if you dont cut a hole in the back its a complete waste...

I'm pretty sure its a complete waste either way man. MT's are not designed for daily driving, if you are still asking whether you need to do a blow through or not, you probably shouldn't be messing with them.

this is one of those threads where someone says theyre gonna do all of this outrageous stuff, and it never really happens. i wish people already bought their shit before they posted in the box building section.

do you do much offroading or anything crazy or is this just a crusin truck because you dont want to have your box part in the cab part in the bed and you get it binding up pretty good youll either screw up your box or your tuck.

I agree, I cut my 92 chevrolet silverado extended cab, to put in two audiobahn 1805's and two mmats d300hc's. I noticed a lot more flex in the cab, namely the back window. I ended up welding in re-enforcements and it helped alot. But my subs always got dirty in the bed, I tried to seal it, but its **** near impossible. I never went off roading but I could only imagine my truck falling apart if I would have. I used an acordian style weather boot to seal the opening and plenty of window silicon. I tried facing the subs in the truck, then I rebuilt my box with subs facing bed and the ports coming out the back of the box into the cab. It was sealed around the box so that only the ports fired into the truck and it was incredibly loud inside the truck and outside, It flexed my back window and fiberglass bed cover a lot. It was a pain in the *** to do it though and I would not recommend it(especially if you are not quite educated because you could cut through structural supports). However i was the only one around that I had seen with it done. Whatever you decide, good luck.

it is mainly a cruisin truck

what about puttin them under the seats

 

[powersupply 10+ year member]

I dont think you would have room for 2 15" mt's under the seats. Maybe a couple of 10's

 

[Neostar63 10+ year member]

You could rip out the back seats and box in the extended part of you cab. I dont know that you would have enough room to do two mt's, but there would be enough for one at least.

 

[Moe Lester 10+ year member]

just wondering, but do you realize what all is going to be required to run a pair of MT 15s?

 

[bcarpenterfhl 10+ year member]

like i stated earlier, this isnt gonna happen.

 

[Neostar63 10+ year member]

I agree. Mt is a pretty serious woofer to run even one of.

i dont want to lose the cargo space of my back seat but i think i might not use the mt cause i dont really want to cut a hole in the back of the cab.

What are your goals with this MT? Do you plan on just waking up the neighbors with a 45hz tone? Or are you planning on competing?

If its either of those cases don't even think about getting it. No Offense but you do not hvae the knowledge to execute a very quality SPL system. If you just want to be loud and out do your friends, its the wrong sub, its not really good to reproduce music. Maybe let us know what kind of budget you've got for everything that you will need, and what you do need, then what your goals are (SPL SQ SQL) and there will be many willing people to give you a hand.
