with 8,000 dollars, I would get something GOOD.

LOVE the ranger man.... i drive one myself so i'm kinda biased towards them...

i know he lost a lot of leg room, but it's always worth it in the end...

looking forward to numbers... i can almost guarantee it will be loudest if you run with both windows down and the mic in the kick. my ranger loses a good 4-6dbs sealed up on the dash... although i've never had a box in there with the ports facing forward AND in the center. your friend will learn that trucks are very sensitive to sub/port placement...

lol i'm sry man but that design sux.

i'm looking for a blow through in a regular cab anyway
