[QUOTE="Parker22, post: 8620166, member: 578759"] I am looking for help designing a box for an extended cab F-250. I am wanting to go with 2 Sundown X8's on either a Rockford T1500BDCP or a Sundown SAE 1500... If the x8's don't have much to offer over the SA 8 v.3 maybe I could go that route on a t1001bcd or a SAE 1000... also maybe a slightly smaller box. But if the x8's offer the same sound quality and slightly more SPL I would want to go that route... Box would need an internal volume of 1.5 cubes after sub displacement. I want to tune to 31-33 hz.... I can build a box if I have blue prints, but in terms of figuring port size for tuning and subwoofer displacement I get lost. The dimensions I am willing to work with are 32" Wide, 18" High, and 12" Deep, I have attached a picture showing the max dimensions I can do. I cannot remove the seat cushion... that was my initial plan but it is not possible without removing the single seat on the drivers side as well. Some other concerns I have are if this will even sound good in an extended cab truck, it has been about 7-8 years since I have had any bass, previously I have had anything from 1 10" w7 to 2 15" t2's... in a Ford Explorer. I have fears the extended cab truck will sound bad or there will be port noise or storage sounds as I will be so close to the subs and port will be close to obstacles. I read forward firing is best in trucks.... Another concern is if my electrical would handle 1500+ watts... my truck is a 2011 F-250 Diesel so it has a pretty big alternator for a stock vehicle as well as 2 batteries.. I would have big 3 done so surely I would be okay? Thank you for any advice, input, or box designs.... I am willing to pay for a properly designed set of box blueprints that are straight forward.[ATTACH=CONFIG]26557128[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
