Hi all been a while.
I have a 2014 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab. Currently I have a cheapo pre-fab 1 cuft sealed box with two Fosgate Punch 10" shallow mount woofers. Running around 800 watts RMS to the pair, down firing. This thing:
The bass is very peaky around 100hz with almost no low end extension, it sounds just like the box is too small for subs. I've been messing with amp / eq setting for a year now and just can't get the sound I want. I want to get low.
I came across a better quality, ported sub box here:
https://www.soundoffaudio.com/ported-dual-sub-box-2005-2016-frontier-crew/
It is advertised as also being 1 cuft, ported to 39hz, for two 8" subs.
Here is my dilemma. That still seems too small, especially ported. I can't find any 8" subs that would be happy in .5 cuft ported. So, assuming I am using that box, which would be better:
Two 8" subs like the Skar VD-8

One 8" sub that has the whole box to itself?
What about two 6.5" subs like the Skar EVL-65?
https://www.skaraudio.com/products/evl-65-inch-car-subwoofer?variant=18454532865
I just don't know if my issue is due to the subs down firing or the box size or what.
What would you do?
