Thanks for the fast reply....four 15's and that's it.....hmmm....what if I built the box over the rear window line.

Steve Meade does four 18's in a Tahoe,is the tahoe's cargo space that much bigger than a 4dr explorer?

Yes it is, from what I know...

What year Explorer?

 

[Phreaker 10+ year member]

97 as the newest 95 as teh oldest.

SO, I am guessing you dont have it yet?

 

[screamerbolt 10+ year member]

you can fit 4 15's or 6 12's

I did a 95 with 4 15" once that is why I am asking what year. It all depends on what subs and what airspace they need?

this would be interesting to see when it gets off the ground.

i can fit about 16 or so 18"s with that much room, wait was i supposed to assume you wanted them in boxes?

No I don't have it yet but I am looking.....

Well right now I am guessing 4 15" Fi Q's or something.

If I were to do 18's I think that 4 would fit it's just the box would be higher than the rear window line to make up for it and give the subs adequate air space.

You sure I couldn't fit 4 18's in a ported box in the back of a 4dr explorer even if I were to make the box as wide and as long as can fit and then make up the rest of the airspace needed by building the box to be taller than the rear window lline?

Here is a good pic of the cargo space in a 1996 Ford Explorer 4dr...



See if you can measure atleast 3 feet across and 4 feet back then all you need to do is make the box that big and 2 feet tall and you have enough airspace for 4 18" Fi Q's (6-10ft^3 per 18" Q) so I figure the BTL's needed airspace can't be too much more than that...

...infact I think I read that steve uses 4 BTL 18's in a 20ft^3 ported box tuned to 30Hz.

On the 96 4dr Ford Explorers How many feet are there between each wheel well and how many feet from the back seat tot he tailgate?

If you were to measure from just above the wheel wells how many feet would there be across?

i dont think 4 18s would fit in a older explorer, and 4 15s would need a box a good bit above window line

thats not factoring in the huge port and bracing needed for a 20ish cubic foot box... 4 18s is a lot of room, even 4 15s is a lot of room

you figure .......4 18's is ATLEAST 20 cubes...only reason meade can do it is the power the guy has lol. Im guessing your not going to buy 4 5000 watt amps either. u need ATLEAST a box 40x40 to even FIT the subs....so go from there.
