Need help with my single cab ranger console box
Brad Barcia replied to Brad Barcia's topic in SPL & SQ / Fabrication
It should be close with the sub ,I subtracted .2 for the sub .I don't know about port volume ,over my head. I'm trying to read so I don't ask stupid questions ,I know how people hate that. I'm trying to learn about cabin gain,how to tune a box to a certain Hz , stuff like that. Most of the stuff I find is misleading though. -
Need help with my single cab ranger console box

Man I'm really confused now, I read if you use a bigger box than recommended you can underpowered them a they will pound. I have calculated four different times,3 ways I come up with 3 cubic ft.So that's what I have to work with and I'm planning on running it at 1ohm so 1183rms watts.So 2 10s,3 or 4 8s or maybe the hst stereo integrity(if I oversized the box and raised it above the seats so it can be over 9or 10 wide) Instead of will this work with that question that doesn't help anyone. Is there a formula or rule to go by for this? Like it's ok to give it 200rms less if you give it this much more room? Out of my head: I would love to come out to those things , I never know where they are. If you want some help with your box ,and I would like to learn.Your not that far, I could come down no problem. I guess I'll have to go bigger,if I'm gonna show it off . -

I wired the truck and finished the sound deadening, it's ready to see an installer on Mon! I have my c.t sounds 900.1 ran on it's own power wire and the 4 channel has it's own so they don't fight for power. I also put a brand new 850cca battery in,so they have all the power they need. The sundown 6.5s are REALLY moving with that amp. I wasn't clear when I said I bought 6.5 subs for midbass. They are from parts express and they are for midbass, I'm having two boxes built for straight up and down behind the seats. Sealed boxes tuned to 46Hz (what it recommended) with .4 cubic ft. I will fit them between the amps. The front doors are going to 5x7 components. -

W140 I'm heading in to Advanced Audio and detailing ,on Mon or Tues. Should I say you sent me? I tried and tried but only got 10 inches wide. I just seen a YouTube video of what I'm looking for in a single cab like mine. It had 4 obsidian 10s,with this awesome little armrest. I know I can't fit 4 10s, I'm just going to see what he can give me for cubes. -

I am going over to my friends house and I'm going to make tabs so I can slide the seats as far apart as possible to gain some more space ,Lets go for 11inches. I have a place in front of the seats behind the shifter,where I could lay that puppy sideways. That's still a lot to spend for me like I said before like 230.00 for one or two subs . I'm doing the rest of the sound deadening tomorrow and wiring . I will made at least 11 inches if not a foot. I get paid tomorrow too so if I need to buy woofers. I have another question what about custom subs ?I seen one that looked mean and had all good parts on eBay.soundqubed motor,sundown soft parts, some super awesome frame made by pixies,out of unicorn teeth. Just playing f**k nuts but you get the idea. I know I would have to get it from someone who is known for it. I would like to do a ported because it's louder but is there a sub like that stereo integrity hst11 -

Whoa that's what I'm talking about , my ranger is the year before, so it's smaller behind the seats. Looking at that box though I can fit two between my seats. Speaker boy , I have been living under a rock ,those subs look like the king. I think if I put the top of the woofer in front of my seats and have it taper in at the seats. I got up out of a sound sleep because I was so impressed by the specs.I have to ask are there woofers like this one? If I missed this ,I have missed others and I think one of these with my c.t sounds amp would be what I need. -

Probably not , what really did it was they were ready to help when I first got there.When I just needed help not new stuff,then they were to busy. I wrote a review on Facebook and they got it taken off and me kicked off for a week( oh no!). So yeah , not a fan ,I just opened the box and more mistakes and poor box construction( I guess I don't get terminals built in the box for 1600. Oh well live and learn. So yeah if someone wants to design a box for me, I need the help. -

W140 yeah let me know who it is, I hope it's not altimate audio. They did my first install and left out screws . My back seat fell out in my hand.I paid them 1600 for 1 12 in a t line box . They built the box did the "install"and sold me one of 1 of their subs for 1600. I bought my amp and wire kit ,I went back when it pulled out. They told me they didn't have time to hook up two wires I would have to wait til next week. So I hope it's not them ,I told them I would never come back. -
It says what I was looking for in the topic, I just didn't want to be repetitive. I'm looking for sundown 6.5x subs , I have one .

Hi I bought one and thought I could get more later , so I'm looking. Would like one more but two would be better. Thanks

The reason Im keeping the bed is so I can haul a dirtbike or two, the bed is fiberglass so I was thinking of some crazy stuff. I want to get a ladder rack (things they use for construction) and use it to support a roof top tent . Then I can put the quad or dirtbike under it collapse the tent and go. I plan to get generator/invert from HF to power either a small air compressor or welder. This way I can go anywhere on the trail a bike breaks i can pull it up and work on it. Run a youtube video on the screen to watch a repair ,or movie when im pissed. This way I can go out an ride the bikes hard and not worry about needing to fix something. I should be able to get good mileage, go do my version of camping and have somewhere to sleep. I won't have to pay for a hotel or drive back to civilization to sleep , I can spend money on gas and motorcycle stuff . I hope this makes sense I 'm on the road . -

I'm building a prerunner ranger,with a 2.3 turbo . I don't want a heavy front end when I'm jumping through the dunes.I had a 2.3 turbo in a mustang drift missile.They are bulletproof,and easy to get to 400 rwhp . I beat that mustang so bad ,and it wouldn't die .I ran a hx35,water/meth,megasquirt,welded rear end , I used to jump it , ran autocross,made a dirt track behind my house and ran it.I like them cause they are cheap ,easy to work on , easy to make power. I know someone that has a e30 two door with one swapped in.We traded cars for the weekend and I hate to say this but it feels like the perfect engine for it. -

Need help with my single cab ranger console box
Brad Barcia replied to Brad Barcia's topic in SPL & SQ / Fabrication
Yes , those aero ports look bad , I have no idea how this works. Coming from building turbocharged engines and muscle cars ,I feel really stupid . I can afford 230 for a new driver or drivers. The new dimensions come from raising it up to rest my arm on .I have only about 4inches behind the seat . So yeah I would love to put maybe dual ports?(more port area = more power?) -

Ok I am just shooting from the hip, I don't know what I'm doing. All I know is I like as much bass as possible. Is there a book or websites so I can learn? I went to our cities car audio and this is what they told me. They wanted 2,400 to do the console and everything, I can't do that. So I was trying to duplicate it. I see they don't know what's up. So I will follow what you guys tell me, but I want to run these amps,c.t sounds 900.1,Coustic 321qe. -

I'm sorry who do you ask for a design ? I can give all sorts of interior shots . I want the console because I can use it for gauges ,and switches for water/meth system. -

So not possible then? I've seen some single cab ranger with sa-8 and it shook the doors. I think my shaking the doors and yours are way different. I've never had over 2000rms so what you think is junk is , amazing to me.so what would be the best to get the most spl out of that little space. I made a box for 2 more 6.5 subs , and then two more behind the seats . I'm going to set them at midbass frequency and then put tweets on the head unit . -
