yeah y not try some 8's ported ssa f8l F8L 8" Sound Solutions Audio 8" 650W F8L Series Subwoofer - SSA STORE
Mounting depth on those is 6.5"yeah y not try some 8's ported ssa f8l F8L 8" Sound Solutions Audio 8" 650W F8L Series Subwoofer - SSA STORE
Oncore seems really interesting, especially their surround technology being able to increase cone area by 100 sq in! Neat the founder of Image Dynamics is the one of the owners of Oncore.Based on your wants, you might look into DD SL series or possibly Oncore audio SM series
I know. I want to run a sealed setup. My thoughts are that if I can get a sealed setup to play loud and low I will be thoroughly pleased. True SQL.Yeah, you're going to have a tall order to run 1500W RSM each in a sealed application with that mounting depth. Can you not run a ported setup or do you not want to run a ported setup?
doesnt work that way. In a truck sealed is a guaranteed under 140 db club and not play lows at all. Truck's resonant frequencies are higher than trunks and suvs so you wont play low, you'll peak high with a sealed box. The overall loading acoustics are different as well, good chance where you position the subs, you wont even get any output due to phase cancellation.Oncore seems really interesting, especially their surround technology being able to increase cone area by 100 sq in!

I stand corrected then. Excellent point, Jeff.doesnt work that way. In a truck sealed is a guaranteed under 140 db club and not play lows at all.

The proper way to do a truck setup would be ported 8s side fire port under the seat tuned for best SQ and bandwidth. Your sealed idea will be the opposite of actual SQL bass.
I'm going to have to get re-educated a bit...in a vehicle with a HRF, is it the tuning frequency the most important part of the install? I know it is important, but...say compared to power and cone area as you have more variables to work with in something such as an SUV...my buddy's ford ranger tends to peak at low 50s. So in your truck might be upper 40s.
One of my buddy's dodge ram extended peaked at 40hz tuned at 28hz port.
if ported correctly, you should get a good bit louder than an SUV however it'll be a bit harder to play lows unless you build the enclosure for that purpose which requires a good bit of airspace.I'm going to have to get re-educated a bit...in a vehicle with a HRF, is it the tuning frequency the most important part of the install?
