Phoenix Gold Phorum

Hey guys,

I need some advice here. As always you all have steered me in the right direction. So i have a few questions and ill give you the run down of where i am at w what i have.

As you know i just picked up an ext cab pick up (01 dodge dakota) this is not the quad cab but the extended.

Anyways, heres what i have so far and what id like to do.

My hu is a pioneer premier deh-p880prs (itll be in 3way active), then to a PG tld66, then to PG blk zx450 for highs and mids, a PG blk zx500 bridged for sub duty. Ill be running 1/0 ga to 4ga for power, and i have the dynamat kit on the way. Subs i have a few different options. Keep in mind my goal is to have tight clean bass. Maybe loud when i wanna show off. Heres my options i have on hand for subs.

2 mtx blk & gld 12's
2 RF rfd1212 12's
2 mtx 5k 10's
1 PG ti12

Id like to find some really good 8's and run 3 of them (mtx 7k or 8k's, or alpine type r 8's, kicker solobarics rounds or 1gen square) or maybe run 3 10's

So i wanna keep the back stealthy, and somewhat functional.

So my big 2 questions for you guys is......

Has anyone used or built down firing enclosures (face of subs like an 1"-2" off the floor or rear wall) i like the idea but i worry about canceling sound waves......

Also what effect will ports do in this application?

Please lmk what you all think and mostly what u have experienced and heard in other set ups.

Thanks

what kinda of room is back there? the amps and subs would take up a fair amount of room
I would do the 10" smaller box tight bass and still be able to get dirty you can do a ported box for the most db out of them
what speaker will you be using?
also you post 2 of the same posts


I would sell a set of speaker and buy Drock rsdc 10 nib x 2 than the subs will match the amps and sound great

Enough room for either a custom box or prefab. Theres plenty of room. I plan on removing the rear bench so I only lay things back there. Ill prob never have anyone sit back there.

I am working on a deal to hopefully sell a set of the RF's. I have a total of 3 sets left. I was eyeballing drocks or whom ever had 3 10's they just listed. Id like to do that in a setup. Ill see what more options I have after this deal I am working.

In the mean time, I wanna see what everyones thoughts are for an ext cab set up.

now that would be great

Yea it would thanks to u, ill be sending it off here hopefully in a week or two

Guys the main thing im looking for is whats yalls experience w downfiring subs an inch to a couple off the floor. Id like to donthis but im really afraid of the sound waves canceling each other

Mine are about 2" off the floor and do just fine. Just make sure the air can get out. You could give them a slight angle if you have the room

Great Art! I was thinking if I did a down fired setup I would do an angle to "project" the waves to the front of the cabin.

Anyone else have any input?

Heres mine.

Two elite 12's sealed under the seat, downfireing in 1.25 cu ea.
Raised 2.5"

It does a 146 on a a/c meter.

The higher you can get the box the better.
