i think you got the wrong thread man...

i just went basic 4.5@30hz because i just wanted a quick build and it sounds good...now im going to throw a bigger amp on it and then i will throw a vid up.

lol....14 cubes would be wild. thanks for the links i will get something good going with this sub.

i have enough room for the box i was just thinking something along the lines of 6-7ft.....i always thought 10+ boxes were for dd's and super woofers thats all....i didnt know the mach would hold up well in a box like that.

hey thank J....but is 10 cubic feet really the best box i should throw in this tahoe just wondering....thanks again for the help

i just picked up an extra 4ohm mj18 and i guess i will be throwing it into my tahoe....since i have a little room to play with i was wondering if one of you guys could please give a good box recommendation for this sub or is the standard 4.5 ported all i need....i would like to have the sub and port facing in the same direction because i just like that combo a lil better....thanks

i actually like running real fill and 6x9s do the trick for me....i mean chit some of us like having people in the car and feel that you cant have big subs on all of the damn time....i turn off my subs and just enjoy a real nice overal sound stage...but its all personal pref i guess. So where in your stage do the rears fit??? Exactly, nowhere. As for your big subs comment obviously you need a tuning lesson. If you can ever localize your subs they aren't tuned right or you are a basshead. Also, 6x9's are a joke. Yes I do realize there are some that are decent but if you arbitrarily select 100 different 6x9's there might be one pair that is actually worth a chit. It is the most underdesigned speaker shape there is. Components will generically smoke them in output and clarity across the board. PS. I also like having people in my car and truck and to this day no-one has ever complained about the lack of rear speakers in fact it is quite the opposite. I get comments from the back seat all the time amazed at how clean sounding and loud my system plays. im not going to get into a big war on this board because i see how you feel on this subject....there is nothing i can say here that would change the "experts" on this board... but what you are trying to say here is very wrong....yes just having a front stage only sounds good and people that dont really know audio will think its the best....its all personal pref in the end since it is your car....but to try and psuedo flaim me because rear fill is what i like and i happen to think its vital to a system is total bs. im not going to keep this flaim shyt going because its pointless you're right and im wrong....*cries* but if this kid or any other member on here that wants to go and seek advice from real car audio experts that build,compete and have won many world & regonal titles over the years....just head on down to the carsound board and see what the other side of the street has to say about system installs....those are great guys there and they dont try and spit the gospel to you...its just a group of guys that have been the recognized leaders and in the mobile sound field for the past 25 years..

interesting i did not know that....hmm

if you run a set of diamond audio 6x9's in the rear that will be more then enough to keep you happy...you can get them on ebay for like 100 bucks now i think....now front stage thats all on you, but for rear fill/i have an 18 in the trunk nothing else would come close to the output of the 6x9's for overall bang for the buck sound stage

thanks for that info...i guess it would be safe to say that i should be good with 3.5 each driver....i cant wait to get them in and post up some real vids and pics.

well i mean an actual good sounding performance from the speaker....not the i have 2 sony explodes 10's and a 50 watt crunch amp and my chit sounds good...i have been in car audio for the past 15+ years...my systems started with trash at first just like the industry and then i went up to full blown earthquake systems 6-15's or 4-18's powered by team pg or punch amps...then i grew up and switched to dyn's and mcintosh 440ms...i know what good is and i know what trash is. since this is a new brand that i had been hearing things about i figured why not sign up and ask them directly...thats why i was just trying to find out a little about how these speakers perform in small sealed boxes or what would be the ideal size box for these.

you know...real world like whats the norm that people are using with these speaks sealed with good results..

so splitting up about 7 cubic feet stuffed should be more then enough to make small animals drop dead when i drive by right... whats the ideal or optimal real world seal box size for these subs btw.

i'm about to get a pair of 18's and i only want to run them sealed in the smallest ideal box i can have them in...they are going in a 92 cadillac eldorado with a pg amp...if anyone here can help me out with the best per chamber volume and total box net that would be much appreciated....thanks and im glad i joined this site.
