People who have done a big blowthrough...

Port it out the back window, always makes mad DB's that way. Ask basebalz. Or his dad I suppose...

Hahaha jk Berger.

lol out the back window. I would assume that if the tl is mounted about 4 to 10 inches up and to the left of the front right corner of the truck. and you had the port firing 6 12's about a foot and a half from the mic It may get a little higher lol. at least I would think so... people get like 160's or so when the system they are running get around 150's so... I would see what a port on both sides would do. Would it hurt to build a port on each side then seal up one and try it then change see if there is a difference...?

so would i be wasting my time doing this? i would like a better sealed up score for the power i have and having a 16v setup i should be getting better numbers than this

Do a blow through 4th order with loading wall on pass side port on driver. Unless you do meca headrest then port on driver is better 99% of the time.

oh really dumbfuvck?

thats why i managed to do pretty dam good at finals with just 2 18's non walled against 8 15 in a 4th order, and dude with 6 12's in a ported wall

i missed 1st place by .2 db's which if i hadnt did something stupid i would have beat that.

so i think imma have to say i know my s-10 ext cab trucks

if your so smart? whats the best sub/port combo in it?

Theres really no need for you to try and prove me to be a noob because you're not going to get anywhere with it. Your lack of knowedge is quite obvious. What was your score at world finals anyway and with what gear? This should be interesting

if you were louder with port on the passenger side compared to the drivers side in a wall then you definitely were doing something wrong.

EVERY SINGLE WALL IN THE WORLD IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS THAT HAS DONE WELL IN SPL HAS HAD THE PORT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE MIC.

I dont even see how you can deny this..unless maybe you're talking about MECA and havin the sensor at the headrest then maybe itll be louder. But thats not what the original poster is suggesting anyway.

Just incase you really are living in a dream world heres a few pics of the loudest vehicles inthe world with the port on the opposite side of the sensor...in various classes aswell just so you dont think its based entirely on one class lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif Ur a piece of work.

Bob Perillos Van superstreet 5+ 168.7 db sealed on the TL

Peter Augustijnen Superstreet 5+ 169.7db sealed on the TL with only 6 amps

TVE Soundsystems Superstreet 1-2 169.7 db sealed on the TL

Car Audio Performance from Greece. Street Max 165.7db sealed on the TL

and even in a no-wall class its louder on the passenger side.

Team XS SPL Jeffrey Superstreet no-wall 164.3

To answer the question to the original poster...start buy putting the port onto the far drivers side. Guaranteed once your port is tuned that you will gain quite substantially. Id estimate probably 3 or 4 db right away. A 4th order or even a 6th order bandpass would also be an interesting build to try aswell considering you have the space.

thank you for your help i appreciate it. i will go ahead and do the drivers port again .. i also got excellent advice from tommy s/n "RIO" on here as well .. i'm not a noob i just wanted to try a different type of setup besides the straight spl setup but if that's what i got to do i will go back to that.. i had tried streetmax in it about 3 years ago here's a pic of that box..

was doing 155's with not much box tuning .. never really dialed it in i'm sure i could of gotten more out of it but i wanted to try bass race.

drivers side port doesnt have to be an SPL setup. You can either add in a thicker baffle for more port depth or make your enclosure bigger to lower your tuning more for daily driving.

The loudest bassracers in the world are all using bandpasses though now. 4th orders...although 6th order should be louder once its dialed in

think i'm going to go down to 2 18's in here back to the drivers side port.. and if that dont work i will go to the blowthrough. what's your thoughts about that?

 

[KHARPS 10+ year member]

No point in doing a blowthrough if you can fit a pair of 18s without one

i'm just saying if it doesn't do good numbers i could go to the blowthrough if needed and go back to 6 12's..

You'd think people that were going to do a wall setup or blowthrough setup would look @ the best types of designs before just throwing it together.

Pretty big project to skimp on the design.

 

[TeamXDMatt 10+ year member]

i don't have many design choices lol i don't have alot of room ... i wanted to try the port on top but its a fail in my truck so i have no choice to go back to the drivers side port which don't matter to me as long as i can do alot better that what i am now. i really didn't have enough room for these DR's .. i was only running them in 10.3 after port displacement but after adding the sub displacement i was only running them in 9.4 cubes and thats definitely not enough.

here are some measurements on my box with no port dispacement or anything ..

35.5*44*14=12.65 cubes so i'm hoping 2 18's would do better here. i could stagger the fit on 2 18's for them to fit.

2 18's in a bandpass blowthrough. if you're going to hack up your truck, might as well go all out.
