is it right to put a ported box just on the back seat of a truck or ported boxes made for car trunks?

no, if youre hearing alot of air moving, chances are that the box wasnt designd properly, and the port doesnt have enough area, so your getting port noise.

It's perfectly acceptable to have a properly built ported box running in the cab of a truck

Yeah although a decent ported box can have some slight port noise especially if you dont have a subsonic filter, you shouldnt hear air rather than bass. Was the box built and designed by someone knowledgable?

It sounds like youre getting some port noise to me. Who built your box??

ported box can be for any vehicle as long as you have the proper space, in your case it sounds like the box might have been designed wrong

what sub do you have?

i think i agree with the above posters. i run a huge ported box in the cab of my truck and if there is any port noise i sure as hell cant hear it thats for sure.

just plug your port into win and see what the mach speed looks like

what sub do you have?

the title says type R

the sub box was made from a guy who went to school for it its just a little bit of nosie but every little thing buggs me... but i guess i havent worked my sub in or set the amp get so when i do the bass will over take the air sound.... eh??

Generally is it enough air in a single cab to go ported??

yup there are a few ways but most people go sealed in single cab. i have seen a few long wedges with a side port

How would two or three 10s sound with ported compared to sealed?
