[QUOTE="West1, post: 8630347, member: 586208"] [quote name='Jeffdachef']that kick/punch is 50hz to 70hz response. Good luck getting any of that out of the X-10 if you have the megaroll surround version. Even with a different box, megarolls have sh*t upper end bandwidth. Most of the sundown nuthuggers will say "NO thats the range your door speakers need to cover!" i'll be like "motha ***** do you know how much cone area and power is needed to get midbass to keep up with 155+ db???" While its 1000x easier just to have a sub that can play that range and roll off to 80hz cleanly. Rather than a sub that drops dead in the water after 50hz. Unless you are going for pure lows, always choose the standard surround option over the megaroll surrounds when buying sundown subs.[/QUOTE] As a noob, I've now learned to stick with the normal design. I considered 4 sa8 v3's but reading on 8's, they tend to be more loud with minimal lows. Hence the idea of one 15" U series for a more balanced sound. [quote name='Jeffdachef']Sub facing down port towards driver is a much less than optimal loading configuration. for trucks if the box is big and very close to the roof of the truck, sub up, port up. If its not close to the roof then sub forward port to the passenger side. If you get a 15, MAKE SURE you have the proper space to fully build a proper box for the sub. Hell, if you got rid of your seats, you should have a fk ton of room in that crew cab, do two SA 15s or 18s instead and say fk it, lets do it big...

I'm trying to capitalize on a sub(s) with the car power I'm working with (270 mechman, FSD amp and 2 batteries). I asked for sub down because I was trying to gut the rear seats and place the seating on top of the box in case the kids needed a ride. That did not work so now I have as much space as the door width allows. As for BoxBuilder, I was trying to wait for Cstang but I got impatient as he was working mad hrs for a good length of time.
