i would like to try it but im going with a single 12 and the gcon's box would have to be a little bigger than i have room for

hi all im wanting to get a system in my truck. its a 2009 chevy silverado regular cab. i need a cd player, subs and amp. im wanting to get all of these for around 600 because thats what i have saved up. i want the subs to get loud and still have a tight punch for all kinds of music. any suggestions to get me started would be great

its for a single 12. i have the cd player and amp ordered. going to be putting those in friday and picked up stuff to make the box. just have to order the sub now. probably going to go ahead and do the box to make sure i get it right before the subs gets here so i can just wire it up and try it when it gets here

i guess ill just have to make the depth a little steeper to make sure it fits

ill be moving the passenger seat up a little when i dont have anyone in there but want my seat leaned back on the box so i would need the port firing up or out the side. thats why i thought the aero is the easiest way for me to go

ive got a family member with a shop with a table saw and all the tools in his shop who i can get to help me with it. the designs and dimensions are the things killing me. i am confident in taking my time and constructing the box right but like you said i cant get the designs i need

alright well now im completely confused. do i need like 2 4" aero ports firing up to make more port area?

i thought you needed 12 to 16 inches of port area per square foot. how would i need 35 square inches for such a small box?

i was kind of the same way. i tried contacting fi with no response. i heard they were switching locations or something and were very busy so i had to go in another direction :/

i only have about 2.0 to 2.2 cubic foot to work with before sub displacement and port displacement. i know the 12 calls for 1.8 to 2.5 before displacement so i was wondering if it would be better for me to run 2 10's sealed and be more efficient instead of trying to squeeze in the 12 ported edit: sorry i hate this computer i meant 2 10 sealed or 1 12 ported sorry . . .

i guess it was too big but box dimensions were 43 wide 9 deep 14 tall

im gonna go with the ssd , 10 or 12 most likely the 12. i think aero port because i think i would be able to do that better because i dont have any experience with a slot port

i downloaded the torres box tuning calculator and it gives all the cut pieces you need and everything put it has it where you put in for slot ports. if anyone can help me out and give me the rough dimensions i need to put in to the port pieces i can get everything cut and put together i just dont know about getting the port dimensions right

i think the ssd has 20 xmax and i want about 33 or 34 hz. how much port area do i need? i wouldnt think much for such a small box

since it calls for up to 1.2 cubic foot the box i was suggesting is 1.3 before driver and port displacement

http://www.psp-inc.com/tools.html since i need more portit says with this i could use 2 3" ports at 24 inches or 1 4" port at 20 for 34 hz, i dont really understand how all this works just trying to get the best box for the sub

i would like to know as well

ive been looking at so many subs i just got mixed up. how much more port area would i need?

great. thanks for all your help. i posted this on the fi part but didnt get any help. i was thinking about doing a 1.5 cubic foot box with the sub on the passenger side and a 3 " aero port coming out behind the driver seat 10 inches long to tune it to 33 hz i think would that be fine

i know i didnt state this right the first time but what wattage should i run on the ssd? what did you use with yours?

does it usually take a while to ship the fi subs?

looks like its going to be the 10" ssd in a 1.5 cubic foot ported box on a rockford r1200.1 amp. with taking time on the box build and properly setting it all up hopefully ill be happy with it

i hate the decisions, im pretty mindset to do the 1 10 ported for now and then have the option to upgrade to another one later and upgrade amp. sounds like the fi ssd and sundown sa's are both great options, only difference i can really see if seems like the ssd likes to handle a little more power

ill look into it definitely. i posted this in the fi section but got no respone. i was thinking about doing 1 fi ssd 10 ported and if i wanted to add another later. make a 1.5 cubic foot ported box because i know that will give me plenty of room
