Enclosure ideas

[R/T Pimp 10+ year member]

I am looking for ideas form everyone. I am changing my setup for a more daily friendly setup. I am currently running 2 Treo SSX 15s on 2 Treo SSX 2000s, ported to 35 hertz. I love them but I have sold the setup. So I want to try something more sq orientated but I actually want to get it louder. My obstactle is I want to keep it behind the back seats in my 4 door Jimmy. I will be using Treo again.

So what enclosure types would you guys recommend, I was considering a 4th order. I was considering multiple subs sealed like 4 18s, 4 15s, or 6 12s sealed with 6000+ rms. Anyway please offer your suggests.

wall the 4 18's sealed, or you may be able to wall 4 15's ported? You can still sound good ported.

If you have the space, 4 18's in about 26-28 cubes, tuned to 31Hz, with each having a good 3k watts would be retarded...Id go for it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Well here is my problem with typical ported enclosures is that rap sounds awesome but when I put metal in seems like there is no impact. Or when songs get into higher frequencies they sound real week. But when you listen to a sealed enclosure they just get so low, and reproduce the high notes so much smoother. I hope that all made sense. I am trying to broaden the frequency response.

Go with a 4th order. Mine plays everything from 20hz to 80hz. The lows feel like a massive fan and the highs feel like you're in a flat out SPL fartbox. It has the smooth lows for rap and the super tight punchy bass for kicks or faster bass beats.
