2001 Dodge RAM HELP me build a combo

[TiJO 10+ year member]

Hello guys I got an 01 dodge ram 2500 diesel. I think ALTERNATOR is not a problem since Im shure its big. Baterrie wize, I got 2 brand new ACDELCO.

Now, My truck is a ext cab. I want to PUT 1 10" or 12" sub. I am about 100% sold on the jbl 1500 watts amp. there like 350$ on ebay... plus my friend has one and heard it on 2 12" and its LOUD enough FOR me.

Now, I can buy my friend's JBL 12" subs 75$ EA! I know him enough to know there not broken..we know ea other since grade 1...

Would 1 12" be Good? I want to build a ported box since They sound better I heard. NOW the BIG PROBLEM. Building it to fit UNDER the back seat..

Will it sound any good?

here is a pic of my truck inside. PSits now repainted, new rocker cab corers ext..NO MORE RUST!)

So anyone have 1 box blueprint or something to fit under the backseat,? Mainly a single 12" sub

What about a cap,howmany farad? 2 or 4?

Thanks!

Joe

Hi, I could see getting this amp its cheap.. But is it any good? and for the subs I can get his 12" for 75ea and 50ea for his 10s.. his 10s are still new.LOL he doesnt care about his money cuz he has enough....

I know for a fact that only 1 JBL will make me HAPPY compared to nothing ATM.. LOL.

So the thing is.. is the amp you suggest any good? also..I need designs for a ported single 12" box. please? thanks

Yes, that amp will do its rated power. Depending on what model that sub is a ported box might not even be possible. What model is the sub? As for a box plan I would contact Buck he does them for a dollar.

i don't think they clip as bad as some people think..i ran my 2 8's at full tilt for 45 minutes, pulling ~800w of the rated 1000w. subs were barely even warm

They still do though. I've been around them quite a bit. I tell you my eD 9.1 is a hell of a lot cleaner and puts out the same or better power than a AP 1500.

i didn't say they put out clean power but I think some people assume it puts out extremely dirty power just because it's inexpensive

I have the exact cab and I can tell you a 12 will not fit under the rear seat. (firing forward anyway) Dont know if you will like the sound if you fire up or down. If you do fire up, prepare to hear the roof rattle more than the sub had 4 12vs (2 firing forward and 2 firing up) 500w rms each and actually heard the roof rattle louder than the bass.

I got 2 10's under there (sealed) but had to raise the seat ~ .75 inch. Ran 750w rms to each and was very happy until they melted down due to my bad. There should be two bolts on each leg of the seat and two clips at the top of the back. Once the bolts are out pull the legs forward and that should give ya room to push the back down and out. I drilled the stock holes out and went back with 5/8. I was still using the seat and wanted to make sure they stayed put. Also, the brackets that the legs of the rear seat bolt to will come out as well - they are not welded in.

As of now I have just pulled the rear seat out and am getting ready for a dual 18 or triple/quad 15 set up.

I have a single 15 in ~1.5 cuft sealed box that I am moving around to find the best position before building the big box. So far firing it under the driver seat and under the passenger seat seems to be the best spot.

Oh yea, if you start shaking your steering colum with a lot of bass (or the tilt) - beware that the wiring harness is too short and might have some problems with your headlights and insturment lights.

Hope that helps
