Downfiring sub box

Generally a shop that carries a higher end product does better work with lower turnover. Look for a shop that is a DD Audio dealer.

Thanks, there is only 1 in my area.

nah look for a hybrid audio technologies dealer, audiofrog, mosconi/gladen, audible physics, zapco etc... These guys would be the real deal for SQ installs. DD places are a coin flip 50/50

They deal with Audiofrog, DD designs, Illusion Audio, Mosconi and Audison. They also install window tint. The brands they carry is 3M, Sunshades Tint and Sound

Just left from getting a quote. He didn’t recommend having the port fire in the passenger side panel. He insisted I have the port fire forward between the buckets. Also quoted me $750 for an unfinished box for a single 12”. I’m about to just attempt this myself. I just need someone to help with blueprints.

yikes 750 is waaay too much, half of that at a shop is reasonable but 750, definitely make it yourself.

So... I hate to thread hijack but what are my options for getting a blueprint?

I did multiple systems in my Chevy s10 before I found what I liked. I downfired sealed alpine type R 12s with ok results. Did a forward firing ported box with the same subs with better results by far. Upfired a ported Rockford 15 with decent results. its hard to tell really, because I had so many systems with different wattages and sub configurations, that comparing them to one another isn’t very scientific and probably unreliable, however, the best sounding sub I had was a focal polyglass sub with the sub firing forward and the port sideways firing into the drivers side door. It wasn’t the loudest, but the focal sub was way less power than any of the other subs I had used. In that configuration, that focal sub sounded great, and even being a lower power sub, it had impressive output. In my experience in that truck, sub forward with port firing sideways seemed to be the configuration to go with for me.
