Bass in the Back

[Subz 10+ year member]

So yeah, the area behind the seat of my truck is about as small as it gets. I do have everything in the sig aside from the 4" back there, but I'm wanting something that will play a lot louder. Pretty much my only consideration is to put bigger subs into the bed of the truck right behind the cab there, and run the speaker wire through the cab into the bed.

It's probably a great assumption that it'd sound good if you were standing outside of the vehicle, but what about inside the cab? From experience, a lot of the better sounding systems come from hatchbacks and extended cab pickups, but that's all in a matter of opinion. With the subs being in the bed, there'd be no way for the bass to reflect off of surfaces inside the cab.

Mainly, what would this sound like in the cab? Or what options do I have possibly going with to make a setup of this sort work? Of course the space is pretty much unlimited if I use the bed... we're talking six 15's if I had the money because the space is there.

Thanks

are you talking about doing a blow through???

Not necessarily. But then again, I generally understand what a blow-through is, but I don't know how to fabricate something of the sort.

Either do the blow through or limit yourself to the cab area...you'd be amazed at what you can do in such a small space //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

just putting a box in the bed will not give you hardly anything in the cab. Like Jim said either limit your self to the cab or do a blowthroug, If you want info on it PM me and Ill give you a more indepth description.

Well that's what I've thought as well. Actually I'm wondering about something I came across today:

Any ideas at all on what that lil bassud would sound like with 450 RMS? It'd beat like 4 15's wouldn't it? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif Seriously though...?
