My 1st Setup!

[zimmer82 10+ year member]

well just finished ordering my 1st audio setup. Consists of:

1- '05 12" Alpine Type R (dual 2ohm)

1- Orion 600d (Refurbished)

1- Audio Pipe 4 guage amp kit

This just is the bass part. I plan on getting some Mb Quart, Focal, or maybe some Rev Series for the mids n highs.

oh yeah, the enclosure will be ported. What should i tune it to?

Anyone with a similar setup that has a ported enclosure and would like to hook me up with their tuning would be great!

Again....this is my 1st setup and it may be one of the best "1st" setups i've seen around these forums (IMO //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif )

Should sound pretty nice. I would probally port it to around 30hz.

This is going into a F-150 ext cab, will be sitting on top of the back seat. Alpine suggests 1.0-1.75 cubes. Should i get a box closer to 1.0 or 1.75? How should i position the sub? Firing up? Towards the dash? To the side? Towards the back window?

take out the back seat

I would probally aim towards around 1.5 ft^3. As for positioning, it'll take some playing around with. I've never dealt with installing in a truck so I really can't tell you which way is best.

taking out the backseat is not an option, sorry. Gotta haul the drunk friends around when they are too wasted to drive themselves.

How are you going to do that with subs on the back seats?

They aren't that comfortable, you know.

Just put your friends in the bed lol. Everything looks good, though.

What are you getting MacBeth? I thought my KX600.1 and 12" L5 was a pretty nice first setup imo //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Fire your subs up you'll get the best output like that.

for my bass i want to get two rl-p 12's ported. And put a nine.1 on them. Cash is a first but i WILL be getting that no matter what it takes.

Hey zimmer just make sure you got that box wedged in tight between the front and back seats so that it won't vibrate too much or fly around if you get in an accident.
