[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8671068, member: 676005"] Agree have not done a subwoofer setup in a truck but I agree with your view that ported is the way to go in a truck. Given the laws of physics then its ported enclosure, and the size of the space to install the dedicated subwoofer(s). Since you have a pair of 15's in your ride indicates you are after serious 'bass'. If your subwoofer box has already taken the required space and you are not happy with the result, maybe you may have to review your subwoofer and go with 2 x 12's in the dedicated space then you can tune it low to your liking. Maybe 15's may be too large to accommodate the box size in your vehicle. Time to visit your local car audio shop to get some views / ideas you could go. They may come up with something that you did not think of, as its their bread and butter. :fro: and they may have more experience in working on your ride type as well. I would just like to mention that port placement is a big factor since its the port that the sound emits from so proper execution is crucial to get the best out of them ported box. Maybe use 4 inch PVC ports firing upwards towards the cabin as the slot design ports are usually behind the seats or facing the side so it can lead to a loss of energy transfer due to the seat / side obstructing the bass energy. If you have the space, then do another box but do visit a car audio shop as they may suggest a better energy transfer using your current subwoofer that will put a grin on your face!
