plans for sub box for 1995 gmc sonoma

[borgey401]

I have a 1995 GMC Sonoma that I am going to put 2 little JL Audio W1v2 10" subs. The truck has an extended cab and that's where I would like to put the box. I am planning on taking out the jack which goes along the back. I would like it tuned somewhat high anywhere from 38-40hz. These subs are not made to handle super low bass. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Why would you think the subs won't perform on lower bass? Honestly though there is a few ways you van setup an enclosure to work in your application.

Those subs will play lower, all about the box man. You definitely don't want to tune that high, in my opinion.

I think the tuning would be subjective to the enclosure and application. You do not always have to "tune" low in order to have that kind performance from the setup.

Well you guys DEF know a lot more about this stuff than I personally do, so how do you think I should tune it? So do I basically just PM one of those names that were listed in the thread for plans? I noticed two of them were posted and I do not want to offend anyone by not going with a particular person so I am not sure which one to talk to LOL.

Yes, I know this. I design boxes too.

Then why would you suggest something that could be wrong?

BTW Being snide does not make anything better here.

I just think those woofers would work better with a lower tuning than 38-40 hz.

What do you guys think about tuning it at around 35Hz?
